Light the garden, keep it lit
Quote the lighting design, take a deposit on the job, book the install, and log every fixture and transformer against the site (Essentials and up). Field 2 Service keeps the scheme on file so the yearly service — bulbs, lenses, timers — books itself (Essentials and up).
✓ No card required · ✓ Invoiced by bank transfer
This your typical job?
Landscape lighting is a design sale up front and a service relationship after — both need a proper record to work.
Designs quoted on a hunch
Fixtures, transformers, cable runs and labour add up quietly. Quote the scheme by feel and you either lose the job or light it at a loss.
No record of what you fitted
Two years on you're back to swap a failed transformer and nobody knows the model, the load or which bed it feeds. Every service call starts from scratch.
One install, then silence
You fit a beautiful scheme and never go back. The annual service — bulbs, lenses, timer resets — is easy recurring revenue you're leaving on the table.
Quote the scheme from your price book (Essentials and up), take a deposit on the job
Price the design the way you build it — path lights, uplighters, transformers, cable and labour, line by line from your price book. Take a deposit on the job before you order fittings, and let the customer accept the design online. The accepted quote becomes the booked install with nothing re-typed.
- Price book for fixtures, transformers, cable and labour
- Deposits up front, applied automatically to the job
- Online acceptance with expiry tracking on every quote
Book the install, sign it off on site
Drop the install onto the calendar — a day for a small scheme, a few for a big garden — and assign the crew on the drag-and-drop dispatch board (Professional and up). Give them the wiring and commissioning steps as a checklist (Essentials and up), and capture the customer's signature on a signed completion sheet before you leave. The field view runs in any phone browser, so there's no app to install.
- Install days on the calendar, assigned on the board
- Commissioning checklists from cable to timer
- Signed completion sheets captured on site
Log the kit you fitted, ready for the next service
Record every transformer and fixture on the asset register (Essentials and up) — make, model, load, the zone it feeds — against the customer's site. When you go back to service or fault-find, the whole scheme and its history are there, so nobody's guessing at what's buried under the bark.
- Asset register per fixture and transformer
- Per-item service history against the site
- Per-site access notes for gated and lit gardens
The annual service that books itself
Put each scheme on a recurring maintenance visit (Essentials and up) — bulb and lens checks, transformer loads, timer and season resets — and the next service generates itself. Run it from a checklist, sign it off on a completion sheet, and turn a one-off install into a customer who's on the books for years.
- Recurring maintenance visits per scheme
- Service checklists and signed completion sheets
- Service or maintenance contracts for regular clients
Invoice the install, invoice the service, win the review
Send a VAT-smart invoice with a card-payment link (Essentials and up; connect your own Stripe or PayPal) on the install and again after each service — the deposit's already deducted, and it's one clean price if you're not registered. Automatic reminders chase the late ones, and Field 2 Service asks every happy customer for a review (Essentials and up) that shows off the finished garden after dark.
- Card payment links via Stripe or PayPal, VAT-smart
- Automatic overdue reminders and an aged-debtors view
- Review requests and a reputation funnel after the job
