When it comes to landscaping, many companies naturally focus on property-level efficiency. After all, most contracts are tied to properties, making it logical to analyze efficiency from that perspective.
However, this traditional approach overlooks a crucial aspect of business optimization: your crews. At BomData, we believe that to truly improve your bottom line, you need to focus on optimizing your teams—not just the properties they work on.
The Pitfall of Property-Level Efficiency
Imagine this: You’re tracking every minute your crews spend on each property, analyzing how much time and resources go into maintaining that pristine lawn or beautifully pruned garden. You hope this data will reveal areas for improvement, but despite your efforts, the results are… underwhelming.
Why? Because properties don’t change. A lawn won’t suddenly require less maintenance, and a garden won’t prune itself faster just because you’ve analyzed it to death. Sure, you can make small adjustments, but the real variable in this equation—the factor that can make or break your efficiency—is your crew.
The Power of Focusing on Your Crews
Your crews are the heartbeat of your business. They’re the ones out there, day in and day out, making sure every property looks its best. But how often do we take a step back and ask ourselves: Are our teams working as efficiently as they could be?
This is where BomData comes in. By shifting your focus from properties to the people who maintain them, you can unlock significant improvements in both efficiency and profitability.
Let’s take an example: Suppose you have two crews maintaining similar properties. One crew consistently finishes an hour earlier than the other, but both crews report similar outcomes. The difference? The first crew has been trained on time-saving techniques and has a clear, optimized workflow. They’re not just working harder—they’re working smarter.
When you focus on crew efficiency, you’re able to:
- Identify Inefficiencies: Pinpoint exactly where your teams are losing time or resources and address these issues head-on.
- Adjust Schedules Intelligently: Optimize crew schedules based on real data, ensuring that your teams are always where they’re most needed.
- Provide Targeted Training: Equip your crews with the skills and knowledge they need to perform at their best.
A New Approach
At BomData, we believe in starting with the people. Once your crews are operating at peak efficiency, you can then revisit property-level analysis—but this time, you’ll be doing so with teams that are already optimized.
Here’s what you can achieve with BomData’s tools:
- Monitor Performance Quickly: Track key metrics and make adjustments as needed to ensure your teams are working efficiently.
- Detect Errors Early: Identify and correct common errors before they impact your operations.
- Create Healthy Competition: Foster healthy competition among your teams with dynamic leaderboards, customizable by branch, service line, manager, or crew.
