Why we built HudsonWorks
There are a hundred CRMs. There are zero that fit a six-person solar install crew, a plumbing dispatch board, and a roofing storm-chase team — at the same time.
Most field-service software is built for one of three customers: a giant fleet that wants ServiceTitan, a solo handyman who'll tolerate a generic CRM, or a software company who'll build it themselves.
Trade businesses in the 5-50 employee range are stuck. They outgrow QuickBooks + spreadsheets but can't justify the per-seat cost of enterprise tools, and they can't afford the time to be product managers for their own software.
HudsonWorks is for that middle. One operating system, one monthly price, no per-seat upsell. We started with three trades — solar, plumbing, roofing — because the workflows are different enough that a single generic CRM doesn't fit, but similar enough that one well-designed model can serve all three.
If you're running a trade business and tired of choosing between paying enterprise prices or rolling your own, we built this for you.
