Increase in upsell revenue with automated marketing

Route inefficiency costing 2 hrs/day in windshield time

Your crews are crisscrossing the county, burning fuel and billable hours.

No-show crews with no contingency system

A crew member calls out sick at 6 AM.

Seasonal service renewals slipping away

You did a great job with Mrs. Smith's aeration and overseeding last fall.

Upselling mulch/aeration/hardscape left entirely to chance

Your crews are on-site and see a perfect opportunity for a mulch refresh or a new stone patio. But they're not salespeople.

See your agents in action.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Route Optimizer handle different crew sizes and equipment for different jobs?

Yes. You can assign specific equipment (e.g., zero-turn mower, aerator) and required crew size to each job type. The optimizer uses this data to build efficient routes that ensure the right team and tools are at the right job.

How does the Marketing Agent know when to promote seasonal services like aeration?

You define the ideal service window for seasonal items in your price book (e.g., 'Aeration: Sep 1 - Oct 15'). The agent uses this to automatically trigger campaigns to relevant customers ahead of that window.

Can the Quoting Agent create quotes with both recurring services and one-time projects?

Yes. You can build a single quote that includes a recurring weekly mowing service and a one-time $5,000 patio installation, with separate pricing and terms for each.

What happens if a crew member calls out sick?

The Route Optimizer can be triggered to re-calculate the day's routes for the remaining crews. It will prioritize jobs based on customer preference or service deadlines and communicate the updated schedule to both your team and the affected customers.

Can I set the system to require my approval for quotes over a certain amount?

Yes. You can configure the Quoting Agent to run fully autonomously for routine jobs (e.g., under $500) but require your manual one-tap approval for any quote exceeding that threshold.

Does this replace my accounting software like QuickBooks?

Sterling is not an accounting system, but it integrates with them. Sterling handles all the operational work — booking, scheduling, quoting, and invoicing — and then syncs payment data to QuickBooks for your bookkeeping.

Can my crews use this on their phones?

Yes. Each crew member gets a simple mobile view of their daily route, job notes, and a button to mark jobs complete. No app store needed, it works in any mobile browser.

Can I import my existing client list?

Yes, you can import your customer list from a CSV file. The system will help you map your existing data to the correct fields in Sterling.

How long does it take to get set up?

You can be live in about 30 minutes. The process involves connecting your Google account, setting up your price book (we provide a template), and configuring your agents' autonomy levels.

Is there a free trial to see if it works for my landscaping business?

Yes, we offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. You can test the entire workflow from booking to payment before committing.

Stop leaving money on the table. Start running a smarter landscaping business.

Sterling Landscaper gives you the operational horsepower of a franchise, no matter your size. Optimize your routes, automate your sales, and get your evenings back.
