Where STEADYWRK goes deeper
Key differentiators
Honest positioning against BuildOps — the places where STEADYWRK is a clear fit and the places where it is not.
Reactive dispatch, not project management
BuildOps is excellent at long-cycle commercial projects. STEADYWRK is purpose-built for the reactive "open, dispatch, close" work-order loop where speed of routing is the KPI.
Self-serve instead of implementation project
BuildOps rollouts run as implementation projects. STEADYWRK is self-serve onboarding — import a CSV and dispatch the same day.
Consumption pricing
BuildOps uses enterprise contracts. STEADYWRK uses per-dispatch pricing that scales down in quiet months and up in busy months.
STEADYWRK vs BuildOps — FAQs
Is STEADYWRK a replacement for BuildOps?
For teams whose primary need is fast reactive dispatch, yes. Teams that rely heavily on commercial project management, WIP accounting, and long-cycle job costing may need to keep BuildOps or a similar ERP for that workflow.
Can STEADYWRK handle commercial FM work orders?
Yes. STEADYWRK is built for FM contractor networks and integrates with enterprise FM platforms via webhooks to receive, dispatch, and close work orders end to end.
How long does STEADYWRK take to roll out?
Most teams are live the same day. There is no implementation project and no professional-services engagement required for standard onboarding.
Does STEADYWRK integrate with Sage or commercial ERPs?
STEADYWRK exposes an open API and webhooks, so ERPs like Sage can be integrated as part of a standard data-sync workflow.
