Landscape software is a system that allows you to run your business efficiently and profitably by bringing all your essential operations into one platform. It will include essential tools like customer relationship management (CRM) to track customer information and sales activities; help your team estimate, schedule, and update landscape jobs with confidence; manage crews in the field; accurately invoice clients; and assess job performance.

The landscape and lawn care businesses of today require a solid business management software in order to succeed.

By centralizing vital business functions, software provides instant visibility into your company’s performance. Aspire runs on a work-ticket management system, which provides a detailed breakdown of the hours, equipment and costs associated with each job—so you always know how you’re performing. 

From the estimate to invoice, landscape software creates efficiencies, automates data entry and streamlines your team’s workflow. Job scheduling becomes easier when you can drag and drop jobs onto a schedule board and update those schedules instantly. Save fuel and unnecessary stops in the truck and optimize routes with a single click. Invoicing and payment processing is a simpler process when your system quickly generates invoices and shows which are still outstanding.

With real-time data and reporting, you’re able to make better business decisions that impact your company’s profitability. Job costing that’s based on actual labor and material costs helps you estimate jobs that hit your target profit margins and develop accurate and profitable pricing that grows your business. You have service history for each of your clients easily accessible, allowing you to spot hidden sales opportunities or areas for improvement.

An all-in-one field service management software with a mobile app for crew management improves communication across your company.

Labor hours are automatically tracked in the app and tagged to the correct jobs, saving you the hassle of paper timesheets and payroll reconciliation.

Yes, Aspire’s business landscape management software integrates with QuickBooks/QuickBooks Online, and Acumatica, another commonly used software in the landscape industry. API integrations with other accounting systems are also available to enterprise-level clients. The platform pushes limited data such as vendor invoice information, A/R deposits, and end-of-month P&L data for every division to your accounting system instead of performing a two-way sync. This eliminates syncing errors and ensures your reporting is accurate and reliable.
