> The CRM built for field service crews (pressure washing, lawn care, snow removal)

CrewNest is a customer relationship management (CRM) and job-management platform built specifically for field service businesses including pressure washing, lawn care, snow removal, landscaping, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, and similar outdoor service companies. It is designed for solo operators and small crews (roughly 1 to 10 people) who want trade-specific tools without enterprise complexity or per-user pricing.

## What CrewNest Does

CrewNest helps a field service owner run the whole operation from one mobile-first app:

- **Customer management**: contact info, service addresses, property details, job history
- **Job scheduling**: calendar scheduling, recurring jobs, team assignment
- **Estimates and invoices**: build quotes, convert to invoices, accept online card payments (Stripe)
- **Team management**: role-based permissions (Owner, Admin, Manager, Technician)
- **SMS messaging**: two-way texting with customers from a dedicated business number (Twilio), on the Pro plan
- **Route optimization**: order the day's stops to save drive time and fuel
- **Satellite Scout**: measure driveways, lawns, and roofs on satellite imagery to size jobs and generate quotes
- **Soft Wash Chef**: chemical mix calculator (bleach strength, target strength, batch size) to prevent landscape damage

## Who Uses CrewNest
