Jobber and Boss LM are popular business management tools that help landscaping companies run smoother operations.
Boss LM software offers a variety of features such as scheduling, invoicing, and marketing. However, without automated customer communication, you’ll spend more time keeping customers informed before, during, and after the job.

You stay connected and keep your business running smoothly, even when you’re on the go, with a 24/7 online customer portal, automated customer communications, and a mobile app.
