Logiciel paysagiste : devis végétaux, chantier & entretien

I Who is it for

A tool designed for landscaping businesses with 1–15 employees, not for large green space corporations or solo gardeners just starting out.

Landscapers’ tools fall into two disconnected worlds: design (JARDInEO, SketchUp, landscape CAD) on one side, and management (Excel for plant quotes, accounting software for invoicing, email for maintenance) on the other. Orizen doesn’t replace your design software: it takes over everything that isn’t design—sales, quotes, projects, maintenance contracts, profitability. Four profiles stand out in particular.

Landscape designer / manager 1–15 people

You quote for landscaping, you run the projects, you track maintenance contracts, and on Sunday night you’re manually copying the same plant items from an old quote to create a new one.

All in Orizen: private and public leads, plant quotes with item library, sites, recurring maintenance. The dashboard updates automatically.

Team leader / site manager

You juggle design projects and maintenance rounds, with high seasonality and field teams to coordinate. Schedules and hours are scattered across notebooks and emails.

A project = its phases, teams, schedule and hours. You know exactly where each project stands and how much time it truly cost.

Management/Administrative Assistant

Every month, you recreate maintenance contract invoices manually, one by one, hoping not to miss any or get the amounts wrong.

Maintenance contracts are subscriptions: Orizen automatically invoices at each due date and chases late payments. Export to Pennylane in one click.

Management — control & profitability

You know your revenue, but not your margin. A prestigious project can be a point of pride and a money pit: no one truly compares the quoted hours against the actual time spent.

Timesheet per project, margin = quote − actual hours − supplies. Finally know which projects and contracts make you money.

II The two sides of the trade, unified

Creation and recurring maintenance — in the same tool, seamlessly.

The visual breakdown below: the unique challenges faced by landscaping businesses (endless plant quotes, seasonality and project scheduling, tedious maintenance contracts to invoice, invisible profitability), how Orizen addresses each, a typical use case for a 1–15 person company, and a day in the life of a landscaping business using Orizen.

What you experience daily

The specific challenges of landscaping businesses

Estimating plant quotes with dozens of items, scheduling projects despite seasonality, invoicing recurring maintenance contracts without omissions and knowing if each project is truly profitable — it’s a management job in its own right, on top of creating gardens.

Endless plant quotes

A landscaping quote aligns dozens of line items: plants by species, calibre and quantity, hard landscaping, earthmoving, terraces, fencing, automatic irrigation, lighting, labour. Re-entering them in a spreadsheet for every project is time-consuming and error-prone.

Maintenance contracts that are tedious to invoice

Your mowing, trimming and weeding contracts are recurring revenue—but every month you have to recreate each invoice manually, one by one. Miss one, and revenue vanishes while cash flow suffers.

Invisible site profitability

You quote at a fixed price, but the actual team hours and cost of plant supplies aren’t fixed. Without time sheets per project, you don’t know which projects make you money and which lose it.

Seasonality, scheduling & tenders

Between the spring peak, maintenance routes and public sector tenders, scheduling is a nightmare. Without a structured pipeline or deadline tracking, you miss opportunities or waste time on poorly qualified leads.

Orizen for landscaping businesses

Everything you need, in one tool

Each module is designed to adapt to both aspects of the trade: landscape creation and recurring maintenance.

Plant quotes & item library

Build a reusable item library — plant types, sizes, supply and installation prices, standard works (masonry, irrigation, lighting) — and create detailed quotes in a few clicks instead of retyping everything. Electronic signatures and automatic quote follow-ups included.

Post library Plants e-Signature

Maintenance contracts = recurring subscriptions

Set up a maintenance contract (mowing, pruning, weeding, seasonal) once: amount, frequency (monthly, quarterly or per visit) and duration. Orizen automatically invoices at each due date and follows up on unpaid invoices. Your recurring revenue becomes predictable.

Recurring invoicing Automatic Reminders

CRM for private clients & public sector tenders

Track in a single pipeline private leads (gardens, terraces) and tenders from local authorities, developers and property managers: submission dates, documents, contacts. Alerts notify you before each deadline.

Private leads Tenders Deadlines

Project management by phase

Structure each creation site into phases (preparation, earthworks, planting, finishing) with milestones, scheduling and progress tracking. Coordinate your field teams and handle seasonality without losing track of a site.

Phases Scheduling Teams

Timesheet → actual profitability

Each team logs its time per project. Orizen compares estimated hours with actual hours and includes supply costs to calculate the real margin. You see project by project which are profitable and which are overrunning.

Actual hours Project margin Quoted vs actual

Client portal & Pennylane export

Your private and public sector clients track their quotes, projects and maintenance invoices via a dedicated portal, without accessing your internal workspace. All invoicing (one-off and recurring) exports to Pennylane in one click, with no re-entry.

Before Orizen: 3 tools, forgotten maintenance invoices

Plant quotes retyped in a spreadsheet, projects tracked by email, maintenance contracts invoiced one by one manually — with some sometimes forgotten. At the end of each month, the manager spent an evening reconstructing what still needed invoicing, never really knowing which projects were profitable.

With Orizen: everything is centralised

A typical day with Orizen

From plant quote to maintenance contract, seamlessly

Here’s how a landscaping business owner organises their day with Orizen

07:30 — Morning

Review of scheduling and deadlines

In 5 minutes, she sees the week’s projects, the maintenance routes to schedule and the public sector tenders to submit. Orizen alerts her to a creation quote pending for 8 days — the automatic follow-up has already been sent, and the client has just replied.

09:30 — New project

Plant quotes built from the library

A homeowner approves a garden design project. She builds the quote by dragging reusable items—plant species, calibres, automatic irrigation, labour—no re-typing, adjusts it and sends it for e-signature. The client signs immediately from their portal.

14:00 — Maintenance contract

A recurring subscription that bills itself

A property manager signs a green space maintenance contract. She sets it up once: mowing, trimming, monthly billing, one-year renewable. From then on, Orizen automatically issues the invoice at each due date and chases late payments—she never has to think about it again.

17:30 — End of day

Up-to-date profitability dashboard

Without lifting a finger, the dashboard reflects the real-time situation: ongoing sites, active maintenance contracts, hours spent per site, actual margin. Before the team meeting, she can see at a glance which sites are on budget and which are overrunning.

IV FAQs

Answers to the questions we’re asked most often

What are the specific management needs of a landscaper?

A landscaping business has two very distinct phases. First, design and creation: a landscaping project (sketch, planting plans, detailed quotes with dozens of plant items by species, calibre and quantity, landscape masonry, earthmoving, terraces, fencing, automatic irrigation, outdoor lighting, labour) followed by the construction phase. Then, recurring maintenance: contracts for mowing, pruning, weeding and seasonal interventions that generate recurring revenue to be invoiced month after month or per visit. On top of this, there is strong seasonality, a schedule of sites to coordinate and profitability that depends on the gap between estimated hours and actual hours worked. Design software (JARDInEO, SketchUp, DAO paysage) is for drawing; none of it manages the business side. Orizen takes over for all the management tasks.

How does Orizen handle plant quotes and their many line items?

A landscaping creation quote can easily run to dozens of lines: plants detailed by species, calibre and quantity, landscape masonry, earthmoving, terraces, fencing, automatic irrigation, outdoor lighting, labour. Orizen lets you build a library of reusable items—your favourite plant species, supply and installation prices, standard works—that you can drop into each quote in just a few clicks. No more retyping the same plants for every project: start with a rich, consistent quote, adjust it and have the client sign it electronically. Outstanding quotes are automatically followed up.

How does Orizen automate recurring maintenance contracts?

This is where Orizen truly transforms a landscaper’s workflow. A maintenance contract (mowing, pruning, weeding, leaf collection, seasonal interventions) is set up once as a recurring subscription: amount, frequency (monthly, quarterly or per visit) and duration. Orizen then automatically issues the invoice at each due date and follows up on late payments—without you having to lift a finger. Your recurring revenue becomes predictable and stops being a manual invoicing chore at month-end.

How can you track the actual profitability of a landscaping site?

On a creation site, the margin depends on the gap between the estimated hours and the actual hours worked by the field teams, plus the real cost of plant supplies and materials. Each team member logs their time per site; Orizen compares the estimate to the actual and shows you, site by site, where you’re making and where you’re losing money. You can then adjust your installation prices and labour ratios for future projects instead of discovering the truth at year-end.

Does Orizen help with public sector tenders?

Yes. Alongside private leads (gardens, terraces), many landscapers work for local authorities, developers, property managers or landlords, handling tenders and maintenance contracts for green spaces. Orizen’s sales pipeline tracks both worlds in parallel: private requests on one side, tender notices and public contracts on the other, with their submission deadlines, documents and contacts. Alerts notify you before a submission deadline so you never miss a contract due to poor tracking.

How much does Orizen cost for a landscaping business?

Orizen is billed per active user (landscape designers, team leaders, site managers, administrators). The pricing remains in line with industry-standard software, but natively includes CRM, plant quotes, site management, timesheets, recurring maintenance contracts with automated invoicing, e-signatures and the client portal—no need to stack additional modules. For a business with 1 to 15 people, it’s a single, transparent subscription rather than three or four separate tools.

V Our conviction

A landscaping business isn’t managed like an industrial SME.

A landscaping business operates in two interdependent phases: design (detailed plant quotes, landscaping projects) and recurring maintenance (contracts that return month after month). For years, these two phases had to be managed in separate systems—with entire evenings spent re-entering quotes and manually recreating maintenance invoices.

Design software (JARDInEO, SketchUp, landscape CAD) is irreplaceable for drawing, but doesn’t handle sales, quotes, or maintenance contracts. Industrial ERPs, on the other hand, ignore plant cost centres, recurring invoicing for maintenance contracts, and project profitability. For a 1–15 person business, none truly fit.

We’ve seen too many landscapers discover that a beautiful project was a money pit because no one compared quoted hours to actual time spent, forget to invoice a month of maintenance, or miss a public tender deadline because it was buried in an email.

So we built Orizen for landscaping businesses with 1–15 employees. Both sides of the trade in one tool, set up in a day, hosted in France. Because a company that wants to create beautiful gardens doesn’t have time for an IT project, but can no longer rely on spreadsheets that hide margins and let maintenance invoices slip through.
