GeoFreddie

Field management for landscape & maintenance crews

Every site, every crew, every plan. On one map.

GeoFreddie runs the week for site crews: who's going where, what got done, what it looked like, and whether it was done safely. Crews use the phone app on site. The office runs it from the browser.

Setting up a site's map layers by hand can take hours: lining up the plan, then marking out every tree, garden bed and path. PlanScan does that work for you. It reads the plan, puts it in the right place and builds the layers, usually in about two minutes.

  1. Stitches the sheets

    Joins the drawing across "continues to" match lines and leaves the legend, notes and insets out.

  2. Reads the drawing

    Picks up the plant schedule, scale bar, north arrow, lot numbers, street names and any survey coordinates, even on sheets where the text is drawn as shapes.

  3. Places it

    Lines the linework up with the state land-parcel map and the aerial photo, using the lot numbers and street names to find the right spot.

  4. Checks its own work

    Runs every placement through independent checks. When the evidence is thin, it says it isn't sure and asks you to look, instead of guessing.

Example. Trees, beds, lawn and paving from the plan become map layers your crews can open on site.

What it covers

The whole job, from roster to report.

One system in place of the whiteboard, the group chat, the spreadsheet of sites and the folder of paper forms.

Schedule

Weekly rosters and the day's runsheet

Assign crews to sites for the week. Each day becomes a runsheet of stages to tick off: done, partial or not yet. Make a roster in the app or import one from somewhere else.

Sites

Service intervals that keep score

Every site, stage and service with its own interval, milestones and priority. The dashboard shows what's up to date, what's due and what's overdue.

History

Stamped photos, kept with the site

Every field photo is stamped with the date, time and GPS position, and filed under the site visit or report it belongs to.

GeoCanvas

Plans you can stand in

Open the site's plan on the phone and see where you're standing on it in real time. Tap the trees, garden beds and other landscape elements to see their history.

Variations

From a problem on site to an approved job

A crew member snaps the problem. The office prices it, gets it approved, schedules it and sees it done. It's all in the app, so nothing gets lost.

Reports

Monthly site reports in a few clicks

Pick a site and a month. Works done, visits, notes and photos come together in one report for the client, or use the client portal so they're always in the loop.

Safety

SWMS, permits and prestarts

Build a SWMS once and tick it onto sites. Prestarts, inductions, toolbox talks, hazard reports and hot works permits are all on the phone. Total fire bans for your sites' districts are checked through the day. Use the Form Builder to quickly make any new documents a job needs.

Chemicals

A register linked to APVMA

Tick products from a shared catalogue into your own register, track stock, and keep the SDS with them.

People

Timesheets, leave, roles and HR

Clock in and out with reminders, approve leave, and show staff their leave balances from payroll. Define roles and assign them to your people. A staff directory keeps everyone's details in one place, and staff get a private line to HR, named or anonymous.

Take-off

Quantities straight off the map

Lawn and garden bed areas, path lengths and tree counts are measured from the site's map layers, ready to quote from or export as a spreadsheet. Mark up the plan to show the client exactly what you mean.

Inspections

Dilapidation and condition reports

Pin damage and defects on the site plan, attach photos and produce a formatted report. Damage and site condition reports land in the site's history on the day they were made.

Message boards

Warnings where the crew will see them

Post warnings, requests and notes to the whole business or to one site. A current warning shows up in red on the site before anyone heads out.

Security

A lot of care goes into keeping your data safe.

A lot of the work behind GeoFreddie never shows on screen. Before every release, the whole platform is checked against the latest industry security standards for web apps, phone apps and the services behind them, and anything that turns up is fixed before it ships. As the standards move on, so does GeoFreddie.

  • Only your people get in. Staff sign in with Google, Apple or a passkey, and only once you've invited them.
  • Your business is yours alone. No other business on GeoFreddie can see your sites, staff or clients.
  • Everyone sees what they need. Crews get their work. Prices, contracts and HR stay with the people you choose.
  • Nothing happens quietly. Important changes are recorded, and you decide how long old records are kept.

Modular

Only pay for what your business uses.

GeoFreddie is built from modules. Switch on the ones your business needs and leave the rest off. Your plan is priced on what you've switched on, and you can add or drop a module as the business changes.
