Built inside a working service company

Service work,
without the handoffs.

Run recurring service contracts from the first customer request through quote, subscription billing, scheduled delivery, reporting, and renewal—without rebuilding the same information in five systems.

1 contract

Quote to renewal

4 cadences

Priced per period

1 record

Service to payment

Cadence-aware

Customers see what they pay each visit—not a surprise annual number.

One operating record

Built around the work, not the software menu.

Every feature connects to the same customer, property, scope, cost, and service history. That means fewer handoffs and a cleaner financial trail.

01

Contract subscriptions

Package recurring services as monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual subscriptions, with clear per-period pricing, renewal dates, and contract value.

02

Quote-to-contract

Turn an approved proposal into a live service agreement without re-entering the customer, location, scope, equipment, cadence, or billing terms.

03

Inspection to resolution

Capture inspections, deficiencies, photos, corrective work, approvals, and invoices in one connected record for every property.

04

Customer-ready billing

Offer direct quote approvals, installment-aware invoices, Stripe payments, autopay, and a customer portal without sending spreadsheets back and forth.

05

Dispatch and field work

Coordinate schedules, work orders, technician assignments, service history, timecards, and job documentation from the same operating system.

06

Service accountability

Keep customer commitments, recurring visits, assigned teams, reports, exceptions, renewals, and payment status visible in one operating record.

Per-client compliance

Give every customer a living record of what applies and what happens next.

Each client gets a secure workspace connected to their actual portfolio—not a generic dashboard or a report that goes stale. Buildings, restaurants, agency records, recurring obligations, service evidence, documents, and open actions stay joined to the same canonical customer record.

  • Portfolio rollup: see every managed location, then drill into the exact address and operating entity.
  • Source-backed status: distinguish what an agency record says, what Empire has verified, and what still needs attention.
  • Work and evidence: connect requirements to inspections, permits, reports, deficiencies, quotes, service, and resolution.
  • Continuous service: update the client view as records change, visits complete, documents expire, and renewals approach.

Connected by default

The contract should move the other systems.

Approval, payment, a phone call, or an email should update the operating record automatically. Provider webhooks and OAuth connections carry the event; canonical customer, site, contract, and financial IDs keep every system aligned.

Live

Stripe

Payments, saved methods, autopay, refunds, and webhook reconciliation.

Setup required

Zoho Books

Invoice and payment sync is implemented; the Zoho account must enable Sales Tax before taxed invoices can post.

Setup required

Twilio

Calls and messages become structured intake after the production number, auth token, and webhook are connected.

Connector roadmap

Gmail

Customer requests and attachments flow into the correct account and operations queue.

Connector roadmap

Plaid

Secure bank-account connection and verification for ACH and financial workflows.

Connector roadmap

CRM

Bidirectional account, contact, opportunity, contract, and activity synchronization.

Connect once

Authorize the company account and map the canonical IDs—no per-job setup.

Sync from events

Webhooks and queued jobs move payments, messages, contacts, and status changes automatically.

Recover safely

Idempotency, audit logs, connection health, and replayable failures prevent silent data loss.

From opportunity to renewal

A contract workflow built for recurring revenue.

  1. 01

    Capture the opportunity

    Start from an email, phone call, web form, site survey, or existing customer. The account, location, equipment, requested scope, and conversation history stay connected.

  2. 02

    Price the subscription

    Build monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual service plans with a clear payment each period, contract value, start date, and renewal terms.

  3. 03

    Approve once

    The customer reviews a branded proposal, selects the billing plan, approves electronically, and enters payment details without a separate paperwork loop.

  4. 04

    Deliver and renew

    Approval activates the contract, recurring schedule, invoices, customer reminders, service history, and renewal workflow from the same record.

Customer request → active contract

Capture it once. Carry it through the contract.

Customer information should not be copied from an inbox into a CRM, then into a quote, schedule, invoice, and renewal spreadsheet. One intake record becomes the connected commercial and service workflow.

01

Request captured

Email, call, form, or field request enters one accountable intake queue.

02

Customer resolved

The account, location, contact, equipment, and prior service history are matched.

03

Plan configured

Scope, visit cadence, per-period price, start date, tax, and renewal terms are defined.

04

Customer approves

A branded proposal presents the subscription clearly and records approval and payment choice.

05

Contract activates

Recurring work, invoices, reminders, reporting, and renewal dates are created from the agreement.

Why this matters

The contract becomes the operating plan.

  • Customers see the amount due each billing period clearly.
  • Cadence is modeled, not buried in description text.
  • Scope, tax, contacts, billing, and renewal terms use explicit rules.
  • Every completed visit rolls up to contract health and renewal readiness.

AI-assisted calling & messaging

Every conversation becomes accountable intake.

The phone layer is intake-first. Calls and messages are identified, summarized, matched to an account and address when possible, and routed to the right queue. When confidence is low, the work still lands safely for review instead of disappearing.

Direction, not a black-box promise

The current foundation supports provider webhooks and model-assisted extraction. The architecture is moving toward consent-aware transcription, structured call outcomes, follow-up actions, and agent-assisted outbound workflows—with people retaining control of commitments and approvals.

Operations board

The Kanban is a view of state—not another database.

Requests, field work, deficiencies, customer deliverables, and financial exceptions each keep their own controlled status. The board makes handoffs visible without flattening them into one vague “job” record.

Opinionated architecture

One canonical spine. Five durable workspaces.

The system is organized around the questions operators actually ask. Automation may enrich or propose the next move, but it cannot invent identities, bypass approvals, or silently rewrite financial and compliance history.

01

Accounts

Who and where?

Customer, contact, building, restaurant, equipment, contract

02

Intake

What came in?

Email, phone, portal request, sales opportunity, field finding

03

Operations

What must happen?

Dispatch, assessment, inspection, recurring service, corrective work

04

Deliverables

What does the customer receive?

Proposal, approval, work order, report, invoice, proof

05

Financials

Did the money reconcile?

Subscription invoice, customer payment, renewal, audit trail

Canonical identity

Accounts, people, sites, equipment, and source evidence are resolved once and reused downstream.

Explicit transitions

Quote approval, invoice state, compliance decisions, and payments move through allowlisted, audited actions.

AI inside guardrails

Agents read canonical context and draft actions; permissions, validation, human review, and the ledger control what becomes real.

Built for recurring service

The platform knows the difference between annual contract value, the amount due this service period, completed visits, upcoming obligations, and renewal health.

How the category divides

Choose the operating model, not the longest feature list.

These products are strong at different jobs. Empire is not claiming to out-feature four mature platforms; it is designed around a specific commercial-service chain that generic suites often leave to integrations, spreadsheets, or operator memory.

ServiceTrade

Commercial service operations

Official site ↗

Where it is strong

Dispatch, equipment history, customer portal, recurring proposals, and field service workflows across packaged suites.

Empire difference

Empire centers the complete recurring-contract lifecycle: customer intake, per-period subscription pricing, service delivery, compliance evidence, invoicing, and renewal.

ServiceTitan

Large trades and home-service organizations

Official site ↗

Where it is strong

Broad scheduling, dispatch, pricebook, mobile estimates, invoicing, reporting, and optional AI field intelligence.

Empire difference

Empire is narrower and workflow-specific: less enterprise breadth, more focus on commercial contracts, recurring service accountability, property compliance, and canonical handoffs.

Jobber

Small and growing home-service teams

Official site ↗

Where it is strong

Approachable quoting, scheduling, work orders, invoicing, payments, client communication, and online booking.

Empire difference

Empire is designed for commercial recurring service where the customer, site, equipment, contract cadence, service history, compliance record, and invoice must stay connected.

FieldLogix

Fleet visibility and mobile workforce control

Official site ↗

Where it is strong

GPS fleet telematics, routing, dispatching, ETA alerts, proof of service, driver safety, and mobile timekeeping.

Empire difference

FieldLogix is fleet-first. Empire is the commercial operating and financial layer—from intake and compliance through quote, fulfillment, billing, and reconciliation.

Choose Empire when

Recurring contracts, compliance, service cadence, customer communication, and billing must stay in one traceable chain.

Choose a broad FSM when

You primarily need a proven packaged suite for dispatch, field mobility, pricebooks, marketing, or high-volume home-service operations.

Use them together when

Fleet telematics or an incumbent field system should remain the execution layer while Empire owns contracts, customer experience, compliance, and reconciliation.
