What does ServiceTrade do?
Founded in 2012, ServiceTrade is the software platform for commercial mechanical and fire contractors.

Over 10% of the commercial or industrial buildings in the United States are serviced by contractors using ServiceTrade to manage 13 million equipment assets and invoice more than $7.5 billion of service-related commerce.
Ok, so why should I care about that?
Our customers are smart, hard-working people who we enjoy serving. We help them grow their business to earn more revenue, employ more blue-collar workers, and become more valuable to their customers. It’s why we get excited about serving a market that you might never have thought about before.
What kind of working environment do you have?
We’ve transitioned from a start-up to a scale-up -- that means we still have the spirit and energy of a start-up and are adding new people who will help us expand our business faster and run our business smarter. We have big ambitions and every employee understands our goals and what their role is in achieving them. Read about our company culture on our About Us page.
