If your crews are spread across job sites the way Thrasher’s are, it’s worth asking whether general EOS software can hold that kind of structure together, or whether you need something built for it.
The best EOS software for a construction or trades company gives field crews and the office the same real-time view of Rocks and Scorecards across every job site, a Level 10 meeting structure that works when the team is spread across locations, and integrations with the project and communication tools contractors already use.
EOS software vs. construction management software Search for EOS software and construction in the same sentence, and you’ll run into confusing results fast 🤯. Several unrelated products use “Eos” as a brand name for cost tracking or scheduling on a job site — Eos Cortex and Eos Navigator among them. None of those has anything to do with the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, the framework Gino Wickman outlined in Traction
EOS software in this context means something different: a system for running your whole organization, from home office to job sites. Rocks set your 90-day priorities. A weekly Level 10 meeting keeps issues from piling up before they become bigger problems. A Scorecard tracks the handful of numbers that predict whether your quarter goes well. That layer runs the business behind your projects — and in Strety’s case, it connects directly to Procore and similar job-site tools .
If you run a construction or trades business, you rarely operate from one room all the time. Your crews are on different job sites, and your project managers split time between the office and the field. Your leadership team’s weekly meeting is often the only point where everyone’s in the same place — even when that place is a video call.
Thrasher runs into that exact gap at scale: foundation repair, waterproofing, and concrete leveling crews spread across 10 locations, with the same L10 structure running at every one. Francesca Peterson and Angela Salts, who’ve led Thrasher’s EOS rollout since 2018, put it simply:
“A regional manager in one city can speak with another because they have L10s, but they’re also tracking things the same way and doing things the same way. It just makes a cohesive balance despite the fact that we aren’t all operating out of one building anymore.”
Labor and execution both make the case sharper. McKinsey found that U.S. construction job vacancies nearly doubled between 2017 and 2023, from about 200,000 to 380,000 — and 98% of megaprojects run at least 30% over budget , by the same firm’s count. With fewer people to spare and less room for error, a leadership team needs a structure that holds across every project, whether they’re on-site or not.
What a Level 10 meeting looks like for a contracting business A Level 10 meeting runs 90 minutes, same agenda every week: a scorecard review, Rock updates, and time set aside to solve the one or two issues that matter most. For your contracting business, that structure does something specific — it gives your field-facing leaders a fixed weekly point to surface a problem before it becomes a change order or a missed deadline.
If your business runs across multiple sites, that meeting usually moves to video, with whoever’s on-site that week dialing in from a truck or a trailer. The same six numbers get reviewed every week, whether your leadership team is in one office or spread across three counties — that consistency matters more than where anyone happens to be sitting.
Is it worth it for a small or mid-size trades business EOS was built for companies roughly in the 10-to-250-employee range, and if your construction or trades business sits in that window, you’re in good company — big enough that word-of-mouth and tribal knowledge stop being enough, small enough that a full-time operations hire isn’t yet justified.
At that size, the cost question usually comes down to what a missed Rock or an unaddressed Issue costs you over a quarter — a delayed project, a safety issue that resurfaces, a good foreman who leaves because nobody heard the same complaint three times. Measured against that, most EOS software runs a modest per-user monthly cost — cheap enough that your real barrier is usually just adoption.
Where Strety fits Strety is where it all comes together. Your leadership team runs its Rocks and reviews its Scorecard while Teams or Slack messages from the field flow into that same system. The Power Ups — Projects, Performance, and Engagement — carry that same accountability all the way out to the people doing the work.
At about $13 per user a month, it’s a small price against what one missed Rock costs you over a quarter. Try it free for 30 days , no card required, and see what it’s like to have your whole team — office and job site — working off the same page.
FAQ Why do construction and trades companies choose Strety? Strety connects to the tools contractors already run day to day — Procore, ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, Microsoft Teams — so the leadership team’s Rocks and Scorecard live next to the work itself instead of in a separate system nobody opens.
Does Strety work alongside construction management software like Procore? Yes — Strety integrates directly with Procore , so project data doesn’t have to be re-entered by hand. Strety runs the leadership team’s meetings and accountability; Procore keeps running the job site itself.
How does Strety handle a business with crews at multiple job sites? Thrasher Foundation Repair runs the same Level 10 structure across all 10 of its locations in Strety, so a regional manager in one city tracks things the same way as one three states over.
Can field crews use Strety, or is it just for the leadership team? Strety’s observer license lets front-line crews join meetings and get summaries without a full seat, at no extra cost — Thrasher uses it to keep field teams looped in without giving everyone full tool access.
Is Strety worth it for a small or mid-size trades business? At roughly $13 per user per month with a 30-day free trial, the cost is usually small against what one missed Rock costs a growing trades business over a quarter.
What tools does Strety connect to? Strety integrates with Procore, ConnectWise, Autotask, HaloPSA, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Planner, and To Do, Slack, Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, HubSpot, Google, and Dropbox, among others.
Where to start Your construction or trades company needs EOS software built for how you run things — within your leadership team and also across job sites. A good first test: run your leadership team’s next Level 10 meeting over video, with whoever’s on-site dialing in from a job site, a supply yard, or a client’s driveway. When that meeting holds together — same agenda, same accountability, nobody checked out — the rest of the software decision gets easier.
Strety offers a 30-day free trial with no card required — test drive the right EOS software for your construction and trades business and enjoy unifying your team across sites. 🙂
