Trades & Construction IT

Built for businesses that don’t live behind a desk.

Construction and trade businesses have IT needs that traditional office MSPs don’t understand: technicians on job sites with intermittent connectivity, ruggedized tablets in dirty environments, and project management software that has to work in the truck and the office. Pathfinder Solutions builds IT infrastructure for these realities.

From single-truck operations to multi-trade contractors with 50+ field staff, we keep your team connected, your data secure, and your project software working — on the job site or at the office.

Field Service Software

Support for ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldEdge, BuilderTrend, CoConstruct, Procore, and other field service and construction project management platforms.

Mobile Device Management

Ruggedized tablet and phone deployment for field crews. Remote wipe for lost devices, encrypted data, and policy enforcement across iOS and Android.

Job Site Connectivity

Cellular failover routers, mobile hotspots, and temporary WiFi for remote job sites. Reliable connectivity even in areas with limited infrastructure.

Estimating & Accounting Integration

Tying together your estimating software (PlanSwift, ProEst), project management, and accounting (QuickBooks, Sage, Foundation) into a single workflow.

Backup & Disaster Recovery

Project files, blueprints, and client data backed up daily with tested recovery plans. If your office floods, burns, or gets ransomwared, you’re back online quickly.

Cybersecurity for Trades

Trades are an increasing ransomware target — project files, client lists, and payment data are all valuable. We deploy enterprise security controls scaled to your business size.

We deploy 4G/5G cellular routers, mobile hotspots, and Starlink terminals depending on the site. We can also configure temporary networking for short-duration projects with secure access for your team only.
Yes, though we recommend migrating to QuickBooks Online for trades businesses. Cloud-based accounting works much better when your team is split between truck, job site, and office. We handle the migration.
We source and deploy ruggedized tablets (Panasonic Toughbook, Samsung Active Tab, Zebra) for crews working in tough environments. We also handle phones, including pre-loading them with your dispatch and project software.
