Specialty trades websites for Swept that stop handoff leaks
Our site attracts niche work—restoration metals, historical glazing, controlled environments, odd certifications—and then collapses everything into one generic form. When a qualified specialty bid or service call hits a slow handoff, margin walks. This setup qualifies the trade line, certifications, and job context on the website and routes structured payloads into CRM or email so ops can enter Swept after scope is validated.

What is broken on most specialty-trades websites
We keep seeing the same leak: highly specific technical work is marketed like a handyman line, so sales cannot tell a fit job from a time-waster until after three calls. Swept helps once crews and contracts exist; the website should capture trade vertical, compliance needs, and timeline before anyone opens Swept.
A weak specialty handoff can cost the certified crew window, the GC hold slot, or the bid deadline that does not move.
What a Swept-connected website does instead
Swept does not publish public website embeds or open APIs for marketing-site request capture, so the practical pattern is hybrid: the site captures trade category, certification requirements, site conditions, and decision role into CRM or email first, then operations mirrors sold work into Swept manually.
Native option
There is no native marketing-site-to-Swept request pipe; Swept supports execution once jobs are defined inside the product.
API option
Because there is no public API, developers cannot programmatically create clients, locations, or schedules from a custom web application.
How the connection works
Practical default
Hybrid: website to CRM or email, then Swept
The website qualifies niche scope and buyer readiness. CRM or email owns the thread until the job is real, then ops enters Swept to align crews and visits.
When to use: Use this when specialty work needs human triage before Swept reflects reality.
More control
Custom Specialty Trades intake + manual Swept entry
The site captures drawings links, spec sheets, safety constraints, and union or GC rules so estimators start informed.
When to use: Use when complex jobs need structured intake and manual Swept sync.
What the website captures for specialty-trades
Generic forms lose the detail your team needs in the first response window.
Trade or service line
Routing to the right estimator depends on vertical clarity.
Project or site type
Industrial, historical, healthcare-adjacent, or occupied sites change risk and crew mix.
Compliance or certification needs
Avoid sending the wrong ticket to a crew that cannot legally perform the work.
Decision timeline or bid deadline
Specialty bids compress fast; urgency must be visible immediately.
Phone and email
Technical buyers still expect fast acknowledgment.
Contact details
Gives the team a clean way to respond without rebuilding the same basics.
Typical specialty-trades + Swept workflows
Specifier or GC bid request

Owner-direct service call
Trigger: A property owner requests a niche repair or install.
Capture: The site captures photos or description prompts, access, and budget band.
Platform: Scheduled visits enter Swept after confirmation.
Warranty or callback work
Trigger: An existing client requests follow-up under warranty or maintenance agreement.
Capture: The website captures original job reference when possible.
Platform: Ops updates Swept to reflect callback tasks after approval.
Why tighten the website handoff before Swept
Faster Specialty Trades triage
Sales sees vertical fit and compliance flags before the first call.
Cleaner ops context
Swept jobs start from structured scope instead of a vague inquiry.
Better follow-up visibility
CRM preserves bid threads until Swept shows live execution.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace Swept?
No. Swept supports field execution; the website improves qualification upstream.
Can the site filter misfit jobs?
Yes. Trade line, compliance, and timeline fields make that possible.
Do we need direct Swept integration?
No. Hybrid CRM or email handoff is the practical default.
What lands in Swept first?
Usually jobs and visits your team enters after scope is validated—not silent website sync.
