About ServiceTitan
ServiceTitan is the leading software platform for the trades—helping contractors run, grow, and scale their businesses. With fast growth and a sophisticated sales motion, the team needed a reliable way to automate the handoffs between marketing, sales, solutions engineering, and onboarding.
The challenge
Despite a strong tech stack, ServiceTitans’s high-intent prospects were getting stuck in the seams:
- Lead leakage and slow routing. Inbound leads from forms, partners, and events required manual triage across multiple queues.
- Demo scheduling friction. Reps lost momentum context-switching between CRM, calendars, and email.
- Quote follow-up gaps. Reps created quotes across tools; reminders and approvals varied by product line.
- Onboarding handoff pain. Once closed-won, provisioning and kickoff tasks were inconsistent.
The team wanted automation they could own—without waiting on scarce engineering time.
Why Workload
- 1,500+ connectors and HTTP/Webhook steps for internal APIs
- Visual flows the go-to-market team can build and maintain
- Data awareness (lookups, branching, mapping) to drive personalized sales motions
- Enterprise controls: roles, audit logs, environment separation, secrets management
Solution overview
ServiceTitan rolled out Workload in three waves:
Wave 1: Lead capture to qualified meeting
- Ingest leads from ServiceTitan and partner portals.
- Create & update (estimates, invoices) with PEP Cloud via HTTP step.
- Auto-route in ServiceTitan based on business unit and territory.
- Instant scheduling: generate appointment links and email via Gmail.
Wave 2: Quote automation & follow-up
- When an opportunity hits Stage = Proposal, Workload assembles the ServiceTitan project with the right product annexes like PEP.
- When the PEP painting project is set up and quoted, it automatically updates the estimate in ServiceTitan
- Manager escalations trigger on high-value deals with no activity.
Wave 3: Closed-won to onboarding
- On Closed-Won, Workload provisions ServiceTitan via API, spins up the new estimate and invoice.
- Customer metadata lands in ServiceTitan for reporting.
How it works (sample flow)
- Trigger: New ServiceTitan job submission (or Salesforce Lead).
- Enrich: HTTP request to ServiceTitan → map to CRM fields.
- Route: Branch by segment/territory → assign owner in ServiceTitan.
- Schedule: Generate PEP Cloud painting project; send estimate back to ServiceTitan.
- Track: Write activity back to ServiceTitan
Results
Replace with customer-approved metrics before publishing.
- +87% win rate on opportunities that touched automated sequences
- – 58% time to close from first meeting to signed DocuSign
- 4 hours/week saved per rep (no more copy/paste, manual reminders, or swivel-chair admin)
- 15 processes automated across sales and onboarding in 90 days
Change management & governance
- Owner model: RevOps builds and maintains workflows; sales leaders define business rules.
- Versioning: Changes tested in a sandbox environment before production.
- Observability: Step-level logs and retries; alerts flow to the #revops-automation Slack channel.
- Security: OAuth where possible, per-workspace secrets, and least-privilege connections.
Lessons learned
- Start with the slowest handoffs—routing, scheduling, and follow-ups produce fast ROI.
- Use data branches to personalize pacing (segment, product line, deal size).
- Instrument everything; visibility makes automation trustworthy.
What’s next
ServiceTitan plans to expand Workload to channel partner deal registration, renewal playbooks, and customer upsell signals streaming from product usage events.
