The challenge

MSI Mechanical Systems, a $10M+ commercial mechanical service contractor founded in 1995, had run on paper for nearly 30 years. Leadership evaluated many solutions but found most too large, too construction-focused, or not built for the service side of the business.

The solution

MSI adopted ServiceTrade to digitize service delivery and billing, running paper and digital in parallel for six months before fully transitioning to the platform.

Change is hard. But if you want to improve and compete, you have to embrace it. ServiceTrade helped us make that leap.
