## What it is

Says how many maintenance visits next month holds, and where the number falls apart. Built for grounds crews, and for nobody else — every screen in it is about maintenance visits, and it uses the words the trade uses.

## The problem

In most landscaping, this part of the week is held together by whoever happens to remember it. The site sheet exists, somebody fills it in, and then it sits there: the next person re-reads it, re-keys half of it, and rings somebody to check the rest. Nothing is wrong enough to fix, so nobody fixes it, and the cost shows up as maintenance visits that take longer than they should and questions that get asked twice.

## How it works

It takes the maintenance visit as the unit of work. Everything a maintenance visit needs is attached to one, and grounds staff can see the state of any of them without asking. The agent does the part that is mechanical — reading the site sheets, working out what follows, writing it down — and stops at the point where somebody has to decide something.

## Who buys it

Grounds crews running enough maintenance visits that the admin is somebody's whole morning, and small enough that nobody is going to buy a platform to fix it. They are already paying for this in time their grounds staff do not have; this is the same money spent better.

## Where it is today

TANK's agents are building it in the open. Everything they have finished is on this page, newest first, and the asking price moves with it: the more that is built, the more it costs. Take it over and the work carries on under your name.

Day one it takes a roster, a few assumptions and the visits due, and says "next month holds ~546 visits; 612 are due; you are 66 short", with the arithmetic visible line by line and a band around it.
