Right software saves time and money

In the battle for efficiency at all levels, spreadsheets and spreadsheets are losing ground daily to specialized software for quote processing, estimating, and customer and personnel management. In particular, the promise of streamlining long-winded desk work in this way attracts. But the right package does more than that, allowing, among other things, a direct and consistent approach to costing.

With Groensoft, Use It Group has been working for more than fifteen years on administrative simplification in the green and garden sector, particularly for small and medium-sized garden contractor companies. The software package, which can be expanded according to the company's needs, offers various functionalities for, among other things, quotations and invoicing, customer and project management, progress reports, maintenance planning and time recording and post-calculation. 

Not generic applications, however, but functions and formulas tailored to the garden contractor and green professional. Think of a simple split between different VAT rates, including the creation of a VAT certificate for work on 6%, or mobile applications for consultations and registrations on site. According to research, thirty percent of time can be saved in this way with Groensoft. Uniquely, those figures only increase over time.

Less look-up work

Therefore, the great added value of Groensoft lies not only in its functionalities, but also in its industry-specific libraries. Each package has basic libraries in which the garden contractor can enter extensive data on materials, hours and tools. The user can enter and specify data himself, but can also link directly to the price lists of various suppliers. 

This makes it extremely easy to search for and select the right materials, compare prices, include the data in a quotation and even order directly if necessary. When you consider how much time this research takes under normal circumstances, you quickly see the advantages. Moreover, thanks to the simple price comparison, money is literally saved as well as time.

Eye for investment

Another factor frequently overlooked in cost accounting is the cost associated with investments such as tools and machinery. The library can therefore include data on the type, cost, maintenance and depreciation period of such equipment. Based on this, Groensoft automatically determines how best to factor these costs into the works.

According to own recipe

Both in the construction of libraries and in their use, Groensoft offers the user tremendous flexibility. Properties of materials can be modified and supplemented as needed, and there is ample room for different hourly rates, margins or other nuances. 

In addition, Groensoft is constantly learning, and its libraries allow it to create customized recipes: groupings of the various materials, tools, hours and margins required for a particular job. In this way, all aspects that affect the cost are immediately taken into account. If similar works are planned, a complete recipe can be repeated or modified without additional research work. As the libraries are completed, time savings of up to sixty percent can be systematically achieved.

From office to yard and back

With Groensoft, however, you don't just win in the early stages of the project. Thanks to the mobile applications, suitable for any tablet or smartphone, theory and practice are closer together than ever. Even with the simplest 'Mobile Lite' version, all data about a project can be consulted on site, while with the popular 'Time App' you register hours as well as materials and tools directly. The recently programmed 'Mobile Pro' in turn allows you to create, modify and, if desired, digitally sign customer quotes and work orders. Combine all this with a module for subsequent costing and control work, and you do not only create control invoices in one click, but above all you get even better insight into the various cost items and the efficiency of your work.
