An honest comparison · Materials tracking

ServiceTitan alternative for tracking materials?

ServiceTitan is the biggest name in field-service software, and for dispatch-heavy shops with office staff it's excellent — including its inventory module. But its materials tracking is built around a workflow most small subs don't run. Here's the whole picture, including the rows where ServiceTitan wins.

Two different shapes of “materials tracking”

ServiceTitan is purchase-order-first. Its inventory tools assume the system starts the transaction: you raise a PO from the pricebook, send it to the vendor, receive items against it, and stock flows through warehouses and trucks with transfers, cycle counts, and replenishment. It's genuinely powerful — and it works best when there's an office team running it, a maintained pricebook behind it, and a paid implementation (typically quoted per technician, on an annual contract, with onboarding measured in months) to set it all up.

RevnuPros is paper-first. For most electrical and trade subs, materials don't start life as a PO in software — they start at the supply-house counter, as a ticket with a job number scribbled on it. So the workflow is: photograph the receipt (or upload the 50-invoice statement PDF), and AI reads it, files it to the right job, and tracks the two questions that decide your margin — has this been paid to the supplier? and has it been billed through to the customer?Every invoice that never gets billed through is money you gave away; that's the leak this exists to stop.

If you want truck-stock counts and automated replenishment, buy ServiceTitan — seriously. If you want every supply-house ticket to land on the right job and get billed out without an office manager, that's us.
