Hey there,
Starting my second year of the lawn care industry and would like to get a software that is geared for the lawn care industry. I used quick books for the first year and maybe its me but I really don't care for it, I mean its great but I'm guessing for what I paid I would want a program with scheduling. I'm a small sole proprietor company so I'm guessing I wouldn't need some expensive program. Any comments or input would be great.
Thanks,
Kevin

I have the rights to gopher software I would recommend it for your size business. I liked alot of the things it offered over my current one. I just had to switch to a different software as it was not networkable. I went from using gopher to having 3-4 people in the office full time typing up estimate4s taking calls and scheduling. Let me know i would sell it for half price.

What kind of price? I've heard of gopher, I had bought a lawncare start up kit from a place I wont say and it seems there lawn calculation seem to be outrageous to cut a 3 acre area with barely any obstruction. I know that's kinda of the subject but is gopher good quality. Again I'm new so please don't beat me up to bad. Thanks

I spent half the day today setting up all my customers. I really like it so far. Invoices look great and I really like the fact the customers get to view there invoices. Just gotta figure that part out. Lol in time I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks for the reply

The only thing I don't like( but they are working on) is the calendar. I want it to be able to print me out my scheduled route for the day.

They don't have an app yet do they or did I over look that. That would be great to be able to print out your daily schedule.

There is no app yet. But I love the fact that it is internet based so where ever you are you can print. I have used a customers printer several tines to print an invoice they lost
