Landscaping & Gardening
Run Every Property, Crew, and Invoice from One Connected System
Landscaping companies juggle two kinds of work: recurring maintenance visits and design or installation projects. Both start with a request, depend on a property and a crew, and end with an invoice that someone has to chase.
InnovanSIS helps lawn care, maintenance, irrigation, and landscape design businesses connect the estimate, the schedule, the work done, and the billing.
One property, from request to payment
Request
Website form, call, or email

The challenge
Where Landscaping Work Slips Through the Cracks
Most of these problems are not about effort. They happen because the information lives in a notebook, a text thread, and a spreadsheet at the same time.
Estimate requests go cold
A homeowner fills out a form or leaves a voicemail, and nobody owns the follow-up until the job goes to a competitor.
Crews arrive without the details
Gate codes, irrigation zones, or the areas the client asked to skip stay in someone's head instead of on the work order.
Completed visits wait to be billed
The crew finished on Tuesday, but the invoice goes out weeks later because the office has to rebuild what was done.
Fit
Two Ways of Working, One Customer Record
Recurring maintenance
Mowing, pruning, mulching, and seasonal cleanups follow a service plan per property: a frequency, a crew, and a predictable billing cycle.
Design and installation projects
New gardens, hardscape, and irrigation installs move through scope, quote, tasks, materials, and milestones before final delivery.
Both under one roof
The same client can have a weekly maintenance plan and a spring installation project, sharing one contact, one property, and one history.
Business cycle
From the First Request to the Paid Invoice
Capture the Request
Website estimate requests land in the CRM with the service type, address, and how the client prefers to be contacted, so every lead has an owner.
Visit and Evaluate
Schedule the site visit as an activity, record the property details, and move the opportunity through clear stages up to won or lost.
Quote and Approve
Send a quote from a template for maintenance or installation, with scope, frequency, exclusions, and validity. The client can review and accept it online.
Schedule the Crew
The approved quote becomes tasks on a calendar, assigned to a crew lead, with the property instructions attached and a status everyone can see.
Do the Work and Record It
Crews update the task, log time, and add notes or photos, so the office knows what was done without a phone call.
Invoice and Follow Up
Bill from the completed work, including deposits and progress payments on projects, then follow up on unpaid invoices and the next season.

FAQ
Common Questions
Yes. In Odoo Community we set up recurring tasks per property and a calendar view for the crews. Automatic recurring billing and advanced dispatch tools belong to paid editions or extensions, so we review them with you before including them in the scope.
No. You can start with a website and an estimate request form, then add the CRM and quotes, and later scheduling and billing.
Odoo works in a mobile browser, so crew leads can open their tasks, log time, and add notes. Offline use, GPS routes, and signatures in the field are evaluated case by case.
