Company Background

SmartLever Solutions is a managed AI automation company serving mid-sized, technology-forward field service businesses. Founded in November 2025 in Sacramento, California, the company started as a custom development agency building applications and automations for individual clients, then built those solutions into a single platform as the same bottlenecks kept appearing across the industry.

SmartLever automations integrate with a client’s existing software and are hosted on SmartLever’s own platform, where the client can edit and approve critical actions while getting reporting on their productivity and profitability. The company manages and evolves the automations as the client’s business changes, so they get the gains of automation without adding headcount or managing another tool themselves.
