Landscape billing software for invoices and payments

Business Genie is landscape billing software in the same app your crews are scheduled and routed in. Maintenance and repairs are invoiced from the property when the crew is done; install work goes out as a proposal that takes a deposit.

Sample data, each invoice drawn to one scale: the day the landscaping page routes, with the 11:25 call. Prices, invoice numbers and when and how each customer paid are illustrative; deposits are 25%.

Sent

Invoiced from the property

A landscaping invoice should leave with the truck, not wait for Friday’s paperwork. In Business Genie the invoice is sent from the iOS or Android app when the crew finishes, or from the web — in the same app the crews are scheduled and routed in.

In the sample day each property is invoiced a minute after the crew is done: the hedges on Cottonwood Ln at 7:38 am, the granite on Saguaro Blvd at 2:12 pm.

Deposit

Deposits on design and install work

Landscaping bills two ways. Maintenance visits and repairs are billed on the spot. Design, planting and hardscape work is sold first, and its mulch, rock and plants are bought before they go on the trailer. That work goes out as an estimate or proposal, which in Business Genie can ask for a deposit; the invoice after the job is for the rest.

In the sample day, 3 of the 7 jobs were sold on a proposal, and $535 of the day’s billing was paid before the truck left the yard.

Paid by

Paid by card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo or Cash App

Customers pay the invoice by card, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo or Cash App, whichever they have.

In the sample day all five were used, and 6 of the 7 invoices were paid the same day. The last, sent at 3:06 pm from Agave Ct, was still open when the day ended.

QuickBooks Online

Syncs with QuickBooks Online

Business Genie syncs with QuickBooks Online, so the books stay in the accounting software you, or your bookkeeper, already use.

In the sample day the invoice numbers run #2038 to #2044, in the order the truck reached each property.
