Can I combine labour hours and materials in one quote?
Yes. You store both item types in your price list and combine them however you like per quote or invoice.
For Landscaping
Create quotes and invoices for landscaping and garden maintenance
Whether it's a new garden, tree pruning, or regular garden care: landscaping businesses usually calculate a mix of labour hours, materials, and disposal. OfficePilot reflects this structure using your own price list, so you can create the quote right after the visit to the garden.

Combine labour hours, materials, and disposal
A garden quote often consists of hours for care and pruning, items priced per area or running metre, plants and materials, and green waste removal. You store these items once in your price list with a unit and price, and combine them freshly for each job.
For landscaping there is an industry starter pack with typical items such as garden care, lawn mowing, hedge trimming, or new lawn installation. The item names are in German and the prices are sample values that you adjust to your own rates.
Quotes for new gardens and seasonal work
Spring clean-up, winter tree pruning, or new terrace planting: garden work follows the seasons. After the walk-through you capture the discussed work as keywords and get a quote draft you can review and approve on your phone, instead of typing it up at the office desk in the evening.
For unusual or first-time items, it stays visible that they aren't yet in the price list, so you can briefly check them before sending.
Framework agreement for ongoing garden care
Recurring garden care for owners or property managers can be put into a contract. For this, OfficePilot creates, among others, a framework agreement or a service agreement as a draft that you review and adjust. It does not replace legal advice.
Invoice with QR code and reminders
Once the work is finished, you create the invoice using the same customer and line-item data. If IBAN, address, and company details are on file, OfficePilot generates a valid Swiss QR invoice. You keep an eye on open invoices; you create payment reminders with one click from the Standard plan, and you always review them before sending.
