Bluelight

What Bluelight does

Bluelight Technologies, Inc. is a private, San Francisco-based vertical SaaS company that sells a subscription revenue-planning platform to home service operators who run their businesses on ServiceTitan. The product replaces static annual budgets and manual spreadsheet-based daily huddle reporting with a driver-based revenue plan — built from operational inputs such as technician count, jobs per tech, close rate, and average ticket — that automatically recomputes when the business changes and tracks actuals against the budget in real time via a native ServiceTitan integration.

The technology stack is a single integrated SaaS product rather than a multi-module suite. Core features include a Live Revenue Dashboard that breaks out MTD performance, pace, and variance by division (e.g., Plumbing Install, Plumbing Service, HVAC), a Nexstar-aligned dashboard customized to the Nexstar Business Planning Workshop framework, and automated KPI ingestion from ServiceTitan that eliminates the ~45 minutes of manual spreadsheet work operators typically perform ahead of morning huddles. Distribution is handled through a sales-led two-call process (30-minute demo on real operator data, followed by a 45-minute setup on the prospect's data) and a channel partnership with the Nexstar Network, where Bluelight acts as the recommended execution platform for Nexstar BPW members.

The business model is a monthly subscription with quote-based pricing tailored to operator size and headcount; there is no publicly disclosed price list. The company is small (1-10 employees, founded 2020), founder-led by Alex Lee (CEO) and Stewart Lamke (COO), backed by Y Combinator alongside Bay Wharf Capital and Born Capital, and operates exclusively in the United States. Named customers include WyattWorks Plumbing, Furr Plumbing Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical, KenHall, Landry Mechanical, DrainWorks Plumbing & Septic, and Service Professionals — all SMB home service operators.

Core offering

Bluelight is a subscription SaaS platform that integrates directly with ServiceTitan to automate the collection and calculation of operational and financial KPIs for home service businesses. It builds revenue plans bottoms-up from operational drivers (tech count, jobs per tech, conversion, average sale) and tracks actuals against the plan in real time so operators can run daily morning huddles on live numbers rather than manual spreadsheets. The product is sold as a single unified offering tailored to home service operators, particularly those executing the Nexstar Business Planning Workshop methodology.

Product overview

Bluelight is a single unified revenue planning platform designed specifically for ServiceTitan operators in the home service industry. The platform integrates natively with ServiceTitan to automatically collect and calculate operational and financial KPIs, providing a live 'control panel' that tracks revenue performance against budget in real time. Rather than a modular or multi-product portfolio, Bluelight functions as a standalone SaaS solution focused on replacing manual spreadsheet-based reporting with automated, driver-based revenue planning and daily huddle-ready dashboards.
