Recurring rounds and build projects, costed separately
Maintenance visits and installation projects on one schedule, with crew hours and materials landing against the job that consumed them.
What makes this trade different
Landscaping businesses run two different economics under one roof. Maintenance is thin-margin, high-frequency, and route-driven; installation is lumpy, material-heavy, and quoted. The same crews do both, often in the same week.
Because the crews are shared, cost bleeds between the two. A day pulled from maintenance onto a build shows up nowhere, and at year end nobody can say which side of the business actually earned money.
How ServusOne handles it
Maintenance rounds and projects on one board
Recurring site visits and multi-day builds are scheduled together, so moving a crew between them is a decision you can see rather than an untracked reallocation.
Crew hours against the work that used them
Technicians clock in and out against the specific job, so the day pulled off maintenance onto an install lands on the install's cost rather than vanishing into an average.
Materials on the build, not on the month
Plants, aggregate, and hard-landscaping materials are recorded against the work order, so a project's material cost is knowable while it is still running.
Quotes that hold their shape
Installation estimates are line-itemed and carry a status through to acceptance, so what was agreed remains visible when the scope starts moving on site.

Straight answers
Can I track maintenance and installation profitability separately?
Yes, to the extent your team records against jobs. Hours and materials attach to the specific work order, so recurring and project work carry their own costs.
Can I keep a record against each controller or pump?
Yes. Installed units are recorded on the customer site by make, model and serial, with their own service history — so the next visit starts from what the last one found. This is a record of customer equipment, not vehicle or GPS tracking.
