Increase in upsell revenue with automated marketing
You build beautiful landscapes. You shouldn't also have to be a route optimizer, collections agent, and marketing department.
Route inefficiency costing 2 hrs/day in windshield time
Your crews are crisscrossing the county, burning fuel and billable hours. A single optimized route could add another two jobs per day, but you're stuck with a map and a prayer. That's thousands in lost revenue per month.
No-show crews with no contingency system
A crew member calls out sick at 6 AM. Now you're scrambling to re-assign 8 mowing jobs, calling angry customers, and your whole day is shot before it even starts. There's no backup plan.
Seasonal service renewals slipping away
You did a great job with Mrs. Smith's aeration and overseeding last fall. But spring came and you forgot to follow up. A competitor landed her $1,500 renewal contract because they sent a timely email.
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. The lead is never captured, the quote is never sent, and a $4,000 hardscape job never happens.
AGENT SPOTLIGHT
See your agents in action.
Turn drive time into mow time. Every single day.
It's 9 PM. The agent analyzes tomorrow's 32 mowing and fertilization jobs, factoring in crew size, equipment, and traffic patterns. It builds the most efficient, dense routes for each of your three crews and sends them to their phones. They start the day knowing exactly where to go, in what order. You just saved $150 in fuel and added 3 billable hours to the day.
Automatically sell aeration and overseeding to last year's customers.
The agent sees that fall aeration season is 4 weeks away. It automatically generates a list of all customers who received mowing services but not aeration last year. It drafts a targeted email campaign offering a 10% early-bird discount, sending you the draft for one-tap approval. You just booked 15 high-margin jobs while you were on a job site.
Quote a 5-zone irrigation system from your truck.
You finish a walkthrough for a new irrigation install. You record a 60-second voice note: 'Mrs. Jones, 5 zones, mostly turf with two drip lines for flower beds, Hunter Pro-C controller, backflow preventer needed.' The agent transcribes it, pulls your price book items for trenching, heads, valves, and labor, and builds a formatted quote. You review and send it before you've even left the driveway.
YOUR AI TEAM
6 agents. Built for landscapers.
Front Desk Agent
Answers every call, text, and web lead 24/7. Knows the difference between a one-time mow request and a recurring full-service landscape maintenance contract. Qualifies leads based on property size and service needs, then books estimates or jobs directly on your optimized schedule.
Quoting Agent
Builds detailed, profitable estimates for everything from a single tree trimming to a full hardscape installation. Turns a voice memo from your site visit into a line-itemized quote with materials, labor, and equipment costs. Follows up automatically until the customer approves.
Route Optimizer
Builds fuel-efficient, high-density routes for your mowing, fertilization, and cleanup crews every morning. Factors in job duration, drive time, and even traffic. If a job is cancelled, it instantly finds the nearest customer on your waitlist to fill the gap, eliminating crew downtime.
Collections Agent
Automatically invoices customers the moment a job is marked complete by the crew. Sends friendly payment reminders for recurring mowing or maintenance contracts. Chases down unpaid invoices for large installation projects so you don't have to make awkward calls.
Reputation Agent
Sends a review request after a successful job, like a beautiful new patio install, when customer satisfaction is highest. Monitors your Google and Yelp profiles and drafts responses to new reviews, helping you build the 5-star reputation that wins bigger jobs.
Marketing Agent
Proactively drives business. Sees a slow week coming and launches a grub control campaign to past clients. Notices it's time for fall clean-up and sends a targeted offer to all your mowing customers. It turns your customer list into a recurring revenue engine.

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.
