Flobot is designed to help you run your landscape garden company
If you run a landscape garden company small or large, Flobot is software designed for you. Don't get confused with design software and CAD, this is business software that allows you to manage your customers, your employees, your contractors, your gardening teams and your office staff. Manage your landscaper team diaries, build quotes for new gardens on site if you want to and keep all your data in one place.
Flobot shows you where your landscape projects are on a map so you know where your teams should be. But there is so much more to the system. Scheduling the estimators and garden building teams, getting images and signatures back from the field to the office electronically - every day if required and invoicing the customer - among a few other things to make running your business easier.

Powerful tools to stop you making mistakes
Flobot keeps a record for ever of the manufacturer, product, batch number, plank and screw you have ever supplied to the client for their landscaping project. So you always have a record of what the customer ordered and if you use the app you have a photographic evidence of what you did and what you promised and that means you always have evidence in a dispute. A ful record of everything that took place on the job - and some nice picture fr your social media accounts.
Store your entire product price list
Build very quick quotes for your clients at home, in the office or even at the customer's property. Flobot can store all your materials, fitting, parking, waste disposal prices - both what you buy and sell them for, then send a quote instantly so the quote can be accepted on-line. A deposit invoice sent automatically and once the client has made a deposit payment the landscaper gets a project sheet and the client gets an email asking them to an select the time they would like to have the job done. Amazing!

So why do I need software for my gardening business?
Gardening companies need software to help them grow
As your landscape business grows you need help to make it scale. Software that reduces staff overheads by simplifying and automating processes. Invoicing, scheduling, quoting, estimating and managing all those parts of the business on a daily basis. Smart business owners use Flobot to help them do this.
Schedule your gardeners
Getting the right gardener to the right job at the right time can seem like an uphill battle. Flobot will schedule hundreds of gardening teams to hundreds of different locations, and only allow you to select the right landscapers with the right skill-sets for the job. So gardeners for gardening jobs, soft landscapers, lawn care operatives and garden designers for different types of work and hard landscapers for outdoor building projects. And it works just as well for one man and his gardening company as it does for a major landscaping operation.
Build fast quotes and estimates
You can quickly build professional quotes and estimates for your potential customers. What's more you can upload photos, insert technical drawings and designs into your quotes and more importantly store them against the customer record. And Flobot monitors and manages those quotations so you can win more business. Flobot even tells you when they've looked at your quote.
Task Management
Landscaping projects are a series of tasks. Getting the landscapers there on time is one thing, but materials need to be ordered at specific times and people need to be there to collect them or take delivery. That's where Flobot's task manager comes in. Easily organise the entire project on one page - visible to you, your contractor and even your customer.
Electronic Job Sheets
The landscaping project is complete and now is the time to get a signature from your customer to say they are happy with everything. That is really important for payments and invoicing. Flobot allows you to get a signature from your client into the system through a smart phone or tablet and now you have a permanent record - and no paperwork. It's called an e-sheet.
Account for it all
Flobot integrates fully with Xero, the leading accounting and on-line bookkeeping software for the businesses. So, at the end of the month you won't have to worry about endless hours of paperwork.
And it works with Xero, Sage and Quickbooks too.
The App
Flobot Field is designed to get your landscapers to the right job at the right time - and to let them know what to do when they get there.
Navigate to address
Navigate from job to job by utilizing the built in maps function then send that information to your client so they can see where your guy or gal is on the map with an estimate of the time of arrival - just like Uber.
Find your team
Flobot app sends all the field data back to the office so you can see where all your fitters and what they are doing (or not!) at any time.
Project sheets
Create a project sheet right from your quote that displays in the app that tells your gardener just what they need to do at the job.
Signatures
Attach your 3rd party floor design apps for example to the job sheet and then get the all important signature for the office so they can bill straight away - or create an invoice in the field.
Supplier sheets
Send the materials you require direct to your supplier. Saves a massive amount of time!
What our customers say...
Jake Mills from Springfield Landscapes
'I can't imagine running my business without it. It controls invoicing, diaries, messages to the customers, takes deposits, gets pictures from the job and allows me to see who is the best salesperson and the worst. I win more qutes with less staff, I a record of everything if there is a complaint and I have happy customers and landscapers because everyone knows where they stand. In short, it's brilliant and I recommend any landscaping company to use it.'
