You’ve heard all about the promise of AI: the hours saved, the money saved, and the accelerated efficiency. You may suspect that some of your competitors have adopted it, or are about to. 

But you still hesitate, for one reason.

There’s only one thing worse than running behind. 

You’re already swamped. And you worry: as wonderful as AI is supposed to be, will it disrupt the way I do business? Will my staff have to spend hours learning new procedures? Wouldn’t the cure be worse than the disease? 

Those are fair questions—and there’s good reason for you to ask them.

You’ve already had to bend your business around your software.

All too often, software for the skilled trades has been a “take-it-or-leave-it” proposition. You have to bend and twist your procedures to accommodate the software—in essence, building your business around it, instead of doing business the way you want to. 

That’s a trap you can avoid, however, with the right platform. Here’s what to consider if you’re looking for an AI platform. 

Watch out for software conflicts.

Most companies run ServiceTitan, Jobber, or House Call Pro, because they’re designed for the skilled trades. But you’re probably also running programs like Microsoft Office 365, with Word, Power Point, and particularly Excel. Before choosing any AI platform, find out if it will play nicely with programs like these, or any others that are critical to your way of doing business.

The perfect match.

The Graphite Lab’s AI-powered tools mesh perfectly with your existing systems. They’ll integrate seamlessly with ServiceTitan, Jobber, House Call Pro, and any other software you’re using. And there’s a reason for that.

Our founder, Jacob Nolley, came from an HVAC company. He began by writing code to help ServiceTitan run better and do more. Drawing on that experience, he created The Graphite Lab, which now serves nearly 200 businesses across the U.S. and Canada. 

The Graphite Lab platform:

• has cut payroll task time by 50%

• has lifted vendor bill productivity by 70%

• has used tech-tracking software to reduce call volume by 12%, and costly cancellations by 5%.

We can also manage your online reviews, generate instant transcripts to help you coach your phone reps, track techs in the field, and much, much more. 

Best of all, you don’t have to bend over backwards to implement our automations. That’s just how we roll at The Graphite Lab.
