“Can a commercial-only contractor platform own the end-to-end operational and financial workflow — from dispatch to ledger — for multi-trade service and construction shops?”
Founded 2018 as an all-in-one operations platform for commercial specialty contractors (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire, refrigeration) — deliberately commercial-only, not residential. Layered on Payments+ in 2023 to move from pure ops software toward embedded financial workflows (invoicing → collections → ERP sync). Reached unicorn status in 2025 while shipping OpsAI, the AI-native layer across service, project, and financial workflows. Embedded finance today is limited to payment acceptance; no lending, banking, payroll, or issuing products from the target itself.
BuildOps processes payments through BuildOps Payments+ (self-operated). Disclosed money-movement rails: ACH.
BuildOps integrates with QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Intacct, Sage, NetSuite, Viewpoint Vista and Viewpoint Spectrum.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 3 layers in BuildOps's stack: Payments / PSP (BuildOps Payments+ (self-operated)); Money movement (ACH); Accounting (QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage Intacct, Sage and 3 others).
BuildOps was founded by Alok Chanani and Steve Chew and is founded in 2018, headquartered in Los Angeles, California, USA.
BuildOps has raised $250M+ in total (latest round: Series C, March 2025; valuation: $1B post-money (2025)).
