Customer Background

Founded in 1973, TruGreen® is one of the leading lawn care companies, serving over 2.3 million residential and commercial customers across North America. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, TruGreen has built a reputation for delivering exceptional lawn maintenance services through science-backed expertise and innovative solutions.

Challenges

The client struggled with inconsistent field technician performance, leading to increased customer churn. The lack of real-time visibility into on-site activities made it difficult to assess and improve service quality.

Key challenges:

  • No system to track technician routes and service execution.
  • Inconsistent service quality affected customer retention.
  • Limited insights for targeted training and performance improvement.
  • Inefficient reporting made issue identification difficult.

Solution

To address these challenges, we conducted a detailed evaluation of TruGreen’s field service operations, including service speed, travel paths, and performance benchmarks. We developed an IoT-driven monitoring solution using /IoTConnect that integrates real-time data tracking and analytics.

  • Path tracking – Logs technician movement across properties, allowing managers to review service routes.
  • Speed monitoring – Detects deviations from predefined performance standards and triggers alerts.
  • Arrival & departure time logging – Captures timestamps to enhance accountability.
  • Time tracking – Measures time spent per service, comparing it against industry benchmarks.

Data visualization & reporting:

  • Power BI dashboard: Enables filtering and analysis based on speed, service time, and performance trends.
  • Device health monitoring: Reports GPS sensor failures, gyroscope status, battery health, and dropped devices.
  • IoT data processing insights: Tracks data collection, transmission, and analysis time.
  • Power Apps interface: Displays technician routes, service times, applied treatments, and comparisons to benchmarks.
