Helping trade businesses leverage AI

We make AI work as hard as your crew does.

Your crew already knows the work. AI should make that know-how pay. No productivity promises. Proof in the numbers that run your business.

No data team to hire. No software stack to buy. Just a system that fits how your business already runs.

Results
$2M+

Net revenue

A standardized, automated bid process helped a construction company add $2M+ in net revenue.

$528k

Operational improvements

An automated system freed up 4 full-time employees to focus on higher value work, cutting operational overhead by $528k.

1000s

Documents digitized and organized

During an ownership transition, an automated system digitized, structured, and organized decades of invoices, bids, receipts, and contracts, so new operators could find what they needed and scale the business faster.

Built for the businesses that keep everything running.

What you get

Three places AI pays for itself fast.

Most trade businesses don’t have an AI problem. They have a process problem AI can fix. The fastest payback is where your money already leaks.

Win more of the right jobs

  • Estimates drafted from your past bids and your pricing, not from scratch
  • Proposals out in hours, not a week
  • Every quote gets a follow-up, automatically, until the customer says yes or no

Fill the pipeline

  • We find where your best customers are looking and make sure you’re there
  • Every inquiry answered and tracked, automatically
  • More good jobs, without hiring a salesperson

Maximize the capacity you have

  • Scheduling and dispatch that stop the Monday scramble
  • Jobs tracked from bid to invoice, in one place
  • Decades of experience, documented into systems your whole team can use
Who it’s for

Your business runs on know-how. That’s the asset.

Your best processes live in people’s heads. AI turns that know-how into a system the whole crew can follow.

How it works

Every engagement runs the same loop.

We observe how your crew works, put AI where it actually helps, check every output, and keep improving. Then run it again.

01

Observe

How your work actually gets done, written down or not. We learn it on site, with your crew, where you are.

02

Automate

AI goes in where it actually helps, and nowhere it creates headaches or upkeep you don’t need.

03

Verify

Every output is checked against your standard before it reaches a customer.

04

Improve

Bids out, win rate, revenue, customer ratings. If the numbers move, we keep going. If they don’t, we fix it.

“The right tools, workflows, and AI products, composed so you don’t have to.”

That’s the whole job. You keep the business. The system just handles the busywork, so your crew can focus on winning bids and hitting deadlines.

On site

It starts in your shop.

Automated systems work best when they’re built face to face, with your crew, in your shop.

On site first

Your shop gets walked and your crew gets heard, before anything is recommended.

Human to human

No ticket queue, no faceless portal. You talk to the people building your system.

Relationships that stick

Automation only works if your team trusts it. That’s why the work doesn’t end at install.

Proof, not promises

Proof of productivity.

Every vendor promises productivity. The proof is in the gain. The results above are what that looks like: start with a baseline, then measure the change. If a change doesn’t move the numbers, you’ll hear it straight.

Your business stays yours

Your business means everything.

It’s your livelihood, your crew’s jobs, and decades of know-how.

Never used to train models

We make sure your data is never used to train AI models. Your customer list, your pricing, your know-how: it stays yours.

Controls in place

The right controls go in before anything goes live, so your business runs faster but stays protected.

Only your people

Only the people who should have access, do.

Faster, still yours

Your business runs faster, but it’s still protected and yours.

Those details are handled. You focus on your projects and your crew.

Who’s behind Stance AI

Technical-minded leaders who understand trade businesses.

We love helping small businesses succeed. We’ve helped enterprises and small businesses adopt AI, and use it to leverage and scale their workforces.

We started with enterprises. But we found small businesses are struggling more. AI is moving fast, budgets are tight, and ownership is changing hands, leaving new operators and owners trying to create leverage in businesses with thin margins, tight deadlines, and know-how that lives in people’s heads.

That’s why we focus on trade businesses. They’re complex. They can’t be solved with just SaaS, and the right solution is unique to the industry, the ownership, and the process. That’s where the need is greatest, and where the right system makes the biggest difference. We’re realistic about what AI can do, and we’ll tell you straight if it won’t help.

Small businesses power 43.5% of GDP on just 1% of AI spend, and they aren’t going anywhere. Stance is here to help them get more leverage with AI, so they can be better, more productive, and more profitable.
