TRADE TIME HQ™

Trade Time HQ for landscaping

Landscaping software built around your crews.

We take the route sheet your crews already carry, the way your office schedules properties, and the way finished visits are checked and billed, and build them into one system. The crew lead sees today's properties in order, ticks off the work, logs materials and photos, and the office sees the hours and what was done.

  • Built on your own forms
  • Written quote before anything starts
  • Runs beside your paper until you trust it

What exists today and what is built for you

Runs every day today

The foundation every build starts from is Saw Time, our product for concrete cutting, in daily use: time cards with pay rules, job tickets signed on the phone, a dispatch day board, each worker's jobs on his phone, truck GPS, quotes and safety paperwork.

Built for your landscaping company

Landscaping is not a finished product today. The landscaping screens on this page are an example configuration with sample data. What gets built for you, from that foundation, is written into your quote before any work starts.

Landscaping: every property, every visit

Example configuration

Recurring visits land on the crew's phone with the property and the checklist. The crew ticks off the work, logs materials and photos the finished beds, and the office sees the hours and what was done.

  • Property visits
  • Recurring service
  • Crew
  • Visit date
  • Mow, prune, mulch checklist
  • Materials
  • Crew hours
  • Completion photos

Residential, commercial, installs

Three kinds of landscaping work, three kinds of paperwork

A weekly yard, an HOA's common areas and a new backyard install are tracked differently. A build follows the paperwork your company uses for each.

Residential maintenance

One home, a regular visit, and the same crew most weeks.

  • Weekly or every-other-week visits by route
  • Gate code and property notes on the phone
  • The visit checklist for that yard
  • Skipped or rained-out visits marked, not lost
  • Before and after photos

Example line: Mowed, edged, blew walks; front bed weeded; sprinkler head on zone 3 replaced.

Availability: example configuration. Scoped and quoted with you; not a finished product today.

Commercial and HOA

A contract, several areas on one property, and a manager who checks the work.

  • Areas of a property, each with its own scope
  • The contract's visit frequency and season
  • Crew hours by property, for job costing
  • Extra work noted separately from the contract
  • Property manager sign-off when needed

Example line: Sample HOA, area 2: mowed, pruned, blew; mulch moved to next visit; 3 crew, 7.5 hrs.

Availability: example configuration. Scoped and quoted with you; not a finished product today.

Installs and enhancements

A one-time project: approved, built over days, then signed off.

  • The approved scope from your estimate
  • Materials delivered and used, by project
  • Crew hours by day
  • Progress and finished photos
  • Customer signs when it's done

Example line: Backyard install, day 2: 14 shrubs and 3 trees planted, drip line run, 4 yd³ rock spread.

Availability: example configuration. Scoped and quoted with you; not a finished product today.

What each person sees

The crew, dispatch and the office

Marked by what runs today in Saw Time and what would be built for your landscaping company.

What the crew lead sees

  • The day's stops, in order
  • Directions in the phone's own maps, and tap to call
  • The visit already filled with what the office typed
  • Photos, notes and a customer's signature when one is needed
  • Big buttons and a 4-digit PIN that stays signed in for weeks
  • Taps saved with no signal, sent when it comes back
  • Your checklist for each property
  • Your materials list to pick from: mulch, plants, rock

What the office sees when scheduling

  • A day board by crew or truck, stops in order, moved as needed
  • Status that changes when the crew taps
  • The day's stops on a map
  • Truck GPS beside the stops, where trackers are fitted
  • A warning on customers the office has put on hold
  • Recurring visits laid out by route and week
  • Rain days moved your way

What the office sees after

  • Finished visits arrive with photos and notes
  • Prices entered beside the record, never on it
  • A list of finished work not yet billed

From first call to go-live

Discovery, scope, quote, setup, rollout

Five steps, and you check the work at each one. These are the same commitments we make on every build.

  1. Discovery

    A call or a visit. Bring a route sheet and a work order and how a day really runs: who schedules, who sends the crews out, how work gets priced and billed.

    You check: that we've understood your day before anything is written down.

  2. Written scope

    What we'll build, in plain words: the forms, the screens and the rules, from what we learned in discovery.

    You check: that it describes your company.

  3. Quote

    The monthly price and any build fee on their own lines, and our best estimate of the timing. Nothing is built or billed until you agree to it.

    You check: the quote, before anything starts.

  4. Setup

    Your forms, your rules, your crews and trucks, your logo on what the customer signs.

    You check: each form as it takes shape, against your own paper.

  5. Rollout

    A few crews run it beside the way you work now, and the results are compared every week. The field goes first and the office when it's ready.

    You check: that it matches. You decide when the paper goes.

Every stage of a build, in detail

Questions landscaping owners ask

Straight answers

Can you match our route sheet?

Yes, that is where every build starts. We copy your route sheet and visit form box for box, in your order and your words. Saw Time's own job ticket was built the same way, from the paper pad its crews already used.

What happens to our customer and property list?

We look at where it lives today and agree in the quote what comes across. For Saw Time we brought in customers, job sites and years of invoice history from the system the company used before. What is possible for you depends on what your current system can export, and we tell you before you agree to anything.

What does the crew lead see?

The day's stops in order; directions in the phone's own map app; tap to call the customer; the visit filled with what the office typed; places for notes, photos and materials. Big buttons, a 4-digit PIN that stays signed in, and taps that wait when there is no signal. The checklists themselves are set up for your company.

How does the office check finished visits?

Finished visits arrive in the office with their photos and notes. The office enters prices beside the record, never on it. A list shows every finished visit not yet billed, and a record can go to accounting or the customer as a PDF.

What is included in our quote?

What we'll build, the monthly price and any build fee on their own lines, and our best estimate of the timing. Nothing is built or billed until you agree to it. There is no public price list, because no two companies are the same.

Which integrations are available?

None is live for landscaping today, and we would rather say so. A QuickBooks Online connection is in development and not yet in use with a live company. For anything else you use, we look at it and quote the connection. We won't promise a connection we haven't built and tested for you.

Some of my crew aren't comfortable with technology.

Usually one person a crew taps, with a few big buttons in your company's own words and a 4-digit PIN. Everything runs beside paper until it matches, so nobody is forced off what they know on day one.

What isn't available yet?

Route optimisation, a customer portal, online payments, customer text messages and chemical application reports for state records are not built. If you need one, tell us; it would be scoped and quoted like any other part of a build.
