Zebra Landscaping
Quote time cut from 4 hours to under 20 minutes.
The Problem
As Zebra Landscaping scaled across Edmonton, quote turnaround became a bottleneck. Assembling a full estimate — measuring the property, pricing multiple material categories, accounting for site conditions and access complexity — took the better part of a workday. Only senior staff could do it accurately, which meant their time was constantly pulled away from higher-value work. Getting a competitive quote out fast enough to win a job wasn't always possible.
What We Built
We built a custom estimating platform integrated directly into their existing field management software. The tool handles everything end to end — pulling property data from plot plans, letting staff draw and measure zones on live satellite imagery, applying the right materials and depths across multiple work areas, and automatically factoring in site-specific conditions like access difficulty and project complexity. Pricing tiers, material costs, and surcharge logic are all built into the engine. Nothing is left to memory, guesswork, or seniority. Staff select zones, configure materials, flag site conditions, and the platform produces a fully itemized, GST-calculated, client-ready quote — exported as a professional PDF in one click. The completed job then flows directly into Jobber without any manual re-entry.
The Result
What used to take four hours now takes under twenty minutes. Any member of the team can quote accurately from day one. Estimates are consistent across every job and every staff member, margin is protected on complex projects, and the time recovered goes back into running and growing the business.
