Toro Enhances Horizon360 Software

The Toro Co. added new features to its Horizon360 Business Management Software.

The new features are designed to help landscape contractors more effectively track the productivity of their crews and equipment, automate their billing process and enhance the time management of their businesses.

The updates include:

• The ability to automate customer communications, which means no more calling or texting. This feature can be used to schedule appointments, alert customers of upcoming service, communicate changes to the job, such as rescheduling due to inclement weather, and notify customers when a job is complete. Additionally, the CRM tool can be used for marketing business promotions and reminding customers of yearly service opportunities.
• Communications can be created based on a preselected template, or green industry pros can build their own template with custom fields.
• The new system collects all recently completed jobs and sends invoices out for payment at your desired frequency. Choose from monthly, biweekly or immediately after service.  The process has just two steps: First, an email is generated and sent to the customer to notify them that an invoice has been made ready for payment. Then, customers simply click on the link and make the payment. Repeat customers can save a credit card on file for simple payment processing every time.

Additionally, to ensure the payment process is secure for both contractors and their clients, Horizon360 software has partnered with Evo Payments, a provider of payment technology integrations and acquiring solutions. All Toro contractors will be able to utilize Evo’s secure cloud-based payment processing solutions to accept and manage their payments within their Horizon360 software suite.
