How does the system handle the transition between seasonal services?+
The system manages seasonal transitions with predefined service calendars. When mowing season ends, the system automatically triggers fall cleanup scheduling for all maintenance accounts. Billing adjusts to reflect the seasonal service — some companies maintain flat monthly billing year-round while others adjust by season. Client communication templates notify clients of the seasonal transition, upcoming services, and any schedule changes. The transition is planned weeks in advance, with crew assignments and equipment preparation tracked through the system so the shift from one season to the next is smooth rather than chaotic.
Can the CRM manage both maintenance billing and project milestone payments?+
Yes. Maintenance clients are billed on automated monthly cycles with cards on file. Project clients are billed according to their contract milestone schedule — typically a deposit, one or two progress payments, and a final payment. The system tracks project progress against milestones and sends invoice reminders when a milestone is reached. Change orders for scope additions are documented and added to the billing schedule. Revenue reporting separates the two streams so you can analyze maintenance recurring revenue growth independently from project revenue, which tends to be more variable.
