Owner-as-bottleneck

What breaks in landscape lighting today.
The maintenance plan you never sold
171 customers loving you on Google. Zero on a recurring plan. That's $50K–$75K of recurring revenue waiting on someone to pick up the phone.
Phone-first ops in a text-first world
After-hours calls go to voicemail. Hispanic-market homeowners call in Spanish and get English voicemail. Both groups quietly hire someone else.
Fixture inventory in a notebook
Cast LED, Unique, FX Luminaire — six brands across your trucks. When a warranty fixture fails on a Mike Jackson property in year 4, you spend forty minutes finding the install record.
Routes built by guess
487 miles to hit nine jobs. Done right, that's 67 miles. Six hours of driving, recovered every week.
Storms turn into chaos
Helene rolls through. Forty customers call at once. You have no playbook, no priority queue, and no way to triage who's a Bright Guardian member vs. a one-time install from 2019.
Built for the way lighting actually runs.
Per-fixture warranty tracking
Every fixture you install logs its brand, wattage, install date, and warranty terms. When year 4 rolls around on a Cast LED, you know — before the customer does.
Bilingual customer flow
Every customer-facing email, SMS, and review request runs in EN and ES. Felipe writes once. The system sends in the right language.
Route batching across your full service area
Pull up nine jobs from Naples to Clearwater. Watch them collapse into 3 batched routes. One full driving day per week, recovered.
The maintenance plan engine
Three plans, named for your brand. The campaign builder writes the email, segments your customer base, and tracks conversion. The slow season becomes the high-leverage season.
Storm Response Mode
When NOAA flags a storm in your service area, one click sends bilingual check-in offers to every customer in the path. Plan members jump the priority queue.

Real questions a lighting operator would actually ask.
Do you support Cast LED and Unique fixtures specifically?
Yes. We track fixture inventory by brand, model, wattage, install date, and warranty terms. Photographs attach to the fixture record, not the customer record.
Can I run my holiday lighting season inside the same workspace?
Yes. Holiday lighting is a separate service type with its own seasonal route batching, install/take-down windows, and customer reactivation flow each October.
What about my senior operator — the one who knows everything?
That's exactly the problem we solve. Site Memory captures install history, fixture locations, and customer preferences in structured records. New hires reach competence in 6 weeks instead of 6 months.
Do I need to be technical?
No. We onboard you in two sessions. You'll be running real campaigns by Day 14.
Who owns my customer data?
You do. Always. Export to CSV at any time. If we part ways, we hand back access in 5 business days. There is no "Gladius lock-in."
What happens to my Google reviews and Google Business Profile?
They stay yours. We help you moderate spam in your reviews section and post review-request flows after every completed job. We never own or operate your Google Business Profile — you do.
How does Storm Mode actually work?
When NOAA issues a watch or warning for any zip code in your service area, you get a Storm Mode prompt. One click sends a pre-approved bilingual check-in offer to every customer in the impact zone, with priority queueing for plan members.
What's the price?
Independent $99/month, Professional $399/month (most teams pick this), Enterprise $999/month. Discounted Pilot pricing available for the first 5 operators in each market. See /pricing for details.
