"Last year we just ate the extra work because nobody wrote it down. This year every change is in Servato with a photo and the customer's signature. The invoices write themselves."

General manager, regional landscaping & lawn care company

Recurring maintenance routes were efficient, but one-off scope additions — an extra cubic yard of mulch here, a stump grind there — were getting lost between the crew lead's text messages and the office. The owner estimated they were leaving 4-6% of annual revenue on the table.

Servato's change-order flow lives in the field app: the crew lead snaps a photo, writes one line, gets the homeowner to sign on the phone, and the office sees it before the truck pulls out. Nothing is 'remembered' — it's logged.

The route-optimization engine also trimmed 18% off weekly windshield time, which the owner is reinvesting in a fifth crew without buying a fifth truck.
