Custom ServiceTitan dashboards: what to build first

ServiceTitan stores more operational data than most contractors ever act on. The question is not whether you can report on it. The question is which custom dashboards to build, in what order, so you get value in week one and not month six.

How to make contractor reporting actionable instead of decorative

Here is how to evaluate before you commit.
