You're on a riding mower in 92° heat. The phone rings — a new design-and-install lead worth $14,000. You can't hear it over the engine. By the time you finish the lawn, it's voicemail. They've already called two other landscapers.
When the job's done, the customer is right there in front of you — credit card in hand, phone unlocked, ready to pay. Two days later, they're back at work and your invoice is at the bottom of a Gmail folder. Every day you wait to send the link, the collection rate drops. Sophia closes the loop the moment the job is done.
Sophia knows the difference between a one-time mow and a $14K design-install. She qualifies job size by square footage and scope (mow vs. mulch vs. hardscape vs. design), and pitches the seasonal contract that locks the customer in for 26 weeks.
One tap. Same day. No 30-day wait.
She works 168 hours a week. She charges from $5 an hour.
Same job. Different collection.

Built for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, dental, vets, med-spas, real estate, legal, accounting, cleaning, landscape, restaurants, retail, gyms, salons — and pre-trained on the 50 questions your customers ask.
See your industryYes. Sophia uses Stripe-issued, PCI-compliant, single-use checkout links. The customer's card data never touches your phone or Sophia's servers. Same security every Apple Pay or Stripe Checkout transaction uses.
No. Sophia plugs into Stripe, Square, QuickBooks Payments, and most major SMB processors on Pro and above. The money lands in the same bank account it does now — just faster.
Yes — from your rate sheet. Standard mow = $X for under 1/4 acre + $Y per additional 1/4 acre. Edging, blowing, and weekly vs. biweekly cadence built in. Design-install jobs always book an in-person estimate; she never quotes hardscape on the phone.
Yes. When you mark a route as 'weather-canceled' in the dashboard, Sophia texts every customer with the new visit date. Customers can reply 'next-week' or 'skip' and she handles it. The owner stops getting 30 'where's my mower' texts every rain day.
Yes. In September she texts existing customers with the fall-cleanup + leaf-removal offer. In February she pitches spring prep + mulch. Customers can accept by reply text. Most landscape owners see 30-40% conversion to the seasonal add-on.
Sophia texts a Stripe-secured payment link the moment the job is done. Cash flow that doesn't depend on chasing customers.
