Landscaping and grounds

Landscaping business software for route based crews

Lawn and landscape work lives and dies by the route. The season swings hard, the weather moves the week, and the crew that mows fifty properties cannot afford twenty minutes of extra driving on any of them.

What does landscaping software need to do?

It has to keep a recurring route on the calendar, let the office push a rained out day without rebuilding it by hand, and get the invoice out while the crew is still in the truck. Tracking which mower and which trailer went where matters more than most software admits.

How does a landscaping week run on it?

The same tools every Pinstripe Fleet customer gets, set up the way this trade runs.

The route stays intact

Recurring maintenance sits on the calendar for the whole season, grouped the way you actually drive it. Extra work such as mulch, cleanups, and installs goes into the gaps that are already visible.

  • Recurring jobs
  • Schedule
  • Dispatch board

Weather moves the day, not the season

When a day washes out, move the work on the dispatch board and reassign the crew. The move can be done by dragging or from a dialog with the keyboard, so it is fast either way.

  • Reassignment

Trucks, mowers, and trailers are tracked

Vehicles and equipment are their own records, assigned to jobs and crews, with document expiry and inspection history. You know which machine was on which property when something breaks.

  • Vehicles
  • Equipment
  • Inspections

Bill the same day

Per visit, monthly for a maintenance contract, or per project for install work. The customer gets a link and pays by card, and the payment posts against the invoice on its own.

What is set up for a landscaping company?

Setup starts you with route grouped recurring maintenance, a service list covering mowing, cleanups, mulch, and installs, crew time tracking turned on, and both per visit and monthly contract billing available.

Common questions from landscaping and lawn care companies

Can I run seasonal maintenance and one off installs in the same company?

Yes. Recurring maintenance sits on the calendar as standing work, and installs and cleanups are one off jobs that drop into the same schedule. It is one customer list and one place to bill from.

What happens to the route when it rains?

Open the day on the dispatch board and move the work to another day or another crew. Only the jobs you move change. The rest of the season stays exactly where it was.

Can I see what a property actually costs to service?

Yes. Crew hours clock against the job, so the labor on a property adds up over the season and you can compare it to what you are charging before you quote next year.

Do I have to track equipment to use this?

No. Vehicles and equipment are modules you can leave off. Turn them on when you want to know which truck and which machine went to which property.

Not sure it fits how you work?

Bring three jobs you ran last week and we will build them in front of you. If it cannot handle your real work, you will know in twenty minutes.
