Guides: pricing, job costing and quoting
These pages explain how pricing, costing and quoting work inside VisionScaper.
Job costing
Compare what a job was quoted at with what it cost in labor, materials and equipment.
Quoting
Build quotes from a price book and your markups, with the design attached.
Choosing software
Comparing landscape software is easier with a checklist: does it start from the customer’s photo, does the quote carry through to the schedule and invoice, what does it connect to, and what does it not do. Our guide to choosing landscape software sets out how to weigh these.
VisionScaper connects to QuickBooks Online, Xero, Stripe and Zapier. QuickBooks Desktop is not supported.
- Does it start from the customer’s own photo?
- Does a quote flow through to the schedule, the crew and the invoice?
- What does it connect to for accounting and payments?
- Where are its limits, and are they stated plainly?
