TROVA is built by people who have actually run trades businesses — not by AI engineers who think the trades are an enterprise-software vertical.
Every owner of a $1M – $25M trades shop has watched the same thing happen: a great technician on the truck, a bottom-half technician on the truck the next day, and the difference in close rate between them is the difference between scaling and stalling.
Ride-alongs help. But you can't be in two trucks at once. And the apprenticeship pipeline is collapsing — 20 openings for every new worker entering the trades, and the senior plumbers and HVAC techs who carry your shop are retiring by 2030.
Generic AI-coaching tools don't fix this. They score calls after they're over. They don't understand the difference between a plumbing call and an HVAC call. They don't know that bringing up financing in the right moment is worth an 11-point close-rate lift. They don't ride along.
TROVA does.
The wearable AI device + AI coaching app + owner dashboard that — combined — does what your best technician does in their head, on every call, for every technician on your team:
TROVA is live with Major League Plumbing (Mira Loma, CA) and Anchor Plumbing & Drain — two operators who care more about closing the doorstep deal than about looking sophisticated.
We're onboarding HVAC, electrical, roofing and restoration pilots in 2026.

We're talking to trades-shop owners every week — to learn from them, to onboard them, to scope what version 2 looks like.
