Bookkeeping software and a CRM like Jobber! (and a dump truck!) Landscape contractor over here =)

I own a pooper scooper business so my rake really is my main Tool and has made me hundred of thousands of dollars, but things we're supper stressful behind the scenes to make sure everything went smooth for the customers. I started using Jobber about 1 1/2 year into business and was glad I took the winter to learn the CRM.

A steam cleaner! We are a cleaning company and use it everywhere!

Believe it or not, for high use, we've had pretty good success with the Harbor Freight one with a roll-around body. The no-question returns with the 2-year replacement program come in handy!

Software would be Jobber 100% Equipment: I’ve pretty much purchased everything as soon as I have needed small items. I invested in my first dump trailer as soon as I opened the business. Just bought trailer number 2 and hope 3 comes in the next 6 months.

So far my most useful tool has been my plumbing code book. It's honestly been what has guided me to start my own business 3 months ago. I'm hoping that as long as I follow my code book I'll eventually get to be more successful. Right now my biggest problem is I don't have enough customers because I'm kind of in an economically depressed area but I'm within an hour of all four directions of access to tons more customers.
