Where LawnVex fits
LawnVex connects an operator-reviewed property measurement to three-tier quoting, scheduling, routing, invoicing, Stripe payments, and supported QuickBooks Online synchronization. The operator remains responsible for boundaries, scope, rates, job conditions, completion, payment exceptions, and accounting reconciliation. Each handoff should retain the source record, the person who approved the change, unresolved exceptions, and the next accountable owner so another team member can continue without guessing.
