Two platforms, one delivery standard

Whichever system runs your business, we make it work.

ServiceTitan leads in residential home services. BuildOps is built for commercial contractors. We are certified on both, so you get advice based on how your business runs, not on which software we sell.

Sound familiar?

The software is in. The operation still runs on workarounds.

Broken pricebooksTechs quote from memory because the book is out of date or impossible to navigate.
Inventory & warehouse chaosTruck stock does not match the system and materials walk off unbilled.
Unreliable job costingYou cannot tell which jobs, techs or business units make money.
Scheduling inefficienciesThe dispatch board fights your team instead of helping it.
Slow cash flowInvoices and payments stall between the field, the office and accounting.
Reports nobody trustsEvery meeting starts with an argument about whose numbers are right.
Technicians underperformingNo clear targets, no clear feedback, no clear path to improve.
A half-configured platformYou pay for features your team has never switched on.
Leaders stuck firefightingOwners and managers spend the day fixing problems instead of growing.

Lost profit.Lost time.Lost scale.

Meet the founder

Lorenzo Plaath

Founder & Principal Consultant · ServiceTitan Certified Coach

Lorenzo started his career at De Beers in South Africa, managing diamonds in the ground. He now helps contractors build gold-standard operations above it.

As a senior technology leader for Service Experts and Enercare, he led digital transformation across more than 190 HVAC, plumbing and electrical locations in North America. He selected and implemented ServiceTitan, SAP, Salesforce and Click Field Service, and connected them to legacy systems most teams called too hard to fix.

He learned the trades from the ground up, riding along with technicians and installers and sitting with CSRs and dispatchers. That is why his pricebooks, workflows and reports work in the field and not just in IT.

How long does a ServiceTitan implementation take?
