STEADYWRK vs ServiceTrade — FAQs
Is STEADYWRK a direct ServiceTrade replacement?
For teams whose primary need is reactive dispatch and contractor payouts, yes. Teams that rely heavily on inspection reporting and compliance workflows may keep ServiceTrade for those pieces.
Does STEADYWRK support inspection workflows?
STEADYWRK supports inspection dispatches as work orders but is not a compliance-reporting platform. Teams that need compliance reporting typically integrate a dedicated tool via API.
Can I integrate STEADYWRK with a commercial ERP?
Yes. STEADYWRK exposes an open API and webhooks for ERP and accounting sync.
How fast can a commercial team go live?
Same-day for the dispatch loop. Custom integrations with ERPs or compliance tooling can be added on top once the core dispatch loop is running.
