You should fight to keep your private landscaping software data safe and not have it held hostage :)
In the landscaping and lawn care industry, your "secret sauce" isn't just your talent—it’s your data. Your client lists, vendor pricing, and bidding strategies are what keep you competitive. Unfortunately, many software platforms today act more like data brokers than tools. They want to own your business intelligence to sell it back to the industry.
The Problem with "Big Data" in Landscaping
The "Data Broker" Threat: The global data broker market is projected to reach $512 billion by 2033, with consumer data (like us) making up the largest share of that revenue.
Most private landscaping software estimating apps store every detail of your business on their servers forever. This includes:
Your Proprietary Pricing: How you bid to stay profitable.
Geospatial History: Exactly where your crews are and which properties you service.
Contractor Networks: The valuable relationships you’ve built over decades.
OUR APP STORES NONE OF THAT
The ProfitZ Difference: Technical Privacy
At Structuralintel.org, we believe the best way to protect your data is to never have it in the first place. While we take the necessary PII (Personally Identifiable Information) to keep your account running, we’ve built our architecture with a Zero Retention policy for your sensitive business data.
We don't store your contractor lists, we don't track your trucks, and we don't sell your pricing trends. You get the power of AI-driven estimating without the risk of a data breach exposing your competitive advantage.
Take Control of Your Business Intelligence
Protecting your data isn't just about security; it’s about protecting your profit margins. Join the Founder's Circle today and use a tool that respects the privacy of the hard-working contractors who build our communities.
