Frequently Asked Questions
Can custom software replace ServiceTitan?
It may be a good fit for the parts of your workflow that need a tailored solution. We first review dispatch, estimates, maintenance agreements, and technician workflows, along with integrations and data access. Keeping or connecting your existing system may be the better choice; a custom build is not automatically a complete product replacement.
How should we compare the cost?
Use your current quote or invoices, user counts, required add-ons, and implementation costs. Compare those with the custom build, migration, hosting, AI and messaging usage, support, and future changes over the same period. Custom software does not always cost less.
What happens to our existing data?
We review export options, permissions, API access, and data quality before agreeing a migration plan. We define what moves, test it with your team, and plan the handover. Timing and any transition downtime depend on that scope.
What do we own, and what costs continue?
Your agreement defines ownership of the custom code and data, access to the repository and hosting, and handover. Third-party software has its own licenses and terms. Hosting, API usage, maintenance, support, and later changes still need a budget.
