Which ServiceTitan operations will the vendor actually support in your account? This guide turns that buying question into configuration requirements and an acceptance test.

Decision this guide addresses

Which ServiceTitan operations will the vendor actually support in your account?

A workflow that exposes the problem

A call creates a lead but the dispatcher assumes it is a capacity-checked job booking.

Requirements to put in the buying brief

Specify location matching, job type, business unit and booking status as separate requirements. Native integration, middleware and email summaries are different deliverables.

Configuration details that matter

Ask who owns API access and required permissions. Request screenshots or a sandbox demonstration of the exact record written, including duplicates and rejected addresses.

CheckpointEvidence to requestReject the pilot when
Before the callWritten scope for this exact workflowOnly a broad integration or feature label is offered
During the callAccurate request and truthful next-step wordingThe caller is given a promise the business cannot keep
After the callRecord status and a named owner for exceptionsThe transcript exists but nobody can act on it

Acceptance test before purchase

Submit an existing customer at a second address and a job outside capacity; pass only when location and booking state are unambiguous.

Costs beyond the advertised tier

Budget the subscription, the billing unit used by the vendor, connector fees, phone charges and staff time spent correcting exceptions. Illustrative example: a $120 monthly tool plus $30 connector and two staff hours at $25/hour costs $200 before any additional usage. A lower base price does not establish lower operating cost.

Decision rule

Buy only after the written integration scope identifies supported operations, account prerequisites and failure ownership.

What evidence is still missing?

TradeCall Lab has not completed controlled calls for this workflow. The acceptance test above is a proposed buyer test, not a measured vendor result.

How should a failed pilot be handled?

Pause the affected route, preserve the failure record and return calls to the existing staff or voicemail path. Resolve ownership and configuration before expanding coverage.
