Escaping the "All-in-One" Trap: The Modular Stack
"I want one piece of software that does everything."
It’s the most common request we hear. And it’s a trap. The "All-in-One" platform is a myth.
- It does Scheduling... okay.
- It does Marketing... poorly.
- It does Accounting... barely.
The "Best of Breed" Approach
The modern contractor stack is Modular. You pick the best tool for each job and glue them together.
The Stack:
- CRM: ServiceTitan (The Core)
- Proposals: Proposify (Better designs)
- Reviews: NiceJob (Better conversion)
- Phones: Dialpad (Better AI)
- The Glue: Zapier / Make / Custom APIs
Why Modular Wins
- Flexibility: If a better Review tool comes out, you swap it. You don't have to migrate your whole CRM.
- Power: You are using specialist tools, not generalist features.
- Leverage: You can build a custom workflow that your competitors (stuck in the all-in-one box) can't match.
Stop Compromising
Don't settle for "good enough" features just because they are "built-in." Build the stack that wins.
