Technical Checklist
See the difference
Don't let a project accounting tool stand in for a full operations platform. When your commercial work demands real dispatch, asset management, and live margin visibility — the gaps in a projects-first tool cost you daily.

"We have quite a few workarounds for what we're doing in Knowify. The budgeting and the reports — it's not as good as it could be. If you try to pull a report, it still doesn't separate things out. There's a whole bunch of buckets and it's like, what are these even for?"
Partners
Trusted by leading commercial operators
Every month, advanced commercial teams outgrow residential tools and switch to a backbone built for the commercial trade — not just generic software.
Specialized Infrastructure
What makes a "commercial backbone" different?
Data granularity
Residential tools track jobs. BuildOps tracks the full asset lifecycle—units, sub-components, and long-term maintenance costs.
Financial logic
Go beyond paid vs. unpaid. Track WIP and committed costs with a ledger built for how CFOs actually manage projects.
Offline-first engineering
Built for the field. Techs complete complex work with no signal, then sync automatically when back online.
One System, Every Workflow
A single operating backbone
AI that already knows your business
OpsAI is built into BuildOps. It already knows your jobs, your crews, and your data. It handles the busywork, flags what matters, and keeps your team focused on the work that actually moves the needle.
Service that scales without slipping
More service work only pays off if margins hold and customers come back. BuildOps keeps every job on track from first dispatch to final invoice, so growth doesn't come at the cost of control.
Find, quote, and close more work
Good contractors lose deals not because they can't do the work, but because follow‑ups slip and quotes go cold. BuildOps keeps your pipeline moving so the right jobs don't get away.

Common Questions
Clear answers for
serious contractors
How does BuildOps handle integration with my existing ERP (Sage, Viewpoint, etc.)?
BuildOps features a bidirectional, ledger-sync engine. Data flows from the field directly into your ERP's job costing and payroll modules, keeping your financial records current without manual re-entry.
What is the typical implementation timeline?
Most commercial teams are fully live within 8–12 weeks. You get a dedicated implementation manager — not a self-guided setup — who maps your workflows, migrates your data, and stays with you through go-live and beyond.
Is the platform's AI (OpsAI) ready for use now?
Yes. OpsAI is live and built into your workflows. It recaps each day, flags risks before they hit your margin, and gives every role — from tech to CFO — a clear next step. No add-on required.
How do you ensure high adoption rates among field technicians?
The mobile app works offline, forms are tied to assets, and daily reports take minutes. Techs from 18 to 63 have adopted it — because it makes their day easier, not harder. One app. One login. No workarounds.
How secure is our operational and financial data?
BuildOps is cloud-native with enterprise-grade security, role-based access controls, and encrypted data at rest and in transit. Your data stays protected, always accessible, and always yours.
Can BuildOps manage both high-volume service and complex build phases?
Yes. Service, projects, sales, and financials all run on one connected platform. Whether it's a 30-minute PM visit or a six-month build-out, every workflow lives in one place — no separate tools, no double entry, no workarounds.
