Our dedicated data conversion team has migrated data from many of the systems that our clients are looking to move their data from. A data analyst works with each client to identify timelines, milestones and the steps that will be taken to move your data into RealGreen and validate the results.
Included with your base RealGreen licenses are training and onboarding (where indicated), as well as resources and support. These resources include:
- WorkWave University: Our Learning Management System (LMS) that delivers a self-guided online learning experience.
- RealGreen Community: A self-service platform and knowledge base containing how-to articles and videos for setup, usage and best practices, as well as the opportunity to network with other lawn professionals.
- New customers will meet 1:1 with an implementation specialist to get questions answered, with follow-ups available depending on products purchased.
For those looking for more in-depth support and learning, we also offer continued training and professional services, for an additional cost.
Service Autopilot was built around mowing companies and lacks the built-in functionality lawn care operators need as they scale — custom treatment program scheduling, pre-pay calculators and letters, and targeted upsell workflows. RealGreen includes these as standard, pre-built features. It also stores all customer data securely in the cloud; if you ever leave Service Autopilot, your data is returned as a spreadsheet, not a database.
Service Autopilot’s scheduling is based on set schedules, which limits flexibility for companies running custom treatment programs with variable cycle windows. RealGreen’s Dynamic Routing was the first routing product purpose-built for lawn care — honoring technician certifications, vehicle capacity, service windows, and same-side-of-street optimization. Customers consistently report adding 4+ stops per day.
No. RealGreen provides a dedicated migration team to move your data from Service Autopilot, including customer records, programs, and billing history. Your implementation specialist will walk you through each step.
A Trusted Solution
"The way we can communicate with our customers gives us versatility that competitors don’t have: If customers prefer to receive an email or text message, two days prior to service or the day of, we have all of those abilities built-in within the system."
- Richard DeWolf, Director of Business Solutions, Senske Services
"In 2011, we had four employees. We were a half-million dollar company. By 2022, we had 50 employees and were a $5 million company. I think that tells you how much we have grown. It’s with RealGreen’s help that it was able to happen."
- Bob Brower, General Manager, Lawn Plus

- Jamie Petti, Office Manager, Turf Pride
