Your tailored recurring field service (cleaning, landscaping, pest, pool) workspace

These are net-new, recurring field service (cleaning, landscaping, pest, pool)-specific capabilities — not a generic CRM bolted onto your industry.

• Recurring visit + route engine (Quartermaster): Define a service frequency (weekly/biweekly/monthly) per account that auto-generates future visits and slots them onto a repeating crew route, with weather skip/reschedule and one-tap 'done' check-off per stop.
• Recurring / subscription billing (Treasury): Auto-invoice and auto-charge each account on its visit cycle (per-visit or flat monthly), with proration, pause/skip credits, and per-property pricing — the recurring-revenue backbone these businesses run on, which current Treasury tabs don't cover.
• Route optimization & windshield-time board (Dispatch): Sequence the day's stops by geography to cut drive time, assign crews/trucks, and show ETA windows per stop.
• Per-visit service log + photo proof (Dispatch): Each route stop captures what was done (mow height, chemicals applied, pool chemistry readings), before/after photos, and a completion timestamp that doubles as the billing trigger and the customer notification.
• Chemical / pesticide application log (Armory): For pest & pool: record product, EPA registration number, application rate, target pest, and applicator license on each treatment for state reporting and re-service guarantees.
