What landscapers actually need
You make money on routes and recurring maintenance. Generic field-service tools weren't built for that.
Mow-day route optimization, one tap
Hit the button: we geolocate you, geocode 25 stops, order them shortest-path, show miles and ETA. Opens Google Maps as a multi-leg trip. Saves 40+ min on a typical mow day.
Recurring maintenance agreements
Build a weekly mow plan, biweekly hedge trim, monthly fertilizer. Client e-signs the agreement once. Jobs auto-generate 30 days out and auto-bill. Vacation pause + auto-resume.
Mulch, fuel, fertilizer cost per job
Log yards of mulch, gallons of fuel, pounds of fertilizer as you use them. Revenue − Supplies = Profit, live on every job. Auto-deducted as a tax expense.
Sketch a lawn, auto-price the bid
Drop points around the property on a Google Maps satellite view. Square footage and perimeter compute live. Auto-prices the estimate at your $/sq ft rate.
Property photos auto-publish to your folio
Snap before/after on every property — they auto-publish to your folio at opervo.io/p/your-slug. Drag-and-drop reorder, gallery up to 20 photos. Built-in quote form for new leads.
Client texts that close the loop
On my way → photos delivered → invoice sent → "Pay now" → tip → Google review. All automated. Property owners think you have a back office. You don't.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Opervo optimize my mow-day route?
Yes. On the Schedule page, tap Route My Day: we geolocate you, geocode every stop, order them shortest-path, and show total miles + ETA. Tap "Start Route" to launch Google Maps as a multi-leg trip with all stops as waypoints. Saves 40+ minutes on a typical mow day.
Can clients sign weekly or biweekly mow agreements electronically?
Yes. Build a Service Plan (weekly, biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or custom). Send the client a magic-link agreement they e-sign once. Jobs auto-generate 30 days out, auto-bill on completion. Vacation pause + auto-resume baked in.
Can I track mulch, fuel, and fertilizer cost per job?
Yes. Build a catalog of supplies in your own units (yards of mulch, gallons of fuel, pounds of fertilizer) and log usage per job in seconds. Unit costs are snapshotted at the moment of logging so historical jobs don't change when you re-buy at a different price. Every job shows live profit math: Revenue − Supplies = Profit.
How does Opervo compare to Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Markate for landscaping?
Jobber Connect is $119/mo and SMS is an add-on. Housecall Pro is $79/mo and they take 2.59% + $0.10 on every payment. Markate starts at $39.95 but Customer Portal, Online Booking, Lead Form, Reviews, and Proposals are each separate $10/mo add-ons — a realistic Markate stack is $80–110/mo. Opervo Solo is $24.99/mo all-in. None of those competitors track mulch/fuel/fertilizer cost per job or auto-publish a portfolio page.
Does Opervo handle commercial landscaping accounts?
Yes. Build commercial maintenance plans with weekly or biweekly cadence, route days that pack multi-property stops, recurring auto-billing, and a portfolio page that signals legitimacy to commercial property managers. The Folio quote widget can be embedded on your existing site for B2B lead capture.
Can I switch from Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Markate?
Take 10 minutes. CSV import handles Jobber, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, QuickBooks, and Google Contacts with auto-column mapping and duplicate detection. Run your 14-day Opervo trial in parallel with your current tool — no credit card required.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes — Opervo is on the App Store, and the same login works on Android (via PWA install) and any browser. Updates push to your phone within 24 hours.
