Reclaim Lost Hours & Conquer the Spring Labor Crunch

Spring is the busiest, most demanding time of year for commercial landscapers, and every lost hour hurts. While many companies believe they have scheduling and labor tracking under control—especially if they’re using Aspire—the reality is that even the best-run operations still experience inefficiencies that silently drain valuable crew hours.

At BomData, we’ve analyzed labor data across many landscaping companies using Aspire and found that most are losing significant time due to common scheduling mistakes:

• Unrealistic ticketed hours—Crews are often assigned daily schedules that don’t reflect real-world execution, leading to misalignment in expectations and often overages.
• Inaccurate tracking in Crew Mobile—If crews aren’t using Crew Mobile properly, you’re not getting an accurate picture of actual hours worked, making future planning unreliable.
• Unnoticed inefficiencies that add up—A few small errors each day can compound into hundreds of wasted hours per crew each season.

A Direct Impact on Profitability

These inefficiencies don’t just take up time—they directly impact profitability. Companies that have taken action using BomData insights have reclaimed significant crew hours, translating to major operational improvements.

Take our case study with Level Green Landscaping, a $30M commercial landscaping company in the DC Metro area. Using BomData, they’ve achieved a 10% year-over-year increase in efficiency by identifying and fixing inefficiencies in scheduling and tracking. By making crew hours and accuracy data more transparent—displaying key performance insights for all teams to see—Level Green fostered a culture of accountability that led to measurable gains.

James Kole, Branch Manager at Level Green, put it simply: “Everyone looks at it, is talking about it, and no one wants to be last. The team cares more now.” His team now spends just 30 minutes a week reviewing scheduling data, making small but powerful adjustments that help crews reduce unnecessary hours and improve overall workflow.

Many commercial landscapers assume they’re already running at peak efficiency because they chose Aspire. But how well are you truly using it? No one is perfect, and small inefficiencies add up fast. Even Level Green found major improvements by refining how they manage crew hours with BomData.

How does it work?

Even seemingly small scheduling and tracking gaps can translate into thousands of lost hours per year. Our analysis of customer data shows a clear trend: companies that think they’ve optimized Aspire often still have hidden inefficiencies.
