Embracing Technology in the Trades Industry: Insights from Jenny Benbrook
đ§ Listen to this episode
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge sits down with Jenny Benbrook, founder and CEO of Powerhouse Consulting Group. Jenny brings her expertise in software consulting for the trades industry to the conversation, highlighting how contractors can embrace technology to streamline operations and stay competitive. She also shares her journey of balancing family life and entrepreneurship, and offers insights on empowering women in traditionally male-dominated industries.
The Role of Technology in Transforming the Trades Industry
Jenny explains that while industries like HVAC, plumbing, electrical work, and exterior services such as roofing and siding have historically been slower to adopt digital technologies, the last decade has seen major shifts. Contractors today are increasingly recognizing the benefits of field service management (FSM) software, which consolidates functions like scheduling, inventory management, financial tracking, and dispatching into one cohesive system. Jenny emphasizes that adopting FSM software is no longer optional but essential for businesses that want to thrive in a competitive market.
At Powerhouse Consulting Group, Jenny and her team act as third-party intermediaries to guide businesses through the technology adoption process. They help contractors understand the intricacies of software implementation, identify potential roadblocks, and ensure the selected solutions align with the businessâs unique needs. Having external experts manage this process relieves much of the burden for contractors and ensures that digital transformation efforts actually lead to improved efficiency and profitability.
Beyond technology, Jenny also touches on the growing number of women stepping into leadership roles within the trades industry. Trade organizations are offering programs that support womenâs professional growth, helping them develop confidence and technical expertise. Jenny believes that women bring a unique combination of emotional intelligence and strategic thinking that strengthens businesses across the sector, and she encourages more women to claim their seat at the table.
