WHO IT'S FOR
Plantburgh Portal for plant care businesses
An interior plant care route is 15 small visits a day: water, clean leaves, rotate, pull a yellow frond, swap a tired plant for a fresh one. Each visit needs notes and photos, each client wants to see what was done, and each visit needs an invoice. Run it from a notebook, a spreadsheet and a separate invoicing app, and something slips every week.
Plantburgh Portal is the system Plantburgh, a Pittsburgh interior plant care company, built to run its own clients. It is now open to other providers.
Pesticides indoors need a license
In Pennsylvania there is a category for this exact work. Commercial applicators who use a pesticide to control plant pests where the soil or plant is inside an enclosed building must be certified in Category 22, Interior Plantscape. That covers indoor containers and bed plantings in malls, office buildings, atriums and greenhouses that do not grow an agricultural crop.
So the record of what you applied matters. When a visit includes treating mealybugs or fungus gnats, the product, the plant and the date belong in the visit notes, next to the photos. The Portal keeps them in the same record as the visit and the invoice. Other states have their own categories; check with your state's department of agriculture.
A visit, start to finish
The day's route is planned from the calendar.
At the client's office, the tech opens the visit, waters, cleans and treats, and takes before and after photos.
Notes go in on the phone: what was done, what looks off, what needs replacing next time.
The AI assistant drafts the close-out and proposes the invoice. Nothing is issued until a person approves it.
The client sees the visit, photos and invoice in their portal and pays there.
What plant care work needs that generic CRMs miss
Every plant at every site: Clients, sites and plants in one record
Proof of the visit: Photos and notes on each visit
No double billing: One invoice per visit
Plant knowledge on hand: The interior plants trade pack, with care checklists
Extra hands for a big install: Giganize crew sign-up built in
Questions plant care businesses ask
Do my clients need to download an app?
No. Their portal is a web login where they book, see history and photos, and pay invoices.
What does the AI actually do?
It proposes: a visit on the calendar, a drafted close-out, an invoice. A person approves everything before it goes out.
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Clients, visits, quotes and invoices can be exported at any time.
How much does it cost?
The Portal is onboarding its first providers. Current plans are on plantburghportal.com.
