Our Story
Built by a Contractor Who Lived the Problem
Big Dogs Toolbelt is the lead-capture system Jimmy Davidson wished he'd had for the first 25 years of his career. Now every contractor can have it.
The Story
Jimmy Davidson spent 25 years in the trades. He ran roofing crews in the summer heat, handled HVAC installs in crawlspaces nobody else wanted to touch, and managed projects from foundation to final inspection. He knows what it's like to be on a ladder at 7 a.m. with your phone buzzing in your pocket and no way to answer it.
Then came the year he sat down with his accountant and ran the numbers. Missed calls. Leads that never got a callback. Estimates that went out two days late because nobody followed up. The total: $47,000 in lost revenue in a single year. Not from bad work. Not from bad reviews. From a phone that rang when nobody could pick it up.
That was the moment Jimmy decided to build something. Not another tech company's idea of what contractors need — not some app designed by people who have never held a nail gun — but a real tool, built by someone who has been on the roof, under the house, and in the office at midnight doing payroll. Big Dogs Toolbelt launched from that frustration, and it works the way a contractor actually works: fast, simple, and always on.
“I didn't lose that money because I was bad at my job. I lost it because I was too busy doing my job to answer the phone.”— Jimmy Davidson, Founder

What Makes Us Different
Built by Contractors
We know the business because we lived it. This isn’t another Silicon Valley startup guessing what you need. Every feature exists because a contractor needed it on a job site.
No Buzzwords
We don’t say “AI-powered synergy.” We say: your phone gets answered, your leads get followed up, and you close more jobs. That’s what the software does.
Pays for Itself
One extra job per month covers the cost. Everything after that is profit. Most contractors see ROI in the first week.
Agentic Personnel Solutions
APS builds intelligent automation tools for industries where missed opportunities cost real money. We combine AI agents, voice technology, and CRM automation into products that work the way real businesses work — not the way software companies think they should. Big Dogs Toolbelt is our flagship product for the trades, and it's just the beginning.
