Stacks by Trade

Stacks by Trade

Not every contractor runs the same jobs. So not every contractor should run the same software stack.

This page is your jump-off point. Pick your trade, then go to a focused stack page built for how you actually work.

Each stack will cover:

  • Time tracking for crews
  • Scheduling and job details
  • Payroll and basic HR
  • Job costing and accounting
  • Project management and documentation
  • CRM and pipeline tracking

Ops Stack for Commercial Roofers

Commercial roofing is fast-moving, high-ticket, and detail-heavy. Crews bounce between sites, change orders are constant, and owners want proof everything was done right.

This stack is built to help roofing companies:

  • Get clean hours by job and cost code
  • Keep schedules and crews aligned across multiple sites
  • Run payroll without a weekly fire drill
  • See what they made or lost on each project
  • Store photos, documents, and change orders in one place

Use this if most of your work is commercial roofs and you’re tired of juggling paper, texts, and generic tools.

Ops Stack for Commercial Paving Contractors

Paving lives and dies by logistics and timing. Weather, traffic control, equipment scheduling, and crew coordination all hit at once.

This stack is designed to help paving contractors:

  • Schedule crews, trucks, and equipment without confusion
  • Track hours and production per job or lane mile
  • Keep payroll and job costing aligned with actual field work
  • Document work for municipalities, GCs, and property managers

Use this if you’re running asphalt, concrete paving, or parking lot projects and need smoother coordination between office, field, and equipment.

Ops Stack for Commercial HVAC & Mechanical

HVAC and mechanical work lives in service calls, projects, and ongoing maintenance agreements. Techs need clear tickets, parts, and documentation at their fingertips.

This stack is built to help HVAC/mechanical companies:

  • Dispatch techs efficiently with clear job details
  • Track time and materials by work order or project
  • Connect field tickets to invoicing and accounting
  • Keep service contracts, PM schedules, and site histories organized

Use this if you run commercial HVAC or mechanical service/projects and want a cleaner link between dispatch, techs, and billing.

Ops Stack for Concrete & Masonry Contractors

Concrete and masonry jobs are sequence-sensitive. Delays, rework, and bad communication get expensive fast.

This stack is meant to help concrete and masonry contractors:

  • Plan and schedule pours or phases with fewer surprises
  • Track labor and equipment time to each pour or section
  • Keep change orders, RFIs, and approvals documented
  • See job performance clearly instead of guessing on margin

Use this if you focus on structural concrete, flatwork, masonry, or site concrete and want tighter control over labor, equipment, and job results.

How to Use This Page

  • Find the trade that fits you best
  • Open that stack page
  • Circle what you already have, highlight the gaps, and fix one layer at a time

Your goal isn’t to buy more software. Your goal is to build a stack that crews actually use, the office can trust, and the owner can read in plain English.
