What changes with MakeHay
Quote, schedule, get paid, come back.
Schedule around the weather, not despite it
Sweeping in a downpour is a wasted night, and a rule in MakeHay says so: rain under 50% on the visit, checked at each lot's address from the National Weather Service forecast. Monthly and weekly sweeps repeat with an end date, and striping and sealcoating on the same lot carry their own stricter rules.
- Weekly and monthly sweeps generated for the contract term
- Rain flags per lot, from the rule you set
- Striping and sealcoat rules on the same calendar
- Crew colors, so the night crew sees which lots are theirs
Quote it before you leave the site
Quote sweeping per lot per visit, pressure washing by the square foot, and striping and sealcoating by the stall and the foot from the same price book. A management company is one customer with every lot under it, each with its own quote. The property manager approves from their phone.
Get paid without chasing
Sweeps invoice by the month with ACH, so the fee stays small on a portfolio. One-time work (a restripe, a seal) invoices in one click from the approved quote. Overdue reminders go out automatically, and the receivables card shows which manager is behind.
Keep every customer for the re-do
Maintenance is a renewal business. Every lot keeps its square footage, stall count, sweep history, and what was quoted, so the annual renewal and the sealcoat upsell start from the record.
Give every customer a portal
One private link per customer: messages with photos, documents you request, a heads-up on any contract waiting for their e-signature, and invoices they pay. No app, no password, free.

FAQ
Parking lot maintenance questions, answered straight.
Is it really free for lot maintenance crews?
Yes. Unlimited customers, lots, quotes, scheduling, and invoices, free forever, not a trial. No monthly plan, no seat fees, and no credit card to start.
Does it handle recurring sweeps?
Yes. Set a lot to repeat weekly or monthly with an end date and the visits generate onto the calendar, each with the lot's forecast.
Can I bill a property manager for all their lots at once?
Each lot is a job site under one customer. Invoice per lot, or one invoice with each lot's sweeps as lines, paid by ACH from a link.
Can I quote striping and sealcoating from the same account?
Yes. The same price book holds sweeps, washing, striping per stall, and sealcoat per square foot, and the lot's satellite measurement feeds the quantities.
Can I prove we swept a lot on a given night?
Yes. The visit is on the record with its date, and a photo sent from the lot is dated, emailed to the manager, and kept in their portal.
What's the catch for a lot maintenance business?
No catch. The software costs us almost nothing per crew to run, so it is free. Online card and ACH payments carry processing costs, as they would with any provider.
