How It Works

Every conversation on every job site. Captured. Structured. Turned into revenue.

Clip the device on. Talk. Trova does the rest. Here's exactly what happens — for service techs and estimators.

Two Modes, One Device

Trova works differently for service techs and estimators.

Same hardware, same one-button UI, different AI output. Service Tech Mode runs all day on every call. Estimator Mode kicks in when a tech is pricing a new job.

Featured

Service Tech Mode

For every call, every day. Captures upsells, warranty talks, customer requests, coaching moments, and compliance documentation. If your tech is on a job site, this is running.

Also included

Estimator Mode

For sales appointments. Captures scope, budget, objections, timeline. Generates Good/Better/Best proposal before the tech leaves the driveway. One of six workflows Trova handles.

Service Tech Mode

Every service call is a chance to generate revenue.

A tech runs 8 calls a day. Trova captures what happens on every one — automatically.

01

Tech clips it on. Hits the button.

Every morning, every tech puts on their Trova. 50 grams of aluminum alloy on their shirt or lanyard. One button controls it — green LED means it's capturing. No apps to fumble with. No setup between calls.

02

Tech does the job. Talks to the customer.

Normal service call. Tech fixes the water heater. Customer walks them to the furnace. Mentions the AC is making noise. Asks about the bathroom remodel. Tech documents the warranty talk. Trova captures every word.

03

AI structures the call in seconds.

Trova doesn't just transcribe. It pulls out what matters from a service call — upsells, warranty risk, follow-ups, coaching signals.

04

Dashboard updates. Office notified. Opportunities tracked.

Between the driveway and the next job, the fleet dashboard is already updated. By the end of the day, the owner sees every upsell, every warranty talk, every forgotten request across all 5 techs.

Upsell opportunities flagged in the fleet dashboard
Customer follow-up requests added to the work order
Warranty discussion archived with timestamp
Best-rep moments added to the training library
05

Upsells get contacted. Revenue shows up.

The office reaches out to the upsell opportunities. Proposals go out. Jobs close. That's revenue your techs were leaving on the floor yesterday — now it's in your pipeline.

Follow-up happens while the customer is still thinking about it
Commission-based techs see flagged leads — bigger checks
1 extra close per tech per week compounds fast across a fleet
5 techs × 1 extra close/week × $1,500 avg = $7,500/week. That's not a new marketing channel. That's closing what's already happening in front of you.
Estimator Mode

Sales calls to proposals in 15 seconds.

When a tech is on a sales appointment, Trova's estimator flow kicks in — captures the scope, builds the estimate, sends the proposal before the tech leaves the driveway.

01

Walk the property. Have the conversation.

Measurements, materials, timeline, budget, preferences. The tech talks like they always do. Trova listens.
