Standards that protect quality

Shared expectations across scheduling, job costing, safety, customer communication, escalation, and reporting — so growth strengthens your reputation instead of straining it.

Shared services that reduce friction

Practical support with reporting, operating cadence, tools, and back-office coordination, so owners spend more time leading work and less time fighting spreadsheets.

Demand that fuels the right kind of growth

Kumo helps connect qualified operators with larger programs and steady customers, while giving partners consistency, visibility, and a single point of accountability.

Why Texas. Why now.

A growing state that runs on skilled work.

Texas continues to grow in people, projects, and industry. Housing, healthcare, logistics, energy, and public infrastructure are under constant pressure — and they all depend on skilled operators and service businesses.

Many of those businesses have more demand than capacity. They need better systems, simple tools, and a partner who understands how to grow without losing control.

Kumo exists to help those operators build strong, sustainable businesses that can serve Texas for the long term.

What breaks as you grow

The work is solid. The systems need help.

  • Job costing is uneven → margins are unclear
  • Scheduling lives in people’s heads → commitments slip
  • Collections lag → cash gets tight
  • Hiring & training aren’t consistent → quality varies by crew
  • Partners ask for reporting & escalation → operators get overwhelmed
How Kumo shows up

Practical support for real operating environments.

Multi-site property services

One roof, many locations. Kumo helps align standards, communication, and reporting so local operators can serve regional or statewide work.

Construction & infrastructure programs

Shared playbooks and operating cadence allow independent crews to participate in larger, longer-term projects without losing their identity.

Healthcare & technical services

Clinics, home health, and technical providers need reliability and compliance. Operators need systems that make documentation easier, not heavier.

The talent pipeline

From skills training to sustainable businesses.

Through SOAR Skills, students receive funding, mentorship, and community support as they pursue high-demand trades and technical careers:
