Groundbreak Crew / Trade contractors

The operating system for the trade business.

Groundbreak Crew brings the front office, field operation, and back office into one comprehensive trade-business operating system—from lead and estimate through schedule, job, invoice, and recorded payment status.

Proof boundaryAI-native architecture is shipped with human-approved work. Field-photo journeys remain proof-needed; autonomous payment and guaranteed margin are not claimed.

Each chapter connects the operator decision to the record that stays in view.

    Coordinate schedule, team, tasks, milestones, messages, daily logs, documents, materials, purchases, expenses, time, and linked billing.

    Prepare invoices, milestone and recurring billing, statements, aging, waivers, reminders, receipts, and payment-status history.

03 / AI-native operating rail

Context in. Reviewable work out.

An assistant built into the trade workflow.

The persistent Crew assistant can read permitted records and prepare work for review across the front office, job operation, and back office.

Ask from the current record

The assistant can read and summarize

  • Jobs, schedule conflicts, and job costs
  • Estimates, bids, leads, and clients
  • Invoices and follow-up drafts
  • Connections, insights, and estimate suggestions
Route through approval

The assistant can prepare

  • Estimate, invoice, and follow-up drafts
  • Schedule additions and changes
  • Payment records, bids, and expenses
  • Tasks and daily logs

Human-directedNothing runs until the user approves it. Crew does not claim autonomous office management, scheduling, bidding, ordering, payment, or execution.

Inspect the product state

An invoice view that reads like the product.

The composition uses the actual Crew information hierarchy and fixture values, with status and money separated clearly enough to review on a phone at the end of a workday.

  • Jobs, schedule, team, tasks, logs, materials, purchases, and expenses
  • Invoices, aging, statements, waivers, balance, and payment history
  • Bids, connections, website, reports, job costing, and cost history surfaces

Not claimedAutomatic payment or collection, autonomous scheduling or bidding, guaranteed pricing, margin, or outcome, completed field-photo proof, seamless GC-to-Crew transfer, or comprehensive verified network coverage.
