For contractors managing multi-technician field teams, that information gap compounds quickly, resulting in lost billable hours. Technicians call the office for access details, piece together asset history from scattered notes or arrive on site without the context needed to start work. Smart Tech Prepare turns ServiceTrade data into job-ready prep inside their mobile workflow, helping technicians start work faster by bringing critical job details and history together in one place. “Our research suggests contractors are leaving an estimated $5,800 in billable work per technician on the table every year—not because the work isn't there, but because technicians spend too much time searching for information before they can start,” said Brook Bock, chief product officer at ServiceTrade. “For a team of 20 technicians, that can add up to more than $100,000 in lost billable hours annually. Smart Tech Prepare gives contractors a way to recover that time and grow revenue without adding headcount.” Smart Tech Prepare draws from the contractor’s existing service records, asset details, deficiency history, comments and location context. When technicians need to go deeper, quick prompts let them drill down into specific job or asset history in seconds. The solution is designed to work within the existing controls contractors already have in place, so teams can adopt it without changing how access is managed across the business. Smart Tech Prepare also offers a multi-appointment summary that provides technicians with a full-day brief of all work before leaving the shop, so they start the day with the right context, materials and next steps. “Smart Tech Prepare has been a great ‘pregame’ for our technicians, giving them a practical breakdown of important job information that is easy to understand, matter-of-fact and shows up at the right time,” said Max Rivera, field supervisor at Done Right Hood &amp; Fire Safety. “Technicians are already juggling a lot in the field, and this helps them avoid digging for details, sorting through confusion that can cause delays, and arrive with a clearer picture of the work ahead.” Smart Tech Prepare follows the launch of <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=2pnIJgN6WJbqmlcKitoc_vhn95FEXVuA6SMmg2STZ9VZL__zZHGuwDL-Zdt8wwUncIlO8yYZKq-496ffMUryoQDC6UZPeSQxIf7keLd36IhnkedKf-cecWGknWWupSosL3MS6zmHnX7BXdY9JCQsCqDMcQiMP88brRDH7vabCFPyKEUBqvfrl68Q9Taihzh5l3VGmBoCzEZKbh9O3YAjehm5-Mpt5sfz_pLA0ZACiIjxgh_MbaFCyz9QjtrJoHz2WXwjCm5o0e9o5Y-fHPQiAZ7ktmFi9aCo9n2MWO96UWLoPsUwRkJh8H5SpaqS9DKY5BOjB83fshwMuMw4diyrtekOSRVdrco--y1wbs-zIA8=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">Stella Quote and Stella Schedule</a>, extending ServiceTrade's AI capabilities across the commercial service lifecycle.
