How Inventory & Parts Tracking Actually Looks in Landscaping & Lawn Care

The Scenario

Mulch, fertilizer, and plant material loaded onto trailers each morning. The crew leader signs out materials on a clipboard. End of month, actual material costs are 20% over estimates.

The Real Impact

Untracked material usage masks shrinkage and over-application, eroding margins on landscape install jobs by 10–20%.

What the Research Says

Inventory shrinkage in untracked environments runs 2–10% of total inventory value. The U.S. lost $112.1 billion to inventory shrinkage in 2022.
