Custom AI systems for trade businesses.
We build automations and AI agents that organize incoming bids, get quotes out faster, follow up on every open estimate and keep the paperwork moving, so the busywork comes off your team's plate.
What your competitors are getting wrong in the office. Four places the work backs up, and how our systems fix each one.
How much doing it like everyone else is costing you.
Up to ten quick taps about how your office runs, and one yearly figure built only from your answers. No email needed.

Co-founder and COO
We're Jake and Hunter Field, brothers and co-founders. We believe trade businesses are the backbone of the US economy. The work they put out is first-rate; the systems running their offices often aren't. We started Blue Collar Companion to close that gap, so the shops doing the real work are the ones that win in the AI era.
You talk to the people who build it.
Two founders, no account managers.
We start with your numbers, not a pitch.
The diagnosis and the walkthrough come first.
Fixed price, in writing, before anything starts.

Things we hear on the first call.
“Our estimators are too busy bidding to sort out what's worth bidding.”
That's the sorting we take off them. Every invite gets checked against the jobs you want to win, and your estimator gets a short list to say yes or no. The call stays theirs.
“We hired an AI guy last year. It was a nightmare.”
We hear this a lot, and it usually means the tool got sold before anyone asked how the business runs. Nothing here starts with a pitch. The first call is free: where the biggest problems in your business are, where you want it to end up, and the fastest way our systems get you there. Then you get a fixed price in writing before anything starts.
Book your free 30-minute call. We'll look at where the time and money go, and what to fix first.
