Software for landscape lighting installers
Path lights, accent fixtures and an evening adjustment visit make different entries in a project. Record the approved lighting scope, access notes and material choices so the crew and client can follow the work from estimate to final invoice.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
A conversation about illuminating a tree does not establish fixture quantities or installation labor. Put the accepted work into clear descriptions and keep the technical design in the records you use for that purpose.
Aiming fixtures after dark may require another visit and a different access conversation. Agree whether that work is included instead of leaving the crew or client to assume it.
Finish, mounting method and the chosen fitting matter when purchasing. Capture the approved choice before an older message sends the wrong product to the property.

It does not perform electrical calculations, select transformers or produce lighting designs. Use suitable specialist tools and qualified expertise before entering quantities and accepted installation scope.
Describe that visit as part of the accepted scope or as a separate agreed service. Add an appointment and assigned staff for the time you confirm directly with the client.
Microtra does not control fixtures or connect to lighting controllers. It keeps the business work, costs and billing around the installation organized.
