Nine accounts renew inside 30 days and three of them are the ones to worry about. Their ticket volume is up while usage is falling, which is the pattern that preceded every churn last quarter.

Runs

Every step, every tool call, every cost, and who approved it.

The work between your tools, done

A contracting business runs on Buildertrend, Jobber, a mailbox and a bank. What falls between them, the call during a job, the follow-up nobody sent, the invoice nobody chased, is what Daciel picks up, with you approving what leaves.

Marcus Hale9:12 AM

Acme wants a renewal quote. Their contract is up in three weeks.

Ana Duarte9:12 AM

Ticket volume has climbed every month this quarter. Read that before we price it.

Marcus Hale9:13 AM

So someone pulls usage, open tickets and the last two invoices. Three systems.

Priya Raman9:14 AM

And most of an afternoon. Hand it over and hold the send until one of us reads it.

Marcus Hale9:14 AM

@Daciel draft the Acme renewal from usage and tickets, hold the send

Two jobs it does on day one

Estimates followed up

The bid went out Friday. A follow-up drafted from the estimate, held for you, sent from your mailbox, logged on the lead.

What can AI actually do for contractors?

For a contracting business the useful AI is not a chatbot. It is the jobs that fall between the tools the business already pays for: the phone that rings during a job, the enquiry that never got a follow-up, the invoice that aged because nobody chased it. Each is routine, record-driven and easy to hand to an agent that can read the record and knows what it may not do.
