Introduction
Level Green Landscaping, a leader in commercial landscaping across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia regions, specializes in maintaining properties ranging from small urban parcels to sprawling 100-acre estates. As the company expanded, their traditional property measurement processes struggled to keep up, leading to inefficiencies and bottlenecks.
To address these challenges, Level Green partnered with SiteRecon, leveraging its automation capabilities to optimize workflows and enable their team to focus on client service and growth.
Challenges
Resource Bottlenecks:
- Property measurements were performed manually using web applications, consuming 2-4 hours per property.
- This burden fell on Manager Trainees (MTs), leading to backlogs during peak bidding seasons.
"In our busy season, 20-30 properties could stack up for one MT to measure"
-Mike, CTO of Level Green Landscaping.
Delays in Bidding:
- Turnaround time for bids was slow, impacting the ability to secure contracts in a competitive market.
"Measuring was just the first step, and everything else had to wait until it was done" Mike noted.
Training Challenges:
- MTs spent disproportionate time measuring properties instead of focusing on fieldwork and client engagement, limiting their professional growth.
"Clicking around a screen isn’t the best way to train future managers" Mike emphasized.
Concerns About Accuracy:
- Manually drawn measurements were prone to errors, undermining bid accuracy and operational efficiency.
Solution
Level Green implemented SiteRecon to automate property measurements, transforming their bidding workflow. The solution offered:
- Automated Measurements: Streamlined the property measurement process, delivering results in hours.
- Efficient Feedback Mechanism: Allowed seamless communication to address complex properties or unique needs.
- Transparency Across Teams: Provided easily accessible data for all stakeholders, from sales to operations.
"SiteRecon freed us from bottlenecks and gave us back time to focus on what matters—our clients," Mike stated.
Results
Significant Time Savings:
- Measurements that previously took 2-4 hours were now completed within hours by SiteRecon.
"We’ve eliminated the friction in our process, giving us more time to engage with clients," Mike noted.
Streamlined Training for MTs:
- MTs shifted focus from measurements to field training, enhancing their understanding of properties and improving their managerial skills.
"Now they spend time learning hands-on, not stuck behind a computer," Mike said.
Faster Bidding Processes:
- Reduced lead time allowed Level Green to submit more bids in less time, increasing the volume of opportunities.
"We’re now turning bids around faster and focusing on the client’s needs rather than measurements," Mike explained.
Increased Accuracy:
- Automated measurements reduced errors, ensuring reliable estimates for clients.
"After verifying SiteRecon’s accuracy on 20 properties, we were fully confident in the system," Mike stated.
Key Benefits
Efficiency Gains:
- MTs and other team members reclaimed hours previously spent on measurements, focusing instead on client service and strategic tasks.
"We’ve reallocated resources to higher-value activities," Mike emphasized.
Improved Client Relationships:
- Faster bid submissions and more time with clients strengthened trust and engagement.
"We can now focus on our clients’ pain points rather than rushing to complete bids," Mike said.
Scalable Solution:
- With SiteRecon, Level Green has a system that supports growth without adding operational complexity.
"We’re ready to scale while maintaining our high standards," Mike added.
Level Green Landscaping successfully modernized its operations with SiteRecon, cutting inefficiencies and improving accuracy. This strategic move not only enhanced their bidding process but also positioned them as a more client-focused organization.
