Plowz & Mowz Acquires Check To Offer An All-in-One Landscaping Business Suite
In a strategic move aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency and financial health of small landscaping businesses, Plowz & Mowz has announced its acquisition of Check, a payment and business management app designed specifically for the landscaping industry's owner-operators. This segment represents three-quarters of the industry, highlighting the significance of this acquisition. The financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed.
The integration of Check into Plowz & Mowz's offerings addresses a critical challenge identified through research: less than half of the landscaping partners on the Plowz & Mowz platform accept credit card payments for transactions conducted off-platform. This gap in payment options has created a cash flow obstacle, especially as homeowners increasingly prefer the convenience of contactless and secure credit card payments.

Wills Mahoney, Co-Founder of Plowz & Mowz, emphasized the comprehensive benefits of this acquisition, stating, "Our powerful, all-in-one suite integrates robust business management and payment tools, including credit card processing from Check, with Plowz & Mowz's proven instant-job marketplace." He further highlighted the elimination of the need for multiple, disconnected software programs, allowing landscapers to streamline operations and maximize revenue-generating opportunities.
The acquisition is not just about simplifying operations; it's also about empowering landscapers to enhance their cash flow. Check's integrated payment system facilitates instant credit card payments, thereby accelerating the pace at which landscapers receive funds. This improvement in cash flow is crucial for maintaining and improving their financial health.
Moreover, Check offers features aimed at automating tasks and managing crews and finances more efficiently. These features are designed to save landscapers an average of 25 hours a month on administrative work, translating into annual savings of $12,000 in overhead costs. Additionally, Check provides access to Plowz & Mowz Connect, offering exclusive, custom projects through its instant-job marketplace.
Feedback from users has been overwhelmingly positive. Robert Hinkle of EZ Landscaping Services shared his experience: "Check's seamless payment automation and customized business management have been a game changer for us. Especially with credit card processing, we’ve seen a dramatic reduction in outstanding bills, freeing up time to focus on growth."
