[ For Landscaping Companies ]
RUN YOUR CREWS. NOT YOUR PHONE.
Every morning you're dispatching 3 crews, answering the same questions by text, and hoping everyone shows up to the right property. OPS puts your schedule, job notes, and crew assignments in one place — so your foremen lead, not wait.

[ THE PROBLEM ]
Your schedule lives in too many places
- • Route changes texted to 6 different numbers every morning
- • Crew shows up to a job that got cancelled yesterday
- • Foreman calls asking for the gate code you already sent twice
- • Last-minute rain days blow up the whole week with no easy way to rebuild it
For: Owner-operators and office managers running 2–10 crews
No one knows what's actually done in the field
- • Jobs marked "done" by text — no photos, no proof, no timestamps
- • Clients call to complain about something you can't verify
- • Mulch and materials get used with zero accountability
- • End of week you're reconstructing hours from memory
For: Landscape contractors managing maintenance routes and install crews simultaneously
Spring slams you every year — and you're never ready
- • Crew count doubles in April and onboarding is pure chaos
- • New hires don't know property layouts, client preferences, or where the equipment lives
- • Estimates piling up while you're too deep in operations to quote new work
- • Equipment breakdowns during peak season with no documented service history
For: Seasonal landscaping companies scaling from 5 to 20+ crew members
[ THE SOLUTION ]
HOW OPS HANDLES IT
[ 01 ]
One schedule. Every crew. Real time.
Build your week on a drag-and-drop board, assign jobs to specific crews, and push updates instantly. When it rains Thursday, reschedule everything in minutes — not an hour of texts. Your foremen see their route the moment you publish it, and gate codes, site notes, and client instructions travel with the job, not in your head.
[ 02 ]
Field crews check in. You see everything.
Every job close includes a photo, a timestamp, and a status — completed, skipped, issue flagged. No more he-said she-said with clients. No more guessing whether the crew hit that property before 3pm. Material usage logs to the job automatically so you know exactly where your mulch and fertilizer went at the end of the month.
[ 03 ]
New crew member. Day-one ready.
Every property in OPS carries its full history — mow height preference, chemical sensitivities, gate codes, parking notes, photos of the last service. A new hire opens the app and knows what to do before their boots hit the turf. Stop briefing the same properties every spring. Let the app carry the institutional knowledge your foremen currently hold in their heads.
[ 04 ]
Equipment tracked. Surprises cut.
Log service dates, attach photos of damage, and flag equipment that needs attention before it fails mid-season. When a mower goes down on a Monday morning, you know which backup is available and which crew can absorb the route. No more losing a full day because the shop didn't know the zero-turn had been running rough for two weeks.
