Housecall Pro's Pro Pit Stop Event in Tampa

Housecall Pro, a prominent software platform designed for home service professionals, recently launched its inaugural Pro Pit Stop drive-thru event in Tampa. This initiative served as an exceptional opportunity for contractors to access vital resources and services while building professional connections. The event was held on August 7, 2025, and attracted over 50 local business owners who were eager to enhance their service capabilities.

At the Pro Pit Stop, attendees received free vehicle servicing offered by Spiffy, a local auto maintenance vendor. This unique approach aimed to blend essential fleet care with valuable networking opportunities and the introduction of innovative business tools for contractors. Co-sponsored by Housecall Pro and Force Fleet Tracking, the event garnered support from key industry partners including Blue Recruit, Wrapmate, Holman, and Geico, all of whom showcased tools designed to improve operations, brand visibility, and sustainable growth.

Roland Ligtenberg, Co-Founder and Senior Vice President of Innovation at Housecall Pro, emphasized the critical role that well-maintained vehicles play for home service professionals. He stated, "Pit stops win races. In the trades, Pros win when their tools and vehicles work in sync. A truck is a mobile office, a toolbox, and often the lifeblood of the business." This perspective underlines why the Pro Pit Stop was created: to bolster the trades by supporting the vehicles and systems that empower these service professionals.

Beyond vehicle maintenance, the event provided hands-on demonstrations of Housecall Pro’s AI-powered software suite, including CSR AI, a feature that automates call management, job booking, and scheduling. Additionally, the integration of Housecall Pro's GPS vehicle tracking and dashcam features, powered by Force Fleet Tracking, offered contractors real-time visibility into their fleets. This capability ensures no customer call goes unanswered and keeps customers informed with precise updates.

The Pro Pit Stop event fostered a collaborative environment where attendees could share their experiences, successes, and challenges. This exchange of ideas is crucial for shaping future initiatives aimed at empowering home service professionals. Ligtenberg noted, "Pros showed up in their busiest season because we met them where they work and gave them immediate value. These events strengthen partner relationships and give us insight into the real challenges Pros face on the road and on the job."

Given the success of the Tampa event, Housecall Pro plans to expand the Pro Pit Stop program to additional cities in the upcoming months. This expansion aims to offer the same blend of technical support, industry insights, and relationship-building opportunities to new communities across the country. Local contractors can look forward to similar events that focus on enhancing their operational capabilities and fostering a thriving trade ecosystem.
