Service programs

Built for the work you actually sell.

Mowing, cleanups, and seasonal programs all run through the same AI brain — each one scheduled around the real-world constraints that make or break the visit.

Mowing

Keep every property on its cadence — Route & Retain holds the rhythm even when the weather doesn't cooperate.

  • Frequency-aware scheduling: every lawn stays on its cycle, with spacing that adjusts automatically after a disruption.
  • Rain-smart rescheduling: a rained-out day moves to the next dry, open crew-day, not into limbo.
  • Routes that pay: the AI fills each day by drive time and route, so crews cut more and drive less.

Lawn applications

Run every fertilizer, pre-emergent, and weed-control program by its window. Route & Retain schedules each step inside the dates it can actually be applied, so nothing slips and no product is wasted.

  • Window-aware scheduling: see demand, supply, and days left; the system fills crew-days by route and drive time.
  • Credentialed crews only: licensed applicators get the work automatically.
  • Nothing misses the window: incomplete visits reschedule before the window closes, and customers get their required 24-hour heads-up.

Cleanups

Spring and fall cleanups are deadline work — Route & Retain makes sure they surface and get slotted before the season moves on.

  • Deadline-aware: seasonal cleanups sort by due date so none get buried under routine work.
  • Fills open capacity: the AI drops them into the crew-days that have room, by route.
  • Weather-smart: reschedules around wet or unworkable days on its own.

7 tools → 1 brain

The 6am scheduling spreadsheet dies today.

You’re not short on software. You’re short on one system that knows what a job costs, where the truck is, and whether the customer is still happy. Route & Retain is that one system.

Contract revenue you don't re-sell next spring

One login. One source of truth. One number that matters — the profit on every job.

The AI Brain

Three pillars. One business brain.

Most software runs your routes. Route & Retain runs your operation, your books, and your customer base — and puts a dollar figure on all three.

Operations

Every crew, every stop, handled before 6am.

AI builds the day's schedule, sequences the stops, and re-routes live when traffic or a slow job blows up the plan. Crew telemetry tells you who's on which property and whether they're ahead or behind.

Cuts drive time and fuel — typically 15–22% fewer paid windshield hours per truck.

Business

Finally know which jobs actually make you money.

Route & Retain prices out every job against real labor minutes, drive time, and materials — then shows you profit per job, per crew, and per customer. Unbilled work, underpriced accounts, and margin leaks surface automatically instead of showing up in your P&L in January.

Owners routinely find 5–15% of revenue sitting in unbilled or underpriced work in the first 90 days.

Customers

Keep the accounts you already paid to win.

The AI watches for the quiet warning signs — missed follow-ups, service gaps, complaints that never got closed out — and launches recovery outreach in your voice before the customer calls somebody else.

Every saved account is contract revenue you don't have to re-sell next spring.
