It’s a beautiful thing. Could almost make a grown man cry.
Your insurance goes up? Buy a new truck? Hire an office admin? Want to pay yourself more?
No problem.
Plug it into your budget, and SynkedUP takes care of the rest, ensuring you always achieve your profit goals.

How Does it Actually Work?
The Old Way
The SynkedUP Way
The Old Way
Price jobs based on your own sense of “what you’re worth” and what your competition is charging.
The SynkedUP Way
Price jobs based on your business’s actual expenses
- direct costs
- overhead costs
- your owner’s salary
- equipment
- desired profit margin (and more)
SynkedUP does the magic math to calculate your man hour rate and markups to cover all your expenses AND make a profit.
The Old Way
You give a quote to Mrs Jones, and she asks if “you can knock some off.”
So you negotiate and accept a lower price.
The SynkedUP Way
When Mrs Jones ask if you can knock some off, you know EXACTLY what your break even and profit on that job is, because of your SynkedUP budget.
You reply “Sure! What would you like to remove from the scope of work?”
Your new found confidence allows you to negotiate on scope of work, not price.
Never sacrifice your profit again.
The Old Way
Your insurance bill goes up, you buy new equipment, and hire an office admin.
Your man hour rate and pricing on your quotes stay the same.
The SynkedUP Way
Your insurance bill goes up, you buy new equipment, and hire an office admin…
…and you simply plug those new expenses into your budget.
The very next quote you send out later today is priced correctly to the penny.
Never sacrifice profit.
The Old Way
You wonder if you can afford that new shiny toy, tilt rotator, or whatever it is that strikes your fancy.
And you just stay stuck wondering.
Maybe you’ll just break down one day and buy it. But… you still don’t KNOW.
The SynkedUP Way
You wonder if you can afford that shiny new toy
…so you plug it into your budget. Even though you didn’t buy it yet.
You send out your next quote (with pricing based on that budget)
You sell the job. Bingo. You just proved to yourself that you can sell at those new rates. You just got permission to buy that toy.

Most landscapers just decide what they want per hour and slap it on the estimate. But that doesn’t help you plan for the profit you want, and the bills you need to pay.
That’s why when you sign up, the first thing you get is a Financial Coach to personally help set up your budget.
Aren’t you tired of just hoping you’re making enough money?
With the right budgeting, man-hour rate, and job costing, you don’t need to worry about end-of-year consequences.
Open the app any time of the month, and you’ll know how much you’re making and what you need to do to stay in the black.
3 years ago I was buying tools from Harbor Freight on a credit card. Today I wrote a check for $59,000 for an excavator attachment - no stress.
