Vertical software was once considered a niche market within enterprise software, primarily served by VARs and ISVs with limited growth potential, while OEMs thrived on platform and ecosystem-focused business models. However, this landscape has shifted, especially with private equity firms adopting consolidation strategies during economic downturns, leading to a reevaluation of their go-to-market and marketing approaches and sometimes even overhauling their code bases entirely. This trend has affected even major proponents of platform strategies, like Salesforce, which has acquired vertical capabilities and introduced industry-specific packages. ServiceTitan stands out as one of the top vertical SaaS offerings listed on Forbes Cloud 100, potentially disrupting the ERP market dominated by companies such as Epicor and ECi. When considering Advantive, it can be challenging to determine who is disrupting whose market. But what exactly is ServiceTitan? Is it a field service application? An industry-specific CRM? A channel integration tool tailored for particular sectors, akin to ChannelAdvisor? Or is it a blend of all these functionalities? Could it even qualify as an ERP system?
In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry experts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to conduct an independent review of ServiceTitan’s capabilities. We covered many grounds, including where ServiceTitan might be a fit in the enterprise architecture and where it might be overused. Finally, they analyze many data points to help understand ServiceTitan's core strengths and weaknesses.
