STACK PATTERN

eLogii + ServiceTrade

ServiceTrade is the FSM for commercial service contractors: work orders, jobs and appointments, inspection workflows, deficiencies and quoting, recurring service contracts, the tech mobile app, the customer portal and the billing handoff. eLogii is the routing and dispatch layer on top: takes today’s ServiceTrade appointments and turns them into optimized multi-stop routes against vehicle capacity, time windows, skills and SLAs, with multi-day and multi-region planning, live tracking and configurable POD where you need it. Two systems, two jobs. The integration runs over both products’ REST APIs, typically delivered in 3 to 5 weeks alongside the eLogii rollout.

Where eLogii sits
Past the FSM
ServiceTrade owns the job and appointment lifecycle, inspections, deficiencies, quoting, the customer portal and billing handoff. eLogii sequences the day across the fleet, plans multi-day and multi-region routes, streams live GPS. Two APIs, two systems of record for two different problems.
Optimization depth
2 + 6
Two engines (Default and Advanced) and six configurable modes: three assignment modes plus three load-balancing modes, all callable via REST.
What flows back to ServiceTrade
Status + ETA
Appointment status, arrival and completion timestamps, any route-position metadata and driver-collected payments, written back to the appointment via the ServiceTrade API. The work-order body (inspection, deficiencies, attachments) stays in ServiceTrade.
Pricing
From $3k/mo
Platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and modules. Runs alongside what you are already paying ServiceTrade.

What each side owns

ServiceTrade and eLogii sit at different layers of the same stack. ServiceTrade is the FSM and stays the system of record for jobs, appointments, inspections, deficiencies, quotes, recurring service contracts, the tech mobile app, the customer portal and billing handoff. eLogii is the routing and dispatch layer: the multi-stop optimizer, the route plan across the fleet, live tracking and, where the operation needs it, an additional driver mobile app surface. Both products expose REST APIs and webhook events, and the integration between them is a normal API integration.

ServiceTrade
The FSM for commercial service contractors
  • Jobs and appointments, work order lifecycle
  • Recurring service contracts and service line cadences
  • Inspection workflows, deficiencies, quote-from-deficiency
  • Assets and asset history per customer location
  • Tech mobile app, work-order capture, signature on the work order
  • Customer portal and customer service reports
  • Invoicing handoff into the accounting system
  • ServiceTrade API (REST, OAuth 2.0), webhooks
eLogii
The routing and dispatch layer
  • Route optimization across vehicles, depots, capacities, time windows, skills and SLAs
  • Two engines, six configurable modes, all REST-callable
  • Multi-day, multi-region routing planned in one run
  • Recurring routes and task templates as dedicated entities
  • Driver mobile app: navigation, configurable POD, photo, signature, conditional steps
  • Live driver GPS, route ETA stream, branded customer tracking pages
  • 70+ REST endpoints, full-parity sandbox, seven webhook events including live GPS
  • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified

In the combined pattern, ServiceTrade stays the system of record for the customer, the asset, the work order and the service contract. Open appointments flow into eLogii as routable tasks; eLogii optimizes against vehicles, depots, time windows, capacities, skills and SLAs; the tech navigates to the next stop in the eLogii app and switches to the ServiceTrade app on site to capture inspection results, deficiencies and the customer signature; completion timestamps and any route-side metadata write back to the ServiceTrade appointment. The work-order body lives in ServiceTrade where it was captured.

What each side owns, in detail

Three tables: where the work order and service contract live (ServiceTrade leads), where routing and dispatch live (eLogii leads), and what the integration architecture looks like on both sides.

A typical ServiceTrade + eLogii data flow

End to end, how a ServiceTrade appointment gets routed, dispatched, completed and reconciled back to the job record. The exact wiring depends on your tenant and the iPaaS your team uses, but the shape is the same in every deployment.

  • Job creation in ServiceTrade. Job created from a customer request, a deficiency follow-up or the next-due cycle on a recurring service contract. The job carries one or more appointments, each with a location, service line, requested window, asset references and any required tech skills.
  • Push or pull to eLogii. Most rollouts subscribe to ServiceTrade webhooks on appointment creation and update. Alternative: a scheduled pull of the open appointment book via the ServiceTrade API.
  • Ingest into eLogii. Appointments land in eLogii as tasks via POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany, with the ServiceTrade job and appointment IDs held as external_id so every eLogii task can be traced back to the source records (and vice versa). Required skills, time windows, asset access constraints map to eLogii task fields.
  • Optimization. Planner runs optimization in eLogii. Vehicle capacities, depot start and end, customer time windows, technician skills and shift hours, SLA windows on the underlying service contract and rule-based exceptions all enforced. Two engines, six configurable modes. Plans run by day, by week or rolling.
  • Dispatch and execution. The tech’s phone carries both apps. eLogii holds the route: turn-by-turn navigation, the stop order, live ETA. ServiceTrade holds the work order: inspection checklist, deficiencies, customer signature on the work order, attachments. Live GPS streams from the eLogii app to dispatch and to the customer-facing tracking page.
  • Write-back to ServiceTrade. On completion (or per-stop), the integration writes back via the ServiceTrade API: appointment status, arrival and completion timestamps, route-position metadata where useful, and any driver-collected payment or custom-form data captured in the eLogii app. The work order itself, with inspection results and deficiencies, closes in ServiceTrade where the tech captured it.

Variations on the same pattern: multi-day inspection projects modeled as one ServiceTrade job with multiple appointments routed across days in eLogii; emergency callouts triggering eLogii re-optimization while protecting customer-confirmed inspection windows; SLA-aware dispatch where the service contract’s response-time clause flows into eLogii as a hard constraint. None require special connector logic; they are normal mappings across two REST APIs.

Where ServiceTrade stops, for routing depth

ServiceTrade is a deep FSM for commercial service contractors. Several parts of it touch the routing problem at the edge, but it isn’t a constraint-aware route optimizer. Drawing the line clearly matters when scoping eLogii alongside ServiceTrade:

  • Scheduling board and dispatch grid. ServiceTrade has a dispatch view for assigning appointments to techs by day, with calendar / Gantt-style visualization. It is the right tool for day-to-day assignment, not a constraint-aware multi-stop route optimizer for a whole week, multi-day project or multi-region operation.
  • Tech mobile app. The ServiceTrade app is the work-order surface: inspection checklists, deficiencies, asset history, customer signature on the work order. Strong for what it covers; not built for the routing-side workflow (route view, turn-by-turn, live re-sequencing as exceptions land).
  • Customer portal and service reports. The end-customer logs in to ServiceTrade to see service history and reports. eLogii’s branded tracking page covers the live ETA / today-is-the-day surface, embeddable via iframe or sent as SMS / email links.
  • Recurring service contracts. ServiceTrade generates the next-due appointments off the customer-facing contract (the cadence the customer signed up for). Routing those appointments efficiently across the fleet, week after week, is where eLogii’s recurring routes and templates pick up.
  • No constraint-aware route optimization engine. ServiceTrade does not ship a multi-stop optimizer with vehicle capacity, time windows, skills, SLA windows and multi-day modeling as first-class inputs. That is the gap eLogii fills.

ServiceTrade was built to be the FSM for commercial service contractors; the point of mapping the seam is so the integration with eLogii is clean. ServiceTrade keeps the work order, the inspection workflow, the deficiency-to-quote flow and the service contract; eLogii owns the route plan, the multi-day scheduling and the live tracking.

Implementation patterns

Three shapes cover almost every ServiceTrade + eLogii deployment. The right one depends on what your ServiceTrade tenant already looks like and which side of the seam you want the orchestration logic to live on.

  • Direct integration: webhooks both sides. The simplest shape. ServiceTrade webhooks fire on appointment create / update and the integration calls eLogii to create or update a task. eLogii webhooks fire on completion and the integration writes back to the ServiceTrade appointment via the ServiceTrade API. A small integration service (or serverless function) hosts the webhook receivers. Typical time: 3 to 5 weeks alongside the rest of an eLogii rollout.
  • Your existing iPaaS as the integration broker. If you already run an iPaaS (Workato, Tray, Make, MuleSoft, Boomi, etc.), it can broker eLogii alongside ServiceTrade. eLogii has REST + JSON APIs, a sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and publicly documented endpoints.
  • Delivered by an integrator that already knows your tenant. Many ServiceTrade customers work with a partner familiar with their tenant. eLogii’s REST API is documented openly so the partner can scope and deliver the bidirectional sync as part of their existing engagement.

What this looks like for the typical eLogii + ServiceTrade customer

Two common shapes for commercial service contractors running ServiceTrade alongside eLogii.

Multi-region commercial service contractor

Fire and life safety, mechanical / HVAC, electrical, sprinkler / suppression: large operations with 100+ technicians across multiple branches and recurring service contracts on thousands of customer assets. ServiceTrade owns the service contract, the inspection workflow and the deficiency-to-quote flow. eLogii owns the routing layer: planning a whole week or month of inspections across branches, balancing tech skills against asset access requirements, surfacing SLA-aware re-optimization when emergency callouts land. Bristow & Sutor runs 200+ enforcement agents and 200,000+ case visits routed annually on eLogii; Vergo runs 400 technicians; the same routing depth applies to large ServiceTrade tenants.

Service contractor with high-volume recurring inspections

The bulk of the appointment book is recurring service contracts firing on a cadence: quarterly fire alarm inspections, semi-annual mechanical PMs, monthly sprinkler tests. ServiceTrade generates the next-due appointments; eLogii’s recurring routes and task templates model the routing cadence and balance the load across techs and branches, week after week. Where the operation has a mix of inspection visits and reactive callouts, eLogii’s rule-based re-optimization protects the customer-confirmed inspection windows while reslotting the reactive work.

Pricing and time to live

eLogii runs alongside ServiceTrade; nothing changes on the ServiceTrade side. eLogii pricing starts from $3,000 per month as a platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and the modules required. Each band includes a quota; cost steps up when the operation crosses a band, not when you add an individual seat. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months, and combined ServiceTrade + eLogii rollouts (including the integration) complete in 3 to 5 weeks. ServiceTrade pricing is its own thing and is not affected by adding eLogii.

Book A Custom Simulation

When adding eLogii alongside ServiceTrade makes sense

Stay on ServiceTrade alone if

  • You run a single branch with a small team and the dispatch grid is sufficient day to day
  • Your appointment book is mostly reactive callouts with no recurring inspection volume to optimize across
  • You don’t need live tech tracking, branded customer tracking or self-service rescheduling on the route plan
  • You have no multi-day or multi-branch routing requirement that needs real constraint-aware optimization

Add eLogii alongside ServiceTrade if

  • You run 50+ technicians across one or more branches
  • You need real route optimization with vehicle capacity, time windows, tech skills and SLA constraints, not just calendar slotting on a dispatch grid
  • You need a multi-day or multi-branch plan that respects recurring inspection cadences across thousands of assets
  • You want live tech tracking, branded customer tracking and self-service rescheduling on top of what ServiceTrade gives you today
  • You want rule-based re-optimization that protects customer-confirmed inspection windows while reslotting reactive callouts
  • You want pricing transparency and an integration live in weeks, not quarters
Anthony O’Keeffe, Bristow & Sutor

We have been extremely impressed with the results from eLogii so far. The solution is powerful and the team have found it extremely intuitive and easy to get going with. We signed a multi-year agreement with eLogii and are looking forward to deepening our relationship with them over the next years.

Adding eLogii alongside ServiceTrade

Three steps for teams whose dispatch and routing has outgrown what the ServiceTrade scheduling grid covers on its own, and who want to keep ServiceTrade as the FSM system of record while adding eLogii for the routing depth on top.

Map the data model

Service lines, tech skill matrix, branches as depots, recurring service contract cadences, asset access requirements. ServiceTrade API queries return the open appointment book; mapping to eLogii task fields documented end to end. ServiceTrade webhook subscriptions configured for the appointment lifecycle. Sandbox connectivity proven on both sides before any production data moves.

Weeks 1–2

Configure & simulate

Custom data simulation against a recent sample of ServiceTrade appointments so you can validate the modeling and project savings before go-live. Side by side: how the work gets dispatched today vs. how eLogii would route it with the same constraints. Approve the optimizer settings, the trigger conditions and the write-back fields on the ServiceTrade appointment.

Weeks 2–3

Phased go-live

Start with one branch, region or service line. Techs onboarded onto the eLogii app alongside the existing ServiceTrade mobile app. ServiceTrade webhook live; eLogii webhook stream wired to your integration layer (or iPaaS) for the write-back. Expand to the rest of the operation once the first cohort is steady. Most teams complete the transition in 3 to 5 weeks total.

Weeks 3–5

Unimasters runs eLogii across a multi-country operation and achieved 50% less planning time and 49% fewer service calls. Multi-region rollouts deploy in weeks, not quarters.

Frequently asked questions

How does eLogii integrate with ServiceTrade?

Through both products’ REST APIs. ServiceTrade exposes the ServiceTrade API (REST, JSON, OAuth 2.0) with endpoints for jobs, appointments, locations, assets, deficiencies, quotes, attachments and customer records, plus webhooks for event-driven integration. eLogii’s REST API has 70+ endpoints, ApiKey auth, a full-parity sandbox at api-sandbox.elogii.com and seven webhook event types including Driver/Task Tracking Update with live GPS. Typical pattern: a ServiceTrade webhook fires on appointment create / update, the integration calls eLogii to create or update a task, eLogii routes and dispatches; on completion, the eLogii webhook fires and the integration writes back to the ServiceTrade appointment. Most deployments are delivered in 3 to 5 weeks alongside the eLogii rollout.

Does eLogii replace ServiceTrade?

No. ServiceTrade is the FSM and stays the system of record for work orders, jobs, appointments, inspections, deficiencies, quotes, recurring service contracts, customer records and invoicing handoff. eLogii is the routing and dispatch layer on top: multi-stop optimization across vehicle capacity, time windows, skills and SLAs; multi-day and multi-depot plans; live tracking; configurable POD. The two run alongside each other on the same operation.

How are ServiceTrade jobs handed to eLogii?

Jobs (and the appointments inside them) in ServiceTrade carry the location, service line, requested window, asset references and tech requirements. The integration pulls open appointments via the ServiceTrade API (or subscribes to ServiceTrade webhooks) and creates corresponding eLogii tasks via POST /tasks/createOrUpdateMany, with the ServiceTrade job and appointment IDs held as external_id. eLogii then optimizes routes for the day, week or month against the wider plan.

Does the tech use the ServiceTrade app or the eLogii app on the road?

Both, side by side, on the same phone. The eLogii driver app handles the route view, turn-by-turn navigation and any delivery-style POD or custom forms. The ServiceTrade mobile app stays the surface for the work order itself: inspection checklists, deficiencies, quoting on the fly, asset history, customer signature on the work order. Most operations use eLogii to get the tech to the right place at the right time and ServiceTrade to capture the service work.

What data flows back from eLogii to ServiceTrade?

Typically: appointment status (arrived, completed, partial, failed and the reason), arrival and completion timestamps, route-position metadata if needed, and any driver-collected payments or custom form data captured in the eLogii app. The write-back uses the ServiceTrade API against the matching appointment record. The work-order body (inspection results, deficiencies, attachments) remains in ServiceTrade where the tech captured it.

Does eLogii do recurring service contracts?

Recurring service contracts (the customer-facing agreement: quarterly fire alarm inspections, monthly sprinkler tests, semi-annual mechanical PMs) stay in ServiceTrade. eLogii’s recurring routes and task templates model the routing-side cadence: any frequency, any duration, modeled as dedicated entities. The two work together: ServiceTrade generates the next-due appointments off the service contract, eLogii routes them efficiently.

How long does adding eLogii alongside ServiceTrade take?

Typically 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to a phased go-live, including the ServiceTrade integration. Most teams start with one branch, region or service line, validate against a sample of recent jobs, then expand. The integration is straightforward: ServiceTrade webhook or scheduled pull fires when an appointment is created or updated, eLogii creates a task and runs optimization, eLogii webhook fires on completion and the integration writes back to ServiceTrade.

How does pricing work alongside ServiceTrade?

ServiceTrade pricing stays as-is; eLogii is added on top. eLogii pricing is a platform fee, banded by field staff, drivers, jobs per day and modules, from $3,000 per month. Customers typically report 3 to 4× return on investment within 6 months on eLogii.

Which service lines is this stack a good fit for?

Commercial service contractors where ServiceTrade is already the FSM: fire and life safety, mechanical and HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler and suppression, security. The eLogii + ServiceTrade stack adds the most depth where the operation has 50+ technicians, multi-day or multi-region routing, recurring inspection cadences across thousands of assets, and SLA-driven service contracts.

Is eLogii enterprise-grade?

Yes. eLogii runs operations at scale: J-Club (9,000+ stores), NHS, Belfast City Council, Vergo (400 technicians), Bristow & Sutor (200+ enforcement agents, 200,000+ case visits routed annually), Porcelanosa, Caldic and Berkmann Wine Cellars. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified.
