Strategic Clarity in the Skilled Trades: Dan Herbatschek Launches AI-Augmented ERP to Modernize Field Service

OCTOBER 06, 2025 – NEW YORKRamsey Theory Group, a leading innovator in software development and Artificial Intelligence, today announced a significant digital initiative aimed at the Skilled Trades and Field Service sector. Recognizing the industry's projected $3 billion+ spend on AI by 2026, Founder and CEO Dan Herbatschek positions the firm’s enhanced platform, Erdos Tracks, as the necessary strategic digital backbone for contractors seeking automated workflows, operational clarity, and performance optimization.

Erdos Tracks is not merely a software application, but an integrated, next-generation platform designed to deliver end-to-end visibility and control. It mathematically unites Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), job costing, dynamic dispatch, project tracking, advanced analytics, and mobile field workflows.

"With Erdos Tracks, contractors are trading margin guesswork and paperwork for real-time clarity and predictive insight into every single job," said Dan Herbatschek, CEO of Ramsey Theory Group. "The skilled trades have historically lagged in digital adoption, relying heavily on clipboards, paper schedules, and messy spreadsheets. We believe these firms deserve sophisticated, AI-powered systems built for their complex realities: mobile crews, dynamic job sites, and limited administrative capacity. By fusing Ramsey Theory Group’s AI expertise with field-proven platforms, we are accelerating the trades into the future."

The Imperative for Digital Transformation in Trades

The core operational model of field service—spanning HVAC, plumbing, electrical, remediation, and general contracting—is often burdened by legacy systems and paper-based fragmentation. This systemic inefficiency directly results in:

  • Delayed Financial Reconciliation: Inability to reconcile costs until weeks after project completion.
  • Data Latency: Lost or inaccurate field updates leading to poor decision-making.
  • Systemic Disconnect: Financials, scheduling, and dispatch operating in disconnected silos.
  • Margin Ambiguity: Limited real-time insight into true project profitability.

Erdos Tracks was engineered to systematically dismantle these friction points through intelligent automation:

FeatureStrategic ImpactTrue Job Costing & Budget TrackingTracks labor, materials, inventory, and subcontractor costs in real time against budget to prevent overruns.Smart Scheduling, Dispatch & RoutingUses mathematical optimization to refine crew assignments and routes, maximizing technician utilization and reducing non-billable drive time.Mobile-First Field WorkflowEmpowers technicians to log time, capture digital signatures, upload geo-tagged photos, and update work orders directly from the site, achieving a paperless handoff.AI-Augmented AnalyticsDelivers actionable KPI Dashboards and predictive alerts on performance across company, job, and crew levels.Integrated CRM & Proposal EngineSeamlessly connects customer account management, estimate creation, and the conversion of proposals directly into active work orders.

Export to Sheets

By tightly integrating finance, operations, and field execution, Erdos Tracks surfaces data that contractors can act upon immediately, paving the way for data-driven scalability and resilience against labor shortages and margin pressures.

Documented Operational Gains

Early deployments of the AI-enhanced workflow demonstrate significant operational acceleration, confirming that AI is now a strategic necessity for the industry.

  • Administrative Efficiency: Firms report a 30–50% reduction in administrative overhead, driven by the automated flow of field data directly into financial and project reports, eliminating manual data handling.
  • Accelerated Decision Cycles: Project managers gain at-a-glance visibility into job health, enabling earlier course correction to avoid budget shortfalls or schedule slippage.
  • Productivity Uplift: Technicians reduce time spent on paperwork, increasing wrench time, while optimization algorithms ensure a more precise alignment of crew capacity with dynamic demand.
  • Client Transparency: Customers receive greater real-time visibility into project status and costs, fundamentally strengthening trust and mitigating disputes.

A regional HVAC pilot, for instance, documented the elimination of over 5,000 sheets of paper annually and achieved a 20% reduction in the billing cycle time. Industry analyses indicate that by year-end 2025, over 45% of mid-size trade contractors (10–100 field technicians) will have implemented AI-enhanced workflows, a figure projected to climb to over 65% by mid-2026. Early adopters are confirming productivity gains in field operations ranging from 10−15%, validating the platform’s transformative impact.
