Service Plans

Lavo CRM Service Plans, currently in beta, let exterior cleaning companies offer recurring maintenance with customer-signed online agreements. Signing activates the membership and links a job. Recurring, selected-month and assigned route-day plans generate visits within a configured look-ahead window; manual plans need staff scheduling. Invoices follow the chosen billing cycle, and automatic card payments require customer authorization.

Service Plans FAQs

How do customers sign up?

Share a public plan sign-up page or send a personal invitation. Customers review and sign online. Staff cannot sign or activate a membership on the customer’s behalf.

What happens in the CRM after a customer signs?

The membership becomes Active and a linked job holds its visits and invoices. Staff sign-up alerts are queued for bell and push notifications. Billing and visit generation follow the plan’s settings; manual plans still need staff to schedule visits.

Do visits schedule themselves?

Recurring and selected-month plans generate visits within the configured look-ahead window. Route-day plans do so once a weekday is assigned. If the weekday is missing, staff see Needs route day. Manual plans generate no visits; staff schedule each one.

Can visits have no specific time?

Yes. Without a default appointment time, plan visits are Anytime / Flexible. Staff can organize these stops in Day Route without moving fixed appointments.

Does every plan charge a card automatically?

No. Automatic payments require the customer’s authorization. A plan can require that authorization before signing; otherwise customers choose whether to enable automatic payments. Without automatic payments, invoices remain payable by the customer.

What happens if a required automatic payment fails?

The plan stays active and the invoice remains open. Lavo CRM queues customer and staff notices and a retry after three days. The customer can update their saved card; service is not cancelled automatically.

What does Beta mean?

Service Plans is still in beta. The feature is available for customer sign-ups, recurring visits and billing, and is being refined through feedback. Review your plan’s terms, schedule and billing settings before inviting customers.
