THE CHALLENGE

  • Quoting was happening on evenings and weekends, with the owner pricing every job manually.
  • Crew schedules lived on a whiteboard and were rebuilt by phone every time a job slipped.
  • Subcontractor and material costs were captured weeks after the fact, killing job-level profitability data.

THE SOLUTION

  • Landscape Flow took over quoting, scheduling and crew dispatch from a single mobile-first system.
  • AI-assisted take-off pulled quantities from drawings and site photos, cutting quote time by 70%.
  • Live job cost capture (labour, plant, materials) gave the owner real margin per job for the first time.

"I used to quote in the evenings after the kids were in bed. Now quotes go out the same afternoon and I actually know which jobs make money."
