Specialty Trade Operations
Specialty contractors lose a third of their day to admin — chasing pay apps, wrestling compliance, writing change orders. STrOp handles the business machinery so your team can focus on what they actually do: excellent work, delivered on time.
GCs have Procore. Owners have Autodesk. Specialty subs? Spreadsheets, paper, and prayer.
Gone to admin work that doesn't swing a hammer or pull a wire.
Missed change orders, late pay apps, and underbilled T&M add up fast.
DIR, CSLB, certified payroll, prevailing wage — one mistake costs thousands.
From the first bid to final closeout, STrOp manages the work behind the work.
CRM, estimating, and proposals that don't live in your inbox.
Timecards, daily reports, T&M tracking — captured in the field, not reconstructed at a desk.
Pay apps, change orders, and billing generated from real project data. No re-keying.
California compliance automation — certified payroll, prevailing wage, DIR reporting built in.
An assistant that reads your project documents — contracts, specs, submittals — and answers with the page it found it on. That's live today. Your SOPs, drafting a change order, checking a pay app against the record: that's what it grows into. Nothing you upload trains anyone's model.
The ones we hear on every call. If yours isn't here, ask: hello@stropapp.com.
California specialty subs, roughly $3M–$75M a year — carpentry, interior systems, flooring, millwrights, electrical, mechanical. Shops that live under a GC, carry the labor risk, and know exactly what retention does to cash flow. If that's you, you're who we build for.
No. Procore is the GC's system — what you get from it is a portal login and a list of what they need by Thursday. STrOp is your side of the table: your estimate, your SOV, your T&M, your pay apps, your certified payroll. One record that's yours, whatever portal the GC runs.
That's the flagship. DIR-ready eCPR XML and Skilled & Trained Workforce reporting, generated from the timecards your crews already turn in — live now for California public work.
Companies, contacts, projects, and cost history. Migration is part of onboarding — we map your data with you, spreadsheets included, so your history lands in one record instead of a drawer of exports. You don't re-key your own past.
Three plans at commercial launch: Field at $299/mo, Operations at $699/mo, Command from $1,499/mo. Early access works differently — we set terms with each founding shop directly, and you'll know them before you commit to anything.
Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS), isolated per company at the database row, in US data centers. No SOC 2 yet — we publish our controls and our gaps instead, and we'll certify when a customer's diligence needs it. And it's your data — not ours: full export and real deletion, self-serve.
Security
AES-256 at rest. TLS 1.3 in transit. Row-level isolation per company. SOC 2 in progress.

STrOp is opening early access to a small group of California specialty contractors. If you're tired of tools built by people who've never set foot on a jobsite, we'd like to talk.
