SoloOp handles scheduling, invoicing, and payments for recurring residential or mixed commercial landscaping work. Jobs can repeat weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or on a custom cycle, and recurring jobs are generated automatically. Its Gravity engine recommends a day for a new property based on the operator’s other jobs.
