How This Automation Works
New Annual Flower Installation Request Received → Crew Automatically Assigned and Customer Notified
Installation Request Capture
Customer submits installation request through website form, phone system, or sales team entry. System automatically captures property address, square footage, flower type preferences, color schemes, bed locations, preferred installation dates, and any special requirements like existing plant removal.
Crew Availability Check
System queries current schedules for all installation crews, checks availability windows during preferred dates, identifies crews with appropriate expertise for the specific flower types, and considers current workload to prevent overallocation.
Route and Location Optimization
Automation calculates travel distances from crew locations to installation site, analyzes other scheduled jobs in the area for efficient routing, estimates installation duration based on bed size and complexity, and identifies the optimal time slot that minimizes total travel time.
Automatic Crew Assignment
Best-matched crew is automatically assigned based on availability, expertise, and location. System blocks the time in crew calendars, reserves necessary equipment and materials, and creates detailed job tickets with property details, flower specifications, and installation instructions.
Customer and Crew Notification
Automated confirmations sent to customer with scheduled date, estimated arrival time, crew details, and preparation instructions. Crew receives job details, property access information, flower inventory needs, and route directions through mobile app.
Pre-Installation Reminders
System sends 24-hour reminder to customer confirming installation details and any property preparation needed. Crew receives morning briefing with updated route, weather conditions, and any last-minute customer notes or changes.
Real-Time Progress Tracking
Crew checks in upon arrival via mobile app, triggering customer notification. System tracks installation progress, monitors for delays, and automatically updates subsequent appointments if timing adjustments are needed.
Completion and Follow-Up
Upon completion, crew submits photos and notes through app. System automatically sends completion notification to customer with installation photos, care instructions, and requests feedback. Schedule updates with actual completion time to improve future estimates.

Transform your annual flower installation operations with intelligent scheduling automation that coordinates crew assignments, optimizes routes, and manages customer communications. This system automatically processes installation requests, checks crew availability, assigns the best-suited teams based on location and expertise, and sends real-time updates to both crews and customers.
