The actual problem
Most contractors don’t lack software. They have an estimating tool, a spreadsheet for job cost, a text thread for dispatch, a folder of PDFs for compliance, and accounting software that finds out last. Every handoff is a retype, and every retype is a chance for two systems to hold different truths about the same job.
One connected workflow
Coordinate crews and equipment around the job. Review resource availability and assignment conflicts in one dispatch workspace.

Silverback intelligence
Silverback reads the same records the crews and the office already write — jobs, bids, purchase orders, bills, tickets, compliance dates — and turns them into a ranked queue of decisions with the evidence attached to each one.
It also reads vendor invoices into the system rather than having them retyped, and does quantity takeoff from drawings.

How it works
STEP 01
Every owner gets one Admin Command Center. Each company picks the package built for it — General Contractor, Residential Builder / Remodeler, Specialty, Electrical, Plumbing, Civil / Sitework, Mechanical / HVAC or Trucking — and every tool for that business comes with it.
STEP 02
Cost codes, customers, jobs, equipment, crews and contracts load into one spine. Bills can arrive by email and get read into the system rather than retyped.
STEP 03
Schedule the work, assign crews and subs, manage purchasing, and track job costs through billing. Prepare reviewed emails with job documents and approved accounting records for your connected QuickBooks system.
From the schedule to the books
Built for general and residential contractors, mechanical, HVAC and plumbing businesses, and site and utility contractors. Pick the package built for the way your company works.
Coordinate crews and subs, manage jobs and purchasing, and follow costs through billing — all included in your business package.
Send reviewed messages with your company and job information from a connected mailbox after setup and activation. Owners and admins can prepare and review email with selected file attachments (up to 5 files, 2 MB total). Live sending requires an eligible shared company mailbox and activation.
Prepare approved records for QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop through Web Connector. Hosted Desktop options include Rightworks (formerly Right Networks), subject to your hosting plan and provider setup.
Supported accounting transfers are confirmed during onboarding. Sending records to QuickBooks is enabled after connection testing and your approval.
Bad Daddy OperationsField app
Jobs, schedules, receipts and equipment checks for your field team, on their phones. Download the Bad Daddy Operations app on the App Store or Google Play and sign in with your company’s BDO account.
For iPhone, Android phones and tablets. Your company administrator controls who can sign in and what each person sees.
Insurance & certificate tracking
Track your company’s and subcontractors’ insurance certificates, policy dates and renewal history. See missing coverage evidence and upcoming expiration dates before an audit or job review.
Keep original certificates with reviewed policy details. Track subcontractors even before their certificates arrive, so missing evidence stays visible.
Select a start and end date for your company, one subcontractor, or all tracked businesses. Include matching certificates across renewals when the period spans more than one policy term.
One button gathers the matching original certificates, policy register and coverage-gap report into a ZIP package. Missing or unreadable originals are flagged instead of silently left out.
Reports use the records saved in BDO; they do not verify coverage with an insurer. Packets support up to 50 originals within the download size limit. For larger collections, narrow the period or select a business.

Questions
No. BDO handles scheduling, estimating, purchasing, job cost, field work and customer billing; your general ledger stays in QuickBooks. Connection options include QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop through Web Connector, including hosted Desktop environments such as Rightworks (formerly Right Networks) when your hosting plan permits it. We confirm supported transfers and activate them after setup, testing and your approval.
One login. You pick the company at the top of every screen, and there's a portfolio view across all of them. One Admin Command Center covers all of them. Each company has its own business package, roles and cost codes, so a general contractor and a plumbing business can each work their own way.
Yes, chosen per contract. Cost-plus bills actual cost plus a fee, including a minimum fee floor when the contract specifies one. Fixed-price bills percent complete against a schedule of values. A fixed-price contract is not allowed to carry a fee, so the same work can't be billed twice.
Set per contract when the contract is entered, with the release condition recorded alongside it. There is deliberately no system-wide default: a blank retainage means nobody has answered yet, which is not the same as a contract that withholds nothing.
Yes. The Bad Daddy Operations field app is available for iPhone on the App Store and for Android on Google Play, and crews sign in with their company's BDO account. Roles are separated so a driver or crew member sees their work rather than the whole back office.
It's in active use on real companies and real jobs, and it is still being built out week to week. We'd rather tell you that than describe it as finished. If you need something completely static, this is not it yet.
