About The Customer

Southern Landscape Group is a landscape management company founded in 1998 by Mark Maslow. The company's vision is to deliver outstanding service and ensure the best experience for its clients. Southern Landscape Group has been a customer of DynaScape since 2003, starting with a basic design package and gradually upgrading to a comprehensive solution that covers all aspects of their business from design to invoicing. The company values the robustness, integration, and cohesiveness of DynaScape's software, which has become an integral part of their operations.

The Challenge

Southern Landscape Group, a landscape management company, was facing several challenges in managing estimates, capturing accurate cost and productivity, and improving the overall efficiency of completing estimates. They were using different Excel spreadsheets and programs, which were not integrated and thus, led to inefficiencies and errors. There was also hesitation in adopting web-based applications due to data privacy concerns. The company was in need of a comprehensive solution that could streamline their processes from design to invoicing, while ensuring data security.

The Solution

Southern Landscape Group turned to DynaScape, a landscape business software, for a solution. They started off with a design package and gradually upgraded to color and Sketch 3D. Impressed by the robust design and the seamless integration from design to estimate, to proposal, to job costing, they decided to implement DynaScape's Manage360. They started with the sales and estimating module to manage their CRM and sales. Six months into using the module, they added the job costing feature. Today, they use DynaScape as an end-to-end software from design to invoicing. The software allows them to export materials and databases directly into their estimates, eliminating errors and ensuring accurate, bulletproof estimates. It also provides a detailed printout of everything needed for the job, improving crew efficiency.
