We don't consult and leave. We embed a dedicated partner backed by a team inside your operation — they build, run, and own your AI systems.
Quick Answer
The Dedicated AI Operations Partner Who Actually Stays — We don't consult and leave. We embed a dedicated partner backed by a team inside your operation — they build, run, and own your AI systems. Businesses using Ironback see $95K+ average annual waste identified per company.
The Problem
Most AI consultants hand you a report and disappear. Most SaaS tools give you a login and wish you luck. Neither works for a 35-person fire sprinkler company that needs someone to actually build and run the systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your partner works remotely but is dedicated to your company. They attend your team meetings, have access to your systems, and operate as if they're on your payroll — without the $150K salary.
A consultant advises. We build. A consultant leaves after the project. We stay. A consultant bills by the hour with no guarantee. We commit to a 3-month minimum and stay month-to-month after — if we’re not earning our keep, you walk.
We work with specialty trade contractors running $1M–$20M in revenue with 5–50 employees and existing office infrastructure. If you have a dispatcher, an office manager, and field crews — you're the right fit.
Call handling (after-hours, dispatch), estimating and quoting (photo-to-estimate, AI takeoffs), documentation and compliance (digital forms, OSHA/EPA/NFPA), follow-up and retention (quote automation, reviews), scheduling and dispatch (crew scheduling, route optimization), reporting and intelligence (dashboards, KPI briefings), and inventory and parts (automated reorders, tracking).
