GreenLawn sees the shift from traditional pen and paper methods to digital record-keeping as a way to streamline their operations, boost productivity, and foster sustainable expansion in an increasingly digital landscape. They feel that digitalization could enhance collaboration and communication within their business by enabling real-time sharing and communication.
