Effective communication is the backbone of any successful landscaping business. Whether it’s managing client relationships or coordinating with suppliers, every phone call, email, or meeting matters. Yet, keeping track of these interactions can be a monumental challenge—until now.

At CQ, we’ve developed a powerful new feature: action logs and email tracking. This update ensures that every interaction is logged, tracked, and easily accessible, creating clarity and accountability in your workflows. Let’s dive into how it works and why it’s a game-changer for landscapers.

The Communication Challenges Landscapers Face

For Jobs

Managing client communication can feel like juggling a dozen spinning plates:

• Important details from emails, calls, and meetings get lost in the shuffle.
• Follow-up tasks are forgotten, leading to delays and missed opportunities.
• Information is scattered across different tools, making it hard to find when you need it.

For Suppliers

Dealing with suppliers brings its own set of challenges:

• Conversations across multiple jobs blur together, creating confusion.
• Clarifying past agreements or instructions becomes time-consuming.
• A lack of centralized communication records leads to inefficiencies and misunderstandings.

How CQ’s Action Logs and Email Tracking Solve These Challenges

For Jobs: Centralized Communication Records

• Log Every Interaction: Track calls, emails, meeting notes, and tasks in one place.
• Assign and Follow Up: Assign tasks to team members, set reminders, and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
• Email Integration: Automatically track all sent and received emails, creating a clear and comprehensive history for each job.

For Suppliers: Simplified Collaboration

• Log Supplier Interactions: Track discussions about material deliveries, pricing, and timelines across multiple jobs.
• Create a Central Record: All communication with suppliers is stored in one place, making it easy to reference past conversations.
• Resolve Disputes Faster: Clear logs provide evidence to quickly clarify misunderstandings or resolve issues.

Action Logs for Jobs

Imagine you’ve had a call with a client to discuss changes to a project timeline. Here’s how you’d log it in CQ:

1. Open the job’s action log.
2. Add a new entry: select “Call,” summarize the discussion, and assign a follow-up task to your project manager.
3. Set a reminder for the follow-up task.

Action Logs for Suppliers

Say you’ve spoken to a supplier about material deliveries for three upcoming jobs. Here’s how CQ simplifies it:

1. Log the call under the supplier’s profile, summarizing the key points discussed.
2. Attach the relevant job details to the entry.
3. Reference this log anytime you need clarity on what was agreed.
