ServiceTrade Buys AI Billing Startup Mura to Boost Revenue Tools

ServiceTrade snapped up Mura, an agentic AI platform, to automate billing and collections across commercial field service operations.

If you run a commercial field service business, you know the headache of chasing down invoices and getting paid on time. ServiceTrade, a software company built for that exact industry, just made a move to tackle that problem head-on by acquiring Mura — an AI-powered platform designed to automate the billing and collections side of the house.

Mura is what the tech world calls an "agentic AI" platform, meaning it doesn't just surface data or make suggestions — it actually takes actions on its own to get things done. In this case, that means handling the often-tedious work of turning completed field service jobs into paid invoices without requiring a human to babysit every step of the process.

For ServiceTrade, the deal is a strategic bet on the idea that revenue growth in field services isn't just about landing more contracts — it's about capturing every dollar from the work you already do.

The acquisition positions ServiceTrade to offer a more complete picture of the commercial service lifecycle, from scheduling and dispatch all the way through to getting paid. That kind of end-to-end capability is increasingly what larger service operators are looking for in a software partner, rather than stitching together a bunch of separate tools.

Whether you're a small HVAC outfit or a multi-location fire protection company, the promise here is that smarter automation handles the back-office grind so your team can focus on the actual work. Continue reading at GlobalNewswire.
