ServiceTrade
ServiceTrade is a commercial mechanical, electrical, and fire-protection FSM platform built around inspection compliance reporting and asset histories.
ServiceTrade overview
ServiceTrade is a commercial field service platform with deep functionality for fire protection, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contractors operating at multi-site commercial accounts. Founded in 2012 in Durham, North Carolina, the platform is built around inspection workflows: NFPA 25 sprinkler system documentation, NFPA 72 fire alarm testing reports, NFPA 80 fire door inspections, and the asset-level service histories that commercial customers require for compliance reporting. The product is not aimed at residential operators.
Pricing
ServiceTrade does not publish list pricing. Industry reports place typical implementations in the $250–$400 per user per month range, with multi-quarter implementations for mid-market contractors. The platform is sold primarily into commercial trade contractors above $5M in revenue.
When to consider ServiceTrade
ServiceTrade is the defensible choice for commercial mechanical, electrical, and fire-protection contractors with inspection-heavy contracts at multi-site commercial customers. The platform’s compliance reporting is the strongest differentiator versus BuildOps or ServiceTitan’s commercial module. For commercial trade contractors without significant inspection volumes, BuildOps is the closer alternative. For residential or mixed-residential operators, ServiceTitan or FieldEdge are more appropriate.
