Most contractors in 2026 are still juggling 4–7 different tools: one for leads, one for proposals, one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for payments, one for reviews, one for marketing analytics and a spreadsheet or two to try to tie it all together. (DataDrivenHQ dashboard)
The result is lost revenue (missed follow-ups), wasted time (double data entry), poor visibility (which ads actually make money?), and frustrated owners who can’t see the full picture at a glance.
DataDrivenHQ was purpose-built to end that fragmentation. It’s not a generic CRM with a few contractor features bolted on — it’s a complete, mobile-first revenue operations platform designed specifically for high-ticket, field-service home-improvement businesses (roofing, remodeling, HVAC, siding, windows, solar, pools, etc.).
