How This Automation Works
Seasonal Date Threshold Reached → Crew Dispatched with Complete Planting Plan
Seasonal Threshold Triggers Process
When the designated seasonal date arrives or weather conditions meet criteria, the system identifies all properties scheduled for color rotation in that zone and initiates the workflow for each location.
Work Orders Generated Automatically
For each property, the system creates a detailed work order including property address, specific plant varieties and quantities from the color program, site-specific notes, access instructions, and photo documentation requirements.
Plant Material Needs Aggregated
The system tallies all plant material requirements across scheduled properties, checks inventory levels, generates purchase orders for suppliers if needed, and tracks expected delivery dates to ensure materials arrive on time.
Crews Assigned and Dispatched
Based on crew availability, location, and workload, the system assigns work orders, creates optimized routes grouping nearby properties, and sends each team their schedule with all necessary details via mobile app or email.
Client Notifications Sent
Property managers receive automated emails or SMS messages confirming their scheduled installation date, expected timeframe, and the plants being installed, with options to reschedule if needed.
Progress Tracked in Real-Time
As crews complete installations, they mark jobs complete in the mobile app, upload before/after photos, and note any issues. The system updates property records and sends completion notifications to clients automatically.
Performance Data Captured
The system logs completion times, material usage, crew efficiency, and client feedback, building a historical record that helps optimize future seasonal rotations and improve scheduling accuracy.
How It Works
Managing seasonal color changes across dozens or hundreds of properties requires precise timing, coordinated crews, and constant communication with clients. This automation system eliminates manual scheduling bottlenecks by automatically triggering seasonal planting notifications, generating site-specific work orders, dispatching crews based on availability and location, and keeping clients informed throughout the process. From fall mums to spring annuals, ensure every property gets refreshed at the optimal time with zero administrative overhead. The system tracks planting histories, manages inventory needs, coordinates with nursery deliveries, and provides real-time progress updates to property managers—all without a single manual email or phone call.
The Trigger
When a predefined seasonal date arrives (spring, summer, fall) or weather conditions become favorable for planting, the system automatically initiates the color change workflow for all scheduled properties in that geographic zone.
The Action
The system generates property-specific work orders with plant lists and quantities, assigns crews based on location and availability, sends detailed instructions to field teams, notifies property managers of scheduled dates, and tracks completion status with photo documentation requirements.
