Software for the trades
Practical software for people who work with their hands.
FabrIQ Software builds tools that run the operation around the work. Made in Canada, tested in real trucks and shops.
Why we exist
Job software runs the job. Who runs everything around it?
Scheduling and invoicing tools are good at the work order. The rest of a trades business still lives in spreadsheets, group chats and someone’s memory: which truck is due for service, who has the right tools, what is on the shelf, whether the crew is ready. We build the layer that holds it together.
Crew first
If the person on the truck won’t use it, it doesn’t ship. Everything is built for a phone, gloves and a bad signal.
Works with what you have
We sit beside your job management software, not on top of it. No rip and replace.
Plain and practical
Fewer screens, fewer clicks, answers a manager can read in seconds.

How we work
Built the way a trades business actually runs.
Start with the operation
We began inside a working trades business, so each feature starts as a real problem someone had on a real day.
Prove it in the field
Features run with crews first. If a tech skips a step because it is slow or confusing, we change the step.
Keep it simple to adopt
A business can start with one area, such as fleet or truck stock, and add the rest when it is ready.
Improve with the people who use it
Early access customers shape what we build next, and we say so when we change course.
Trust
Your business data stays yours.
Trades companies hand us customer addresses, vehicle records and staff information. We design for that responsibility from the start.
Separate by business
Every company gets its own space. One business’s records are not visible to another’s.
Your keys, your connection
You connect your own ServiceTitan account with your own credentials. Lateral reads from it and does not write back.
You control the features
Modules and AI features can be switched on or off for each business, so people only see what they use.
Made in Canada
Built by a Canadian company for Canadian trades businesses, with their privacy expectations in mind.
Roadmap
Where we are and where we are headed.
Lateral early access
Onboarding a small group of trades businesses and tuning the product with them.
Deeper integrations
A smoother ServiceTitan connection and more ways to bring in the data you already keep.
More for more trades
Additional modules and templates as plumbing, HVAC, electrical and roofing crews ask for them.
These are plans, not promises. Dates move as we learn from customers.
Questions
Straight answers.
What does FabrIQ Software do?
We build operations software for trades businesses. Our first product is Lateral, which covers fleet, tools, truck stock, crew readiness and procedures.
Do I have to replace my job management software?
No. Lateral works alongside it. If you use ServiceTitan, it can read your data for reporting. We do not ask you to move your jobs or invoices.
Who is it for?
Plumbing, drain and sewer, HVAC, electrical and roofing companies, from a handful of trucks up to a few dozen.
Is Lateral available now?
It is in early access. Join the list on the Lateral site and we will reach out as spots open.
