Quick Answer
AI Implementation That Actually Ships — Not Slide Decks — Most AI implementation fails because it's built by people who've never dispatched a crew or sent an invoice. We implement AI systems designed around how service businesses actually operate. Businesses using Ironback see 90 days full implementation across all 7 categories.
The Problem
Field service companies have unique challenges that generic AI firms don't understand: after-hours emergency dispatch, mobile crew coordination, field-to-office documentation gaps, compliance requirements, and seasonal demand swings. Implementation fails when it ignores these realities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Field service runs on emergency dispatch, mobile crews, field-to-office handoffs, and compliance documentation. Generic AI implementation misses these workflows entirely. We build around them because that's all we do.
Yes. We integrate with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, InspectPoint, BuildOps, and 30+ other platforms. We plug AI into what you already use — no rip-and-replace.
Days 1–14: Assessment and roadmap. Days 15–30: First automations deployed (usually call handling + digital forms). Days 31–60: Core systems live (estimating, scheduling, follow-ups). Days 61–90: Full operations with dashboards and reporting.
Your partner stays. They watch performance, tune automations, handle edge cases, and add new features as your business grows. This isn't a project with an end date — it's ongoing support.
