Feature
ServiceTrade
BuildOps
Platform Type
End-to-end sales & service operations solution with built-in financial and customer management.
Construction-first platform claiming to be “all-in-one,” but lacks key capabilities for service work.
Speed to Execution
Connected workflows between field, office, and customer enable quick job closeouts with simplified invoicing and faster payments.
Complex, deeply nested workflows require many clicks leading to invoicing delays and slower job closeouts.
Technician Productivity
Easy-to-use mobile app equips techs with service, asset, parts, & other job details to do the job right the first time.
Limited ability for technicians to access or modify previous work orders and time tracking challenges for union shops.
Parts Management
Advanced parts management solution that supports complex scenarios, including split POs, partial returns, and detailed inventory tracking.
Difficulty managing complex inventory tasks such as non-standard purchases and partial returns.
Asset Tracking
Connects all asset-related service work in one place, providing the visibility and tools to effectively manage the complete asset lifecycle.
Basic asset tracking lacking detailed industry-specific data needed for optimal lifecycle management and accurate pricing.
Customer First Experience
Customer portal to manage jobs, quotes, invoices, plus direct links providing quick access to approve quotes, view job details, or pay invoices without logging in.
Customer portal offers friction-filled, static updates consisting of manually uploaded PDFs and Word docs.
Reporting & Analytics
Role-specific dashboards and customizable reports offer real-time business analytics and operational insights.
Basic reporting that often requires additional manual analysis to extract useful insights.
Focus on Service Work
Designed specifically to enhance recurring service operations and ongoing customer engagement.
Broad construction focus that’s geared towards general contractor work and isn’t specialized in service maintenance.
