Site details
The property itself lives on the record: site photos, measurements, maps and plans tied to the job, so the estimate, the crew and the closeout all describe the same real place.

Olie by DRT Technologies: business software for landscaping, pool and irrigation companies
Olie by DRT Technologies is business software for outdoor contractors that keeps every lead, estimate, proposal, schedule, field record and invoice on one job record. DRT built it inside an outdoor design-build company that runs on it every day.
Where jobs slip today
Most outdoor contractors run on a work board, a field app, accounting software, a shared drive, texts and the owner's memory. The same job gets retyped into most of them. Updates from the field show up late. The proposal, the contract and the change order drift into different versions. The owner finds out about a missing cost or a stalled approval after it has already cost margin or trust. And because the knowledge lives in one person, the company can't grow without that person in every job.
We know, because we ran that company. Every tool we tried wanted the business to change to fit the software. So we built it the other way around: around how a job actually moves, from the first walkthrough to the final invoice.
What it's for
One current version of every job that everyone accountable works from, and a system that makes the next required action obvious before work or money falls into a gap.
A record you can trust, with an assistant on it
Olie keeps the job record current and puts an assistant on it. The assistant catches the missed handoff and drafts the next step with its reasoning shown. A person approves. Signed documents are saved exactly as signed, and every edit is kept in the job's history.
▸ What it does
From first walkthrough to warranty.
Quotes turn into contracts, schedules and invoices without anyone retyping a number.
▸
Quote and contract
Priced line by line with the math checked, sent, tracked, and signed. The signed version keeps an immutable receipt.
▸
Schedule and field
Crews, equipment and dates. Photos, notes and change orders captured on site and attached to the job rather than lost in a phone.
▸
Invoice and close
Progress billing against the contract, running balances, and a close-out that carries the as-built record, the media and the warranty — so your accountant has what they need for the books.
▸
Your company's data, kept separate
Each company has its own separate data, users and permissions, and sign-in uses two-step verification. Your data is yours, and you can export it any time.
▸
Full history
Olie keeps the history of every important change. Who did what, when, and what it looked like before.
▸ AI under your control
The assistant drafts. Your team decides.
Olie's assistant works from your job records, and you stay in control: it reads the record and drafts the next step, and a person approves anything that touches money, a customer or a commitment.
01
Runs on our own servers
Olie's assistant runs on servers we operate. An outside AI vendor stays off for your company until you turn it on, for a specific task, after we show you exactly what it would see. Even then, it gets only what that task needs, never your whole record.
02
It drafts, you approve
Agents propose with their reasons showing and never act alone. Prices always come from your price book. Invoices, contracts, payments and customer messages each wait for a human decision, and every one leaves a receipt.
03
Your data is yours, and trains no one else
Your data is never used to train AI for another company, and connecting a tool doesn't change that. What Olie learns from your corrections stays yours.
04
Bring your own assistant
You can connect an AI assistant like Claude to your Olie records. It sees only what you allow, follows the same approval rules, and you can turn it off in one click.
▸ Connectors
Connects to what you already run.
Olie doesn't ask you to throw out your accounting or re-key your calendar. It connects to the systems you already pay for, under permissions you grant and can pull back.
01
Keep your accounting system
Accounting, payroll and tax stay in the system you already trust; Olie connects to it rather than trying to replace it. You choose, per area, what Olie owns and what stays external.
02
Granted, scoped, revocable
Each connection gets only the access it needs, and you control it. Imported data waits for your review before it's added, and you can turn off any connection yourself.
03
One place to see it
A connections hub shows every integration in plain language: what's connected, what it can do, and what needs your attention.
▸ What it changes
Fewer things fall through. The owner gets out of every job.
What changes once the whole company works from one record.
01
Nothing waits on somebody remembering
The missing approval, the unsent change order, the cost that never got logged. The record shows what's stalled and who owns it before it turns into a margin problem.
02
One version of the job
The estimate, the contract, the schedule and the field notes describe the same job on the same property. When something changes, it changes once, and the history of the change is kept.
03
The knowledge stays with the company
What a job actually cost, what the crew found on site, what the customer was promised. It stays on the record, so the business can take on more work without the owner in every conversation.
04
Yours to keep
Your data, exportable any time in open formats. Olie replaces the operational tool pile and connects to the accounting software you already use.
▸ Who it's for
Outdoor contractors, 10 to 75 people.
Owner-led outdoor contractors with crews, long jobs and recurring service.
01
Design-build and site work
Landscape, hardscape, pools, outdoor construction. Long jobs, change orders, crews, equipment and weather. It's the work Olie was built on.
02
Property care and maintenance
Recurring routes and seasonal work riding on the same job record as the builds, so the maintenance history and the construction history are one property's story.
03
Companies outgrowing the tool pile
If today's setup is a work board, a field app, QuickBooks, spreadsheets and email, with the same job retyped into most of them, Olie puts that work in one place and connects to your accounting software.
▸ Why it's ours to build
The same people build the website, the media and the software.
Olie is built by a company that does the field work, builds the marketing that sells it, and needed the two to agree.
01
Built on real jobs
Every workflow in Olie exists because a real job needed it, and gets fixed when a real job breaks it.
02
The website knows what the software knows
Because DRT builds both, the public site and the operation are built to agree on services, availability and pricing instead of being retyped into each other and drifting.
03
Built for every company
Every business gets its own separate data, users and permissions, set up for how that company works.
▸ Availability
In active development. In production every day.
Olie is in active development, and it moves at the pace of the crews using it. When a job in the field needs something new, the system changes to meet it.
01
