Built for Landscapers and Lawn Care

The CRM landscapers run the whole yard out of.

Landscaping and lawn care is a route business, a weather business, a crew business, and a design-build business all at once. A good CRM for a landscaper is the one that holds the recurring mow route, the one-off clean-up, the irrigation install, and the fall patio build on the same account record, with one bill, one admin surface, and one crew board the Monday morning stand-up actually runs off.

What this audience is actually dealing with

The pains that bring buyers here.

Running a landscaping or lawn care company looks simple from the outside and never is from the inside. One side of the business is the recurring maintenance book: 200 mow accounts on a Monday route, 150 on Tuesday, fertilization rounds overlaid on a six-visit schedule, and crews that need to hit twenty-plus stops a day without stacking windshield time. The other side is the design-build or install revenue: a $38,000 paver patio quote this week, an irrigation retrofit next week, a fall landscape refresh the week after. Then weather blows the week out, a crew member calls in sick on Tuesday, a customer calls Friday asking why the lawn was not cut, and the whole thing lives in a mix of a route sheet, a QuickBooks file, a Jobber or ServiceAutopilot subscription, three spreadsheets, and the owner head. The five pains below show up on every landscaper buyer call we have run, and they are consistent across pure-play lawn care operators, full-service landscape maintenance, design-build firms, and hybrid shops. If any of them look familiar, the rest of the page shows how Strkr collapses the recurring route, the one-off estimate book, and the crew dispatch into one workspace where the account, the schedule, and the invoice all live on the same record.

Route sheet lives on paper

Monday morning is a paper route sheet and a prayer.

The office prints a route sheet Sunday night. By 10 AM Monday a crew truck is at a customer who moved out, a different crew is doing a stop the office already told the customer was skipped, and the owner is on the phone to the foreman trying to re-sequence from the parking lot of a hardware store. Strkr route boards are live, address-aware, and sync to the crew phone. A reschedule, a skip, or a crew swap updates the board, the invoice, and the customer confirmation in one move so Monday morning starts with everyone looking at the same route.

Weather kills the week

One rainy day knocks the whole week into the weekend.

Tuesday rains out. The Tuesday mow route pushes to Wednesday. Wednesday now has 60 stops instead of 25. The crew works until dark Wednesday and Thursday to catch up, Friday is already full of Friday accounts, and Saturday becomes a working day for the second time this month. Strkr AI reads the weather forecast against the route, flags the stops that should shift two days early, and lets the owner approve a bulk reschedule with one tap that notifies customers, re-sequences crews by zip code, and keeps the week recoverable.

Estimates and recurring split across two systems

Mow accounts in one app, patio quotes in another.

The lawn care side runs on a route-focused app. The design-build side runs on a quoting tool, a shared drive of PDF estimates, or a tab in QuickBooks. The customer who gets a weekly mow and asked for a paver patio quote exists twice, and the office spends twenty minutes a day reconciling which Mike Johnson in which system is the real one. Strkr keeps the recurring maintenance schedule, the one-off estimate book, the proposal PDFs, and the invoicing on one account record with one customer identity.

Crew time is a mystery

I pay the crew for 40 hours and bill the customer for 22.

Crew hours do not reconcile to billable hours. The foreman says the Peterson property took three hours, the time clock says the crew was there two and a half, the invoice assumes the standard ninety minutes. Nobody knows which number is right. Strkr crew check-in geo-stamps the start and end on each stop, feeds a per-property labor rollup, and lights up the properties that chronically run over their quoted window so pricing or scope can be corrected on the next renewal.

Payment collection is a side job

The owner spends Thursday night chasing invoices.

The lawn is mowed Monday. The invoice goes out Thursday. Tuesday the customer asks for a copy. Friday the owner texts a reminder. Next Monday the invoice is still unpaid, and the next mow is already due. Strkr invoicing fires on job completion, routes to the customer with autopay-enrolled accounts charged automatically, and surfaces the overdue list on a single collections view so the Thursday night chase shrinks to a ten-minute Friday morning pass.

Design-build hand-off gap

A patio sale closes and the install crew starts from zero.

The sales rep walks the yard, drafts the paver patio quote, closes the $38,000 install, and the install crew shows up two weeks later with no site photos, no plant schedule, no utility locate confirmation, no customer preference notes. Everything the rep learned on the walk evaporates. Strkr fires a flow at the Closed Won stage that spins up a project in Projects, carries over the site photos, scope, plant schedule, and preference notes, auto-creates install tasks, and pulls the foreman into the handoff thread automatically.

How Strkr fits the landscape day

The daily primitives landscapers actually use.

Strkr for landscapers and lawn care is not a different product than Strkr for a construction firm or a professional services shop. It is the same CRM with industry-specific views, flows, and defaults that make the landscape operator day cleaner. Everything below ships on every paid tier with no premium module or add-on gate. The primitives are shaped around what a real landscape owner-operator or office manager repeats every week: building the week route, dispatching the crew, closing the one-off estimate, invoicing the completed stop, and keeping the recurring book healthy for next season. When those five motions happen in one workspace with one record of truth, the office finally spends the week on the next job instead of stitching the picture back together after every rain delay.

Route board

The route the crew actually drives.

Column-per-day or column-per-crew route board grouped by zip code, service type, or crew. Drag a stop between days and the flow checks capacity, triggers the customer notification, and resequences the day by shortest-drive logic. Density toggle, color-by-service, and group-by-crew live on the board so the dispatcher builds the view that matches today without a software rebuild.

Account record

One record holds the whole property.

The account record pulls in the recurring service schedule, prior invoices, property photos, gate codes, pet notes, irrigation zone map, lawn chemical history, estimate pipeline for new work, and the design-build project if there is one in flight. A sidebar renders role-aware so the dispatcher sees schedule fields and the sales rep sees pipeline fields on the same record without a tab switch.

Service agreement

Recurring contracts captured as living records.

Every maintenance account carries a service agreement record with frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly), scope checklist, seasonal window (April to October), price per visit or per month, and renewal date. Strkr renews the agreement automatically with a configurable price-bump rule and surfaces renewal churn risk on the dashboard before the season starts.

Estimate pipeline

The one-off work in a stage board.

A separate pipeline for one-off estimates: Walk Scheduled, Estimate Sent, Follow-Up, Accepted, Scheduled, Completed, Invoiced. Stage entry criteria enforce the required artifact (site photos, measured scope, deposit terms) at each move. The owner sees the open estimate dollar amount in the pipeline header so the Tuesday sales huddle happens off the live number.

Crew dispatch

Dispatch the crew with a text, not a phone tree.

Dispatch messages fire from the route board to the crew app or by SMS. Each stop carries the address, gate code, scope checklist, prior service notes, and the before-photo requirement. The foreman marks the stop started and completed with geo-stamp and photo attachment, and the office sees the day roll up in real time.

Mobile for the yard

Edit the account from the truck.

Strkr mobile is first-class with offline queue, voice-note capture, before-and-after photo attach, estimate drafting, and crew check-in. The sales rep walking a property opens the account on the phone, snaps six photos, voice-notes the plant list, drafts the estimate on the drive back, and the whole thing syncs when they reconnect at the shop.

Customer portal

A link the customer actually uses.

Each customer gets a portal link with upcoming visits, visit history with before-and-after photos, open balance, autopay management, and a message thread back to the office. The Friday afternoon call volume ("when are you coming") drops hard because the portal shows the answer, and the office spends the time on the next sale instead.

The route board a landscaper can run from

Scheduling built for weather, crews, and reality.

The route board is where landscape work actually happens. Most CRMs give a calendar and call it done. Strkr route is a native workspace with per-crew lanes, weather overlay, drive-time sequencing, Strkr AI reschedule recommendations, and a day-of status roll that the dispatcher runs the morning stand-up off. The office spends time on the two trucks that need help, not on building spreadsheets at 6 AM to figure out who is where. Owners see the same surface and roll up without re-running the math at the end of the week.

Per-crew lanes

Each crew runs its own column.

Every active crew (Crew 1 maintenance, Crew 2 maintenance, Install crew, Chemical tech, Irrigation tech) runs its own column on the daily board. Stops drag between columns to re-crew a stop on the fly. Capacity at the top of each column shows planned hours versus crew capacity so overbooked days flag themselves before the week starts.

Weather overlay

The forecast lands on the week view.

The week view overlays rain probability, temperature, and wind by day. Days with mow-blocking rain surface a reschedule prompt. Chemical application days surface a wind-advisory flag. The dispatcher sees the weekly plan against the actual forecast and reschedules proactively instead of reactively.

Drive-time sequencing

The stop order the crew actually drives.

Routes auto-sequence by shortest-drive from the shop or from the prior stop. The foreman sees the stop order on the mobile route and the office sees the predicted route finish time on the board. Manual overrides are honored so a VIP account always gets the first slot or a shady lawn gets the last afternoon slot per customer preference.

Reschedule flow

One tap to shift a day, with customer notifications.

A rained-out Tuesday reschedules to Wednesday or Thursday with one tap. The flow updates the route board, re-sequences the destination day by drive-time, fires customer notifications (SMS or email per customer preference), and surfaces the capacity-overflow stops that need to shift further out. The twenty phone calls the office used to make shrink to a confirmation review.

Day-of status roll

What is done, what is in progress, what is late.

The day-of status view shows every scheduled stop with status (not started, in progress, completed, skipped, needs return) and the geo-stamp of the crew check-in. The dispatcher spots the lagging crew at 11 AM and sends a helper or pulls a stop forward to tomorrow. The owner stops guessing at the end of the day.

Season roll

The week, the month, the season on one view.

Route rolls from the stop up through day, week, month, and season. Any view in the hierarchy supports stop count, revenue per stop, labor hours, and completion percent columns. Season selectors cover the operating window (April to November in most markets) without a report rebuild.

Capacity planning

How many crews do I need next March.

Every service agreement loads a per-visit labor estimate. The capacity planner rolls the recurring book against the operating window to show weeks that will exceed current crew capacity. The owner sees the Memorial Day week overload in February and hires accordingly, instead of discovering the overload the week it happens.

Recurring maintenance book

The recurring work the business actually depends on.

The recurring maintenance book is the bedrock. Weekly mows, bi-weekly cuts in the shoulder season, six-step fertilization rounds, spring and fall clean-ups, mulch installs, aeration and overseeding, holiday lighting, snow removal where the climate requires it. A landscape CRM has to hold the recurring schedule, enforce the scope at each visit, and keep the renewal cadence running without a Friday night spreadsheet pass. Strkr treats the recurring book as a first-class record type, not a repeating calendar event, so the business can price, deliver, invoice, and renew with the office running on numbers instead of memory.

Service agreement record

The contract is a record, not a PDF in a drawer.

Each recurring account has a service agreement with frequency, scope checklist, seasonal window, pricing, payment method on file, autopay toggle, and renewal date. The record is the source of truth for scheduling, invoicing, and renewal. No more hunting for the signed PDF to answer whether the Petersons pay $45 or $55 per cut.

Visit log

Every visit logged against the agreement.

Every scheduled visit lands on the agreement log with crew, start and finish geo-stamps, scope checklist completion, before-and-after photos, chemical application record if applicable, and notes. The log is the audit trail the customer sees in the portal and the chemical application record the state requires.

Scope enforcement

The crew checks off the scope on the record.

A standard mow visit requires mow, edge, trim, and blow. A full-service visit adds bed-edge touch-up and shrub maintenance. The crew checks off scope items on the mobile check-out. Missed items trigger a return-visit flow or a customer discount per policy, so the office never finds out two weeks later that a step got skipped on four accounts.

Chemical compliance

EPA and state chemical records on the account.

For lawn care operators running fertilization and weed control, Strkr captures the applicator license, product applied, EPA number, concentration, square footage treated, weather at application, and signature. The state audit pack generates from the record with one click, and the chemical history on each lawn is on the account record for the next visit.

Renewal cadence

Renewals do not fall through the cracks.

Every agreement surfaces a renewal task 60 days before season end. Strkr drafts the renewal with the configured price bump, routes to the owner or sales rep for review, sends the renewal to the customer with signature capture, and flips the agreement to the new season on acceptance. Renewal churn surfaces as a dashboard metric so the slip is visible before the schedule gets built.

Add-on offers

Upsells land on the record, not in the office head.

A dormant mow account that is a candidate for aeration, mulch, or a fall clean-up surfaces as an upsell task to the sales rep. The rep sees the recommended add-on with suggested price, drafts the quote in one click, and the customer accepts from the portal. Upsell revenue per account becomes a measured number instead of a guess.

Autopay enrollment

Autopay drops Days Sales Outstanding.

The service agreement captures the preferred payment method with ACH, card, or paper check. Autopay-enrolled accounts charge automatically on the configured day. Paper-check accounts flag themselves for the Thursday collections run. DSO drops because 70% of the book pays itself and the office works the 30% that needs attention.

Design-build and install pipeline

The one-off work the recurring book funds.

Alongside the recurring book sits the one-off estimate pipeline: paver patios, retaining walls, landscape designs, irrigation installs, drainage work, outdoor kitchens, fall color installs, tree work. These jobs are the margin, the renewal fuel, and the referral engine, and they live on a sales motion that looks a lot like B2B deal flow. Strkr runs the one-off book as a dedicated pipeline, with stage criteria, deposit tracking, proposal drafting, and a post-close hand-off to a Projects module where the install crew runs the job without rebuilding the picture.

Lead intake

A web form, a referral, a drive-by on the account.

Inbound leads land on the account record if the account exists, or a new account if the lead is fresh. The source is captured (web form, referral, drive-by, upsell from existing account) so the Monday sales huddle can see which channels are producing. No lead sits in an email inbox for a week.

Walk scheduled

The walk is a scheduled event on the account.

The sales rep schedules the property walk with the customer. The walk shows up on the sales calendar and on the account timeline. A reminder fires 24 hours before. The customer gets a confirmation. The rep arrives with the gate code, prior visit notes, and prior estimate history on the mobile app.

Estimate drafting

Draft the quote from the yard, not from the office.

During the walk the rep snaps photos, voice-notes the scope, measures with the mobile measuring tool or AR tool, and drafts the estimate line by line. Material cost pulls from the item catalog. Labor cost pulls from the configured hourly rate. Margin is visible to the rep inline so no quote goes out underpriced.

Proposal PDF

A proposal that looks like the business, not a stack of numbers.

The estimate renders as a branded proposal PDF with cover photo of the property, scope narrative, line items, visuals of material options, terms, and signature block. The customer gets the proposal in the portal with e-signature capture. Accepted proposals flip the stage and fire the deposit invoice automatically.

Deposit tracking

The deposit lands before the material lands.

Standard terms require a deposit (typically 30 to 50%) before scheduling. Strkr fires the deposit invoice on acceptance, holds the install slot pending payment, and surfaces the deposit-not-paid list on the dashboard. Material ordering waits on the deposit so the business never floats a $12,000 patio stack on an unpaid deposit.

Install hand-off

Install crew gets the full picture, not a Post-it note.

Change order flow

Scope changes captured against the install.

During the install the customer adds four more shrubs or asks for an upgraded capstone. The foreman logs the change order on the mobile app, Strkr drafts the change order PDF, routes to the customer for signature, and the install resumes with the approved change order on the record. The surprise charge at the end of the install does not happen.

Flows for the landscape operation

Automations that cover the full lawn care and install day.

The best landscape operations are not the ones with the biggest crews; they are the ones that automate the quiet administrative drag and spend their hours on the next sale and the next renewal. Strkr Flows handle the dozen automations every lawn care and landscape team should run, and each one ships as a native trigger with no webhook plumbing or glue code. The pattern below is what shows up in week two of every deployment, and it is the pattern that quietly compounds into a cleaner route, less lost revenue, and faster collections.

Weather watch

Tomorrow is a wash, reschedule now.

A nightly flow reads the forecast for the next three days against the route. Days with over 70% precipitation surface a reschedule recommendation to the dispatcher. One tap approves the shift, re-sequences the backup day, and fires customer notifications. The office stops making 60 reschedule calls on Tuesday morning.

Visit complete

Visit completion fires the invoice and the photo set.

Crew check-out on a visit flips the stop to completed, generates the invoice for pay-per-visit customers, attaches the before-and-after photos to the customer portal, and triggers the review-request flow for customers who signaled satisfaction. The office does not have to touch the invoice.

Autopay charge

Autopay fires on the configured day.

Monthly or per-visit charges fire on the configured day against the saved payment method. Successful charges log to the account. Declined cards surface on a dedicated recovery view with a one-click retry and a customer email asking for an updated card. Collections stops being a chase.

Overdue escalation

Overdue invoices escalate on a schedule.

Invoices unpaid at 15, 30, and 45 days fire a graduated reminder sequence (friendly, firm, pre-collection). The 60-day balance surfaces to the owner for a decision on service hold. The office spends ten minutes a week on the collection pass instead of three hours.

Renewal push

Season-end triggers the renewal pass.

Sixty days before season end, Strkr drafts a renewal for every active agreement with the configured price bump, routes to the owner for review, sends to the customer with signature capture, and flips the agreement to the new season on acceptance. Renewal churn becomes a measurable number before the next season starts.

Install Closed Won

Project spins up in Projects with the estimate context carried over.

A one-off estimate hitting Closed Won fires a flow that creates a project in Strkr Projects, maps the scope to the task list, carries the site photos and preference notes, assigns the install foreman, and surfaces the project on the account record. The install crew does not rebuild the picture.

Review ask

Satisfied customers get asked at the right moment.

A visit completion with a satisfaction tag fires a review request 24 hours later, routed through SMS or email per customer preference, with a direct link to the Google Business Profile. Review volume climbs because the ask lands in the window where the customer still remembers the before-and-after.

What the landscape owner sees

Views that make Friday close-out fast.

A good landscape owner coaches on three specific crews and three specific accounts a week, not on all 400 on the roster. Strkr surfaces the data the owner needs to run a short, specific Friday close-out without the dispatcher feeling surveilled, because the same views are available to the office and the owner with the same filters. The views below ship as default saved views for the owner role on every tenant and can be duplicated and personalised without an admin ticket.

Crew roll

Each crew on one row with stops, revenue, and hours.

The Friday crew view puts every crew on one row with stops completed, revenue produced, labor hours, and completion percent against planned. The owner sees the full roll in one scroll and drills into the specific stops behind any cell. Reviewing six crews takes ten minutes, not an hour.

Open balance

The receivables aging in one view.

The open-balance view surfaces every account with an unpaid invoice bucketed by 0-15, 16-30, 31-60, and 60+ days. One click to open the account, one click to fire a reminder, one click to escalate. The Friday afternoon collections pass takes 15 minutes and the DSO number is on the dashboard.

Estimate pipeline

The one-off work in dollars.

The pipeline view shows every open estimate by stage with the dollar total at the top. The owner sees the Monday sales huddle number without a spreadsheet, drills into stale estimates (over 14 days in follow-up without a response), and reassigns leads that need a stronger closer on them.

Renewal risk

Accounts drifting toward churn.

The renewal-risk view surfaces active agreements with signals that predict non-renewal: missed visits, chemical no-shows, portal activity drop, past complaints, late payment history. The owner books a save call in Q1 for accounts that would otherwise cancel in Q2.

Property profitability

The accounts that make money and the ones that do not.

Per-account profitability rolls crew hours (geo-stamped), chemical cost, material cost, and revenue to a margin number per account. The owner surfaces the bottom 10% at season end and either re-prices on renewal or declines the renewal. The business stops subsidising unprofitable lawns with margin from profitable ones.

Review-request pipeline

Reviews requested, received, and public.

Every review ask is tracked from send through click-through to posted review. The owner sees the conversion rate on review asks and the net new Google reviews per month. The marketing team can tune the ask timing and template without rebuilding a report.

Head-to-head

Strkr for landscapers vs Jobber plus ServiceAutopilot plus QuickBooks.

A typical landscape or lawn care tech stack runs Jobber or ServiceAutopilot for route and scheduling, QuickBooks for invoicing, a separate payment processor, a chemical compliance tool for lawn care operators, Google Sheets for the design-build estimate pipeline, and a chain of SMS and voicemail for crew dispatch. Strkr collapses most of that into a single workspace with one bill, one admin surface, and one record of truth for every property.

How teams use Strkr

How landscape teams run Strkr.

The patterns below show up across landscape and lawn care operators from 2-crew owner-operators through 15-crew design-build-maintenance hybrids. The common thread: collapse the route, the one-off estimate book, the invoicing, and the hand-off into one surface so the office spends time on the next sale and the next renewal, not on stitching the picture together after every rain delay. Each playbook is a real motion a Strkr landscape team runs today.

2-crew lawn care operator

Pure-play mow route with autopay and renewal cadence.

A 2-crew lawn care operator running 220 recurring mow accounts moved off a Jobber plus QuickBooks setup. The service agreement record captured every account on the renewal cadence, autopay enrollment hit 68% in the first season (up from a mix of paper checks and manual card charges), and the Friday collections pass shrunk from three hours to 20 minutes. Renewal churn dropped from 14% to 8% in the first season because the 60-day renewal pass surfaced the drift accounts in time for a save call.

6-crew landscape maintenance

Route board with weather overlay and crew dispatch.

A 6-crew landscape maintenance company running recurring mow, fertilization rounds, mulch installs, and shoulder-season clean-ups ran the full route board with weather overlay. A rain-forecast flow saved a chaotic Memorial Day week by surfacing the reschedule on Sunday night, re-sequencing Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday with notifications firing before anyone complained. Crew check-in geo-stamps surfaced two chronic underpriced properties that were re-priced on renewal, adding $4,800 to the following season.

4-crew design-build hybrid

Recurring maintenance plus one-off patio pipeline.

A design-build-maintenance hybrid ran the recurring book on service agreements and the one-off work on the estimate pipeline. One sales rep covered walks and quotes, and the install crew handed off from the maintenance crew via Strkr Projects at Closed Won. The hand-off saved the install crew an average of 90 minutes per project rebuilding the picture, and the deposit-tracking flow eliminated two incidents of material ordering ahead of unpaid deposits.

Lawn care with chemical compliance

Fertilization and weed control with EPA audit pack.

A lawn care operator running six-step fertilization and weed control captured every application against the account with EPA number, product, concentration, weather, applicator license, and signature. The state audit pack generated in one click when the state inspector showed up, and the chemical history on each lawn drove the next application without the tech having to call the office. Chemical over-application incidents dropped to zero in year one.

15-crew multi-service operator

Full-service across maintenance, install, irrigation, and snow.

A 15-crew operator running maintenance, design-build install, irrigation service, and winter snow removal split the route board by service type and crew. Capacity planning rolled the recurring book against the operating window and surfaced two weeks in June that needed an additional helper. The hire happened in April, and the June overflow that would have cost a weekend of overtime pay was absorbed on straight time.

Common questions

What buyers in this bucket ask most.

Can Strkr replace Jobber or ServiceAutopilot for a landscape or lawn care company?

For most landscape and lawn care operators under 500 recurring accounts and under 20 crews, yes. Strkr covers route scheduling with per-crew lanes and weather overlay, service agreements for the recurring book, estimate pipeline for one-off work, mobile crew check-in with geo-stamps and photos, invoicing with autopay, customer portal, chemical compliance records, renewal cadence, and the design-build hand-off to Projects. For teams running Jobber or ServiceAutopilot for 5+ years with deep custom reports and integrations, the migration cost is real and the comparison is less about features and more about switching cost. Strkr has a native CSV and API migration path that preserves the account book, service history, and chemical records, so the switching cost is quantifiable up front.

How does the Strkr route board handle weather and reschedules?

The week view overlays rain probability, temperature, and wind by day from the forecast. A nightly flow reads the forecast for the next three days against the route and surfaces reschedule recommendations to the dispatcher. One tap approves the shift, re-sequences the destination day by drive-time, fires customer notifications (SMS or email per customer preference), and surfaces the capacity-overflow stops that need to shift further out. Days with mow-blocking rain, chemical-blocking wind, or heat-advisory conditions all surface the same way. The office stops making 60 reschedule calls on Tuesday morning and runs a confirmation review instead.

How does Strkr handle recurring service agreements versus one-off estimates?

Recurring and one-off live on the same account record but drive separate motions. The service agreement record holds the recurring contract (frequency, scope checklist, seasonal window, pricing, autopay toggle, renewal date) and drives the route scheduling and recurring invoicing. The estimate pipeline runs the one-off work (walks, estimates, proposal PDFs, deposit tracking, install scheduling) with stage criteria and stage-entry enforcement. A customer with a weekly mow and a $38,000 paver patio quote exists once on one account, with both motions visible on the account timeline. The office stops reconciling two systems.

Does Strkr handle chemical compliance for fertilization and weed control?

Yes. Strkr captures the applicator license, product applied, EPA number, concentration, square footage treated, weather at application, and signature on every chemical visit. The chemical history on each lawn is on the account record for the next visit. The state audit pack generates with one click when the state inspector shows up. The record format meets the common state and EPA requirements for pesticide application records. For operators in states with unique recordkeeping templates, Strkr Custom Fields and Layouts let the office extend the application record to match the state template without a software build.

What is the design-build install hand-off?

At Closed Won, a flow creates a project in Strkr Projects, maps the estimate scope to the install task list, carries the site photos, plant schedule, utility-locate confirmation, customer preference notes, and gate codes to the project, assigns the install foreman, and surfaces the project on the account record. The install crew walks in with everything the sales rep learned on the property walk, instead of a Post-it note on the dispatcher desk. The foreman runs the install off the project, logs change orders on the mobile app, and the account record shows the install progress alongside the recurring maintenance schedule.

How does autopay and collections work?

Each service agreement captures the preferred payment method (ACH, card, or paper check) with autopay enrollment. Monthly or per-visit charges fire on the configured day against the saved payment method. Successful charges log to the account. Declined cards surface on a dedicated recovery view with a one-click retry and a customer email asking for an updated card. Paper-check accounts flag themselves for the Thursday collections pass. Invoices unpaid at 15, 30, and 45 days fire a graduated reminder sequence (friendly, firm, pre-collection). The 60-day balance surfaces to the owner for a decision on service hold. Days Sales Outstanding becomes a managed number, and the Thursday night chase shrinks to a ten-minute Friday morning pass.

Does Strkr work offline on the crew mobile app?

Yes. Strkr mobile is first-class with offline queue. The crew pulls the day route to the device at the start of the shift, works through the stops with crew check-in, scope checklist completion, before-and-after photo attach, and change order drafting all stored locally. When the device reconnects (end of shift at the shop, lunch at a coffee stop, or just coming out of a dead zone), the queue flushes to the server and the office board updates. The crew never has to fight a bad signal in a rural subdivision to log a completed stop.
