About Okason

Built for crews who run the business from the truck

Okason is a landscaping business app for owners running a two to five person crew. Estimate in the yard, schedule the crew, invoice from the driveway, and your customer pays by card from their phone. It's built by one founder who listened to landscapers before writing a line of code for them.

I'm Val. For years I built an invoicing app called Pronto Invoice. One day its analytics answered a question I never asked: the biggest group of people using it were landscaping and lawn care crews, invoicing their customers straight from the yard.

I never marketed to them. I never built for them. They found the app on their own and used it anyway.

That got my attention for a second reason. I'm a homeowner in San Diego, and I've spent years trying to understand my own yard: the lawn, the palms, the irrigation, what to do and when. So when landscapers showed up in my data, I wanted to know what else they were dealing with.

So I went where you talk. Facebook groups and Reddit, months of reading before I built anything for you. The same things came up over and over. Software built for a desk, used from a truck. Systems built for a company ten times your size. An empty screen and a setup wizard at 9pm, after a twelve-hour day.

Okason is my answer to that. If you can text, you can run it. Learn it in an afternoon, not a season.

I didn't pick this trade off a market-size chart. You were already there. I just had the data to see you, and the sense to listen first. If something breaks or doesn't make sense, write to me. I read every message.

How Okason works

Send the estimate from the yard. When the customer approves, schedule the job and assign the crew. When the work is done, send the invoice before you pull out of the driveway. The customer pays by card from the email.
