A lawn care app that works in English and Spanish

A lot of lawn and irrigation companies run in two languages. The crew lead reads Spanish, half the customers read English, and the owner ends up translating texts at night or hoping a quick note on a work order means what it says. Most software for service businesses picks one language for everybody. We built a full working demo for a made-up company in Gilbert, Caliche & Clover Lawn and Irrigation, to show what software built for both looks like. Every customer, yard and dollar in it is sample data, and it says so on every screen.

Everyone reads in their own language

Language belongs to the person, not the app. Each customer, each crew lead and the owner has their own setting, and changing one never changes anyone else's. A crew lead can run the whole day in Spanish while the customer at the next stop gets every text in English.

Texts go out in the language of the customer who receives them: on my way, arrived, done for today, a new arrival window, a quote. The crew lead's quick notes come from a fixed list written in both languages, so "the side gate was latched" tapped in Spanish reaches an English-speaking customer word for word. Nothing is machine-translated. A note the crew lead types by hand goes out exactly as written, and the screen says so before it's sent.

Getting a quote and the yard page

A new customer starts with their address. The answer comes back straight away: which crew covers that neighborhood, which day of the week they come, and a two-hour window for the first visit, placed where it adds the least driving to that crew's day. The monthly price comes from the plan and the size of the yard.

After that, the customer has a page for their yard. On service day it shows the crew on the way, with a countdown, then on site, then done, with photos and the crew's notes. It also has the watering schedule and every text the business has sent, in their language.

Nothing gets fixed until you say yes

When the crew lead finds a broken sprinkler head, they quote it from the yard: a photo, the zone, the price. The customer gets a text and approves or declines with one tap. The crew can only mark it fixed after a yes, and the card on file is charged once it's done. In the demo, nothing is charged.

The crew lead's phone has the rest of the day: the stops in order, gate codes, a heads-up about the dog, the checklist for each plan, and a skipped stop logged in two taps with a text to the customer.

The office finds the shortest route

The owner can open any crew's day and see the shortest order for the stops that are left. Stops the crew has already done stay where they are. On the sample Monday, the new order cuts the drive from 2 hours 4 minutes to 1 hour 26 minutes. Using it puts the new order on the crew lead's phone and texts every customer whose window moved, each in their own language.

A new account waiting for a day gets the same treatment. The office tries the address in every crew's week and ranks the days by how much driving each one adds.

Then there's the season. In October the owner can offer winter rye overseeding to every lawn customer in one tap, each in their own language, and the yeses show up in the office as customers tap them.

This is what a build for a lawn and irrigation company could look like, not a product on a shelf. You can try the demo from forecheckai.com. If you run crews in more than one language, or any route that comes back every week, you can book a call at forecheckai.com/book.
