The big suites are built for 50-truck shops with a dispatcher. The lightweight tools stop at scheduling. Servato replaces the estimator, the scheduler, the invoicing tool, the SMS platform, the review app, and the client portal — with AI drafting estimates, change orders, and follow-ups from a voice memo or a photo.

AI Takeoff turns a plan set — one AI run reads up to 100 selected sheets — into a priced estimate in minutes. Voice memos, walkthrough photos, and rough notes become ready-to-send estimates, change orders, and job tasks. Smart follow-ups read open leads, overdue invoices, and job status and tell you who to call next. When something breaks, the in-app AI support agent knows the system end-to-end and fixes most issues without a ticket queue or an outsourced call center.
It's the whole field operation in one workspace — estimates, dispatch, route optimization, en-route SMS, recurring service, change orders, invoicing, review requests, and a client portal — bilingual EN/ES on every surface. Built for the Spanish-first owner growing in America, the bilingual GM keeping office and field in sync, and the small team tired of paying for six disconnected tools that still don't talk to each other.
All three Servato plans against the two archetypes most shops are choosing between. Generic categories so the picture stays true even as the market shifts.

Vs. contractor software
Every row ships in Servato today. The other columns show where the category tools lack it, limit it, or charge extra — payments built in, a client link with e-signature, and a crew app that works in Spanish and offline.

Why teams choose Servato
Servato connects sales, field work, estimates, invoices, and follow-up in one bilingual system of record — while most CRMs only digitize the paperwork you already had.
Whether you're a Spanish-first owner running a business in America or an English-speaking GM whose crews, foremen, or customers work in Spanish — Servato puts both languages on equal footing. Everyone gets the app in the language they think in: the owner reads the dashboard in English, a bilingual office manager toggles between both, the foreman gets the dispatch and punch list in Spanish on his phone, and the customer opens a PDF in whatever language they checked on the form. Same job, same record, same click. That gap between management and the truck — the missed instructions, the wrong address relayed over a noisy group text, the change order that never made it past the language barrier — is where money leaks and customers get angry. Servato closes it by default, not as a setting buried three menus deep.
Lead comes in → estimate goes out → job lands on the schedule → crew updates from the truck → invoice sends itself → payment hits Stripe → next visit auto-books. Nothing retyped, nothing lost in a group text, nothing sitting in someone's email waiting to fall through. The thread of every customer is one click away — not stitched together from four apps.
One workspace connects estimates, scheduling, reminders, and invoices so nothing falls through the cracks.

Estimates only. Your actual results depend on plan complexity, your pricebook accuracy, and how much you adjust each AI takeoff. We don't guarantee savings — but most shops recover the subscription on one mid-sized job.
Coming from a legacy tool?
Switching shouldn't be a project. Servato's importers handle the data, our team helps map your pricebook, and you can run both in parallel until you trust the move.
Export customers, leads, jobs, estimates, invoices, and your price book as CSV from your current tool — Servato has guided importers for each, with AI column mapping. No re-typing, no spreadsheets-on-spreadsheets. Most teams finish import day one.
Upload your existing labor, equipment, subcontractor, and material rate sheets. Our import maps them to Servato's pricebook so your first AI takeoff prices the way you actually price — not at generic defaults.
Use Servato alongside your old tool for one week. Send a couple estimates, dispatch a couple jobs, generate one invoice. Once you've proved it out, cancel the old subscription — most shops cut over inside 14 days.
Send the CSV or spreadsheet — customers, price book, jobs, estimates, invoices — to onboarding@servato.app from the address you sign in with. The automated concierge matches it to your workspace, stages it privately, proposes the column mapping, and replies in your language; nothing is imported until you confirm it in the importer.
Prefer email? Send the file to onboarding@servato.app from your sign-in address — the automated concierge stages it here with a proposed mapping for you to confirm, free.
The honest answers
The objections we hear most — answered straight, including the tradeoffs.
You bid the work, you run the work, and you sign the checks. You don't need a dispatcher seat or a training week — you need one system that carries a job from the first call to the deposit hitting the bank.
Maybe you're a Spanish-first owner building something real in America. Maybe your GM speaks English and your foremen don't. Either way, every estimate, work order, and customer message lives on the same record in both languages — no group chat translation, no second spreadsheet, no information lost on the way to the field.
Drop in a PDF set and Servato measures it, prices it, and writes the field notes in the language the crew reads. Less time hunched over a plan table on Sunday night, more time on the jobs that actually pay.
