We don't build AI for tech companies. We embed AI operations specialists inside service businesses — automating calls, estimating, scheduling, compliance, and everything between the phone and the invoice.
Quick Answer
The AI Operations Company Built for Service Businesses — We don't build AI for tech companies. We embed AI operations specialists inside service businesses — automating calls, estimating, scheduling, compliance, and everything between the phone and the invoice. Businesses using Ironback see $95K+ average operational waste per service business.
The Problem
Service businesses lose $50K–$150K per year to operational waste. Missed calls after hours, slow estimates, paper-based compliance docs, manual scheduling, and zero follow-up on open quotes. The problem isn't that AI can't fix it — it's that nobody builds AI for how service businesses actually operate.
