Connectivity for lawn care companies

Hundreds of recurring visits, routed and billed automatically. The customer calls once. If nobody answers, they call the next company on the list.

Internet, wireless and security for lawn care companies

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Routing and billing platforms are online and stop when the office does.

Wireless

Technicians mark visits complete and record treatments from the truck.

Security

Recurring card payments mean stored payment data to protect.

A thousand cards on file

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

Recurring billing is the engine of a lawn care company. It also means the business is holding payment details for every customer, on an office network that was set up for convenience.

What a consultant changes

Telecom Agency reviews how card data moves through the business and sources the protection to match, alongside the internet and mobile service. A consultant is useful here because the owner does not have to become a security expert. Someone independent explains what is required and what is just being sold.

How Telecom Agency shops the market for lawn care companies

The advice
With recurring card payments, the advice begins with how payment data is handled and protected, then covers the office connection and mobile service for route technicians.
The price
Security is priced with internet and mobile service from competing providers. The advisor separates what the card rules require from what is merely recommended.
The service
The advisor rechecks the setup when you change billing software or add a branch, and handles carrier issues for technicians in the field.
