Turn a growing route into a controlled operation

Plan recurring lawn routes, dispatch crews, track materials and labor, optimize stops, and invoice customers from one landscaping business platform.

Operating pressure

Where growth starts to strain the operation

01

Drive time consumes production

The order of stops can determine whether a crew finishes the route or pushes work into tomorrow.

02

Seasonal schedules keep changing

Recurring service, pauses, rain delays, and crew changes create a calendar that needs fast adjustment.

03

Materials hide inside gross revenue

Mulch, treatments, disposal, equipment, and labor need to land against the job to show real margin.

What FieldTempo does for landscaping operations

Every item below was checked against the current FieldTempo product implementation. Availability varies by plan.

Recurring route schedules

Generate repeat work automatically and pause, resume, or reschedule when the season changes.

Dispatch map and routing

Map technicians and jobs, assign from dispatch, and optimize up to 12 stops through Mapbox with a heuristic fallback beyond that.

Property records

Keep gate codes, notes, service history, square footage, and geocoded addresses attached to the property.

Inventory and purchase orders

Track stock by location, low-stock levels, suppliers, purchase orders, and materials consumed on jobs.

Crew time

Clock time to jobs, record breaks, and calculate labor cost using owner-controlled worker cost rates.

Recurring billing

Invoice each service or consolidate billing on the cadence chosen for each client.

Measure the operation, not a marketing promise

FieldTempo does not guarantee a fixed improvement. These KPIs show whether your own process is becoming more productive and profitable.

Open the benchmark methodology

Revenue per route hour

completed-job revenue ÷ route and service hours

Makes route density visible in financial terms.

Jobs completed per crew day

completed jobs ÷ crew workdays

Tracks capacity without rewarding longer hours alone.

Material-adjusted margin

(revenue − labor − materials − expenses) ÷ revenue

Separates high-revenue work from genuinely profitable work.

Questions

Landscaping software FAQ

Does FieldTempo optimize lawn care routes?

Yes. Business plans include mapped dispatch and per-technician route ordering. Mapbox optimization is used for routes up to 12 stops, with an internal nearest-neighbor and 2-opt fallback for larger routes.

Can I track fertilizer, mulch, and other job materials?

Yes. Inventory can be tracked by location and consumed against jobs so material cost flows into job profitability.

Can recurring services be paused?

Yes. Recurring schedules can be paused and resumed, and future generated jobs can be adjusted as operating conditions change.
