Field support without the wait

A senior-level second set of eyes in every truck.

New technicians and veterans can call, text, or video with TradePond support when a job gets complicated—so fewer hours disappear into hold music, manuals, callbacks, or guesswork.

Troubleshooting: compressors that will not start, capacitor testing, contactors, transformers, controls, wiring, and airflow.

System guidance: expected pressures based on equipment, refrigerant, operating mode, load, and ambient conditions.

Process coaching: nitrogen flow, brazing, evacuation, charging, recovery, and A2L-safe service procedures.

Built for the real field: capture photos, video, readings, and job context without starting the explanation over.

Build your training rhythm

From chaos to command

One shared context.
Four simple steps.

Connect

Bring in the systems, documents, pricebooks, policies, calls, messages, and workflows your company already uses.

Teach

TradePond learns your brand, service area, standards, approval rules, pricing strategy, and preferred customer experience.

Coordinate

Ella routes work to the right specialist and keeps every interaction tied to the customer, job, employee, or goal.

Improve

Leadership sees what is working, what is falling through, and what the team should do next—without another spreadsheet.

Migration & Integration Hub

Keep the tools that work.
Move when you are ready.

TradePond is being designed around one contractor data model, with direct API connections where a platform allows them and guided CSV, spreadsheet, and ZIP imports where it does not. That makes ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and other major trade systems easier to connect, compare, and eventually replace without a reckless overnight cutover.

↔️

Direct API sync

Secure connections, webhooks, external IDs, retries, and clear field ownership keep supported records synchronized without duplicate entry.

📦

Guided migration

Import customers, locations, equipment, jobs, pricebooks, memberships, attachments, and bulk photos with saved mappings, dry runs, duplicate checks, and a review queue.

🛟

Safe parallel testing

Start read-only, approve important writes, and run TradePond beside the current CRM until records reconcile and every critical workflow passes.

Contractor-built, contractor-tested

Born inside a real service company—not a software boardroom.

TradePond is being shaped inside Delightful Duck Cooling & Heating in Ventura, California. Every workflow starts with a real question: does this help the office answer faster, the technician solve better, the customer feel cared for, or the owner run a stronger business?

“The goal is simple: give a new technician or a senior technician the same immediate access to the right answer, while giving the company one dependable operating system.”

Questions from the pond

What TradePond is—and what it is not.

Is TradePond another CRM?

No. TradePond is designed as an AI operating layer for field-service companies. It can work with existing CRMs while coordinating the work that falls between customer communications, field support, marketing, training, people operations, and leadership.

Can Ella replace experienced judgment?

No—and that is not the goal. Ella helps people reach the right information faster, follow consistent processes, document decisions, and escalate risk. Safety-critical and high-consequence decisions remain controlled by trained people.

Will technicians be able to call, text, or video for help?

That is a core product direction. The intended experience combines job context, equipment information, readings, photos, and live communication so support can move quickly without repeating the whole story.

Does it include HR, safety, compliance, and training?

Yes. Those functions are part of the same coordinated team, including onboarding, policies, safety workflows, compliance reminders, the Daily Five training rhythm, A2L updates, and practical HVAC/R learning.

Can we transfer our existing Housecall Pro pricebook and photos?

That is a core migration requirement. TradePond will accept an HCP-style catalog export plus a bulk image folder or ZIP, match images by source item ID first, then SKU and normalized item name, flag uncertain matches for review, prevent duplicate imports, and preserve a clean export path.

Can we connect ServiceTitan, Jobber, or another trade CRM?

That is the plan. TradePond will use direct APIs and webhooks when the provider and account allow them, with guided exports and imports as the fallback. The rollout starts read-only, adds approval-gated writes, and keeps the existing system in place until data and workflows reconcile.

Who is TradePond for?

Residential and light-commercial service contractors who want enterprise-level coordination without enterprise complexity—starting with HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, electrical, and adjacent home-service trades.
