Jobs, sites, weather — all at a glance.

The landscaping season is short and intense: from April to October you have to bring in 70% of your annual revenue. Inquiries come in by phone with „pop by sometime", site times and materials end up on slips of paper, a rainy day forces last-minute tour changes — and at night you still have to log the hours of seasonal helpers.

With AnvaCode you have one place for everything: online inquiry with an m² calculator filters out tyre-kickers, the tour plan automatically arranges jobs seasonally, the weather trigger via DWD stops outdoor work in case of storm/frost and notifies customers, before/after photo documentation lands legally in the system.

Common problems

What costs landscaping businesses time & margin every season.

Four problems almost every gardener, arborist and landscaper knows — with proven solutions long available.

„Come over for a quote"

Every inquiry = an unpaid on-site appointment. With 20 inquiries/week and 60% tyre-kickers = 12 wasted appointments. Online inquiry with an m² calculator filters in advance: only serious leads come through.

Losses: 1–2 days / week

Weather cancellation chaos in spring

Storm warning Thursday morning — you phone 8 customers, move appointments, forget 2 calls, complaints in the afternoon. Automatic weather trigger via DWD solves it: everyone affected gets an SMS with a new appointment suggestion.

Losses: 2–4 hrs phone / storm

Site hours & materials on slips

Foreman scribbles „3 h, 12 m turf, 8 bags of soil" on a time slip. Friday you key it into Excel, mistype „2 bags" — material shrinkage. With 5 sites/week, by month-end you've lost overview entirely.

Losses: 5–8% material shrinkage

April–October season = WhatsApp hell

Regulars ask via WhatsApp „when are you coming for the hedge?", new customers by phone, referrals by email. 3 dispatch channels = double bookings + angry customers + 60-hour weeks for you.

Losses: 60+ hrs/week Apr–Oct

In action

How it looks in landscaping life.

Seasonal tour plan in dispatch and photo-doc app on site — both from the same system, in real-time sync.

Tour plan — weekly view of all sites, seasonal helper assignment, weather column with DWD warnings
In dispatch

Seasonal tours · weather column · assign helpers

Weekly calendar with all sites + weather column on the left (DWD 7-day forecast). On storm/frost warning the day turns red, affected jobs are suggested for replanning. Seasonal helpers (April–October) are assigned by drag & drop, time stamps land in the system automatically.

Photo-doc app — worker takes before/after photo, hours and material logging per site
On site

Before/after photo · hours · materials — app-based

Foreman opens the app at the start of the job, takes a before photo. During work: hours run automatically (GPS-verified), materials logged by tapping („+2 bags of soil"). At the end: after photo, customer signs digitally. Data is in HQ instantly, the invoice can be generated straight away.

Frequently asked

What landscaping businesses most often ask.

Is this worth it for my small or mid-size business?+
Yes — the system scales from a one-person business to 50+ staff. You pay a flat fee instead of per-seat licensing, need no in-house IT and can start small. Setup is tailored individually to your seasonal workflow.
Do I need IT training or can my team use it right away?+
Ready to use. It runs in a web browser, as intuitive as online banking, and on the phone like a normal app. Typically 1–2 hours of onboarding is enough. We provide a short onboarding video and run a live training session with your whole team.
Does it work on the move on a smartphone?+
Fully mobile. Native apps for iOS and Android or as a web app on any phone. Take a job, photo docs, time tracking, log materials — all from the garden or the site car park. Key functions work offline and sync later automatically.
How do my existing customers and data get into the system?+
The standard way is Excel import. We handle this for you during setup: CSV lists, address databases, exports from your old software. For larger migrations we help with custom adjustments — you don't have to retype any customer base by hand.
How is my data protected? GDPR-compliant?+
Servers in Germany. Hosting at Hetzner Falkenstein (ISO 27001), transport with TLS 1.3, data at rest encrypted with AES-256. You receive a DPA under Art. 28 GDPR, no transfer to third countries, regular automatic backups.
How long does setup take?+
Basic package 2–3 weeks, full landscaping package 4–8 weeks — depending on scope. We recommend a step-by-step rollout: first online inquiry & customer DB, then tour planning & weather triggers, then hours/material logging via app.
What sets you apart from GreenGo, Plantix or Excel lists?+
Three clear differences. (1) Complete system instead of app patchwork — GreenGo & Plantix are apps for plant ID and fertiliser plans, not a job system; we build the workflow from inquiry to invoice in one system. (2) Flat rate instead of per staff member — with classic industry software the price rises with every new hire, with us it doesn't. (3) Own domain, own data sovereignty on German servers — no commissions, no platform lock-in.
How does the weather trigger against cancellation chaos work?+
Automatically via the official DWD forecast. You define thresholds per job type — e.g. „hedge cut: storm > 50 km/h", „paving: on frost". On a warning, the system automatically sends an SMS to all affected customers with a 2-click replacement appointment and re-plans your staff. Works down to postcode level.
How does the m² online inquiry filter out tyre-kickers?+
Indicative price immediately, final price after the visit. The customer picks a service (turf, paving, hedge cut), enters m² or linear m, optional photo. The system shows an indicative price based on your stored prices with a clear disclaimer. Bargain hunters for whom the price is already too high click away — your phone only rings for serious leads.
