Our view.
Your business is built on your customers' trust. We think you should run it, not AI.
Optracs has no built-in AI features, and there is no AI add-on to buy. It reminds you when a sale has sat on a step too long. You make the call.
Our view.
Why we built Optracs this way.
We publish 1 price and keep it the same at any headcount, so you know the bill before you talk to anyone. Every trade gets its own steps and checklists, so a plumber and a roofer both start with their own work, not someone else's. We ask for payment at sign-up and give all of it back within 30 days if Optracs isn't for you.
