Backbone Ops is a registered Canadian sole proprietorship building AI-powered field operations tools for subcontractor coordinators — owner-operators who run multiple job sites with independent tradespeople and no office staff.
We focus on a specific problem: the coordinator who runs everything from their phone, managing a handful of subs across multiple properties through WhatsApp. Every other tool on the market is built for businesses with employees, crew schedulers, and payroll. We built Backbone Ops for the coordinator who works alone.
Backbone Ops is boutique by design. We work with a small number of clients and set each one up personally. The platform is AI-first — messages from your subcontractors are read automatically, matched to the right job, and surfaced as structured data on your dashboard. Nothing changes for the subs. Everything changes for you.
