You know what you brought in last month. Do you know which crews made you money?
Operations and profit advisory for landscapers, lawn care, snow and cleaning companies. We know this trade - we build the scheduling and job-profitability software for it.
Sound familiar?
The signs that it's costing you.
You're quoting at night.
Estimates get done after the trucks are back, from memory and last year's numbers.
Rain wrecks the week.
One bad Tuesday and you're rebuilding the schedule by phone for three days.
You find out in April how February went.
The P&L is a history lesson, not a steering wheel.
Some jobs lose money and you don't know which.
The good accounts subsidize the bad ones and nothing tells you where the line is.
Customers leave quietly.
Nobody cancels. They just stop calling, and you notice in the spring.
The Engagement
What the first 30 days looks like.
We look at your actual numbers.
Job costing, crew hours, routes, pricing, what you bill versus what you booked.
We tell you where the money is going.
Which jobs, which crews, which customers. In dollars, not percentages.
We fix the biggest one.
Not all of it. The one that pays for the rest.
You walk out with a written picture of job-level profitability, a pricing correction if you need one, and a specific plan for the next 90 days.
Straight talk
One thing you should know up front.
I also built a software product for this industry - Route & Retain, for scheduling, route optimization and job-level profit. Sometimes it's the right answer for what I find. Often it isn't.
Plenty of the businesses I look at don't have a software problem at all. They have a pricing problem, or a billing problem, or they're doing something by hand that shouldn't be. If that's you, I'll tell you, and I'll tell you what I think you should buy instead - including the tools I didn't build.
You should know who owns what before you take anyone's recommendation.
It's later than you think
Find out which crews make you money.
Thirty minutes. We'll look at where the money's going and whether there's a fix worth making.
