Hello, Community!We’d like to develop a more comprehensive yet interactive way to track client details on a personal level--essentially building a custom profile on the client. We do not want to use a program that sits totally outside and detached from Aspire. What plug-ins have you used that work well with Aspire and the API?If you have any internal Aspire tips & tricks, I’m all ears for those too!Thanks!
Good morning! If you’re outside the greater Chicago/Milwaukee area, you use turf/PHC kits, and you’re open to networking, I’d love to chat with you!One of our branches uses kits for organic lawn programs, and we’re attempting to streamline our existing kits for our sales team to easily sell, while still maintaining the ability to track performance per work ticket.If you are open to sharing the kits you use, we’d gladly share our kits we we can both learn what works well for each other.Look forward to connecting!
Please help me vote this idea uphttps://feedback.youraspire.com/ideas/WAP-I-7597The concept is simple - being able to allocate kits -- or -- simply calculated multiple items used based on a single input and usage rate would significant reduce complexity for things like chemical tank mixes.For example; If I can create a “Round 1” kit to be allocated by the gallon, and the items in the kit are consumed on a per-gallon basis, then simply entering the number of gallons used should reverse-calculate the chemicals or items contained within that gallon.This would remove the need to create a fictitious items with a manually calculated cost per gallons outside of Aspire, as well remove the need to do a monthly inventory adjustment to balance inventory items with fictitious tank mix gallons.
Hello all,I’m trying to adjust a price for a kit in Aspire to adjust the margin, but when I type in the new number, a notification pops up that says, “You can only reduce the price by 0%.” It doesn’t let me change the price. It only happens sometimes but happens for things both catalog and one-time items.Has anyone run into this problem before? Do you have any idea how to fix it?Thank you,Emily

We are in the process of setting up emails to send to our customers to confirm completion of some of our turf services, however it’s not allowing me to send the test email to myself to confirm that the formatting of the email came through how I was anticipating. I have tried to choose several different tickets for the test (all the correct service) and have tried several different email addresses to send it to besides my own, and I always get a red error box that pops up telling me that an error was encountered and to try again. Is this happening to anyone else?
Hi all,I am currently using data from API for my reporting.

Hello everyone!Has anyone put together a simple way to track which Aspire courses each employee has completed (and which are still outstanding)? I’m imagining a master spreadsheet listing all courses, ideally grouped by role, with an easy way to mark completion by employee.I’m happy to build this, but I wanted to check first if something like it already exists. Also, would anyone else find a template like this useful?

I believe many companies experience end-of-month close challenges due to this control gap.Please take a moment to vote on this idea. Thank you. https://feedback.youraspire.com/ideas/WAP-I-6591 I am writing to request improved system controls around invoice adjustment permissions, specifically for fixed-payment contracts.We have identified a recurring issue where invoice administrators—sometimes with limited experience—are able to issue $0 invoices on fixed-payment contracts in an attempt to override the Invoicing Assistant. While this may appear to resolve short-term workflow challenges, it creates significant downstream issues during month-end close, including billing inaccuracies, reconciliation complications, and reporting inconsistencies.From a control and audit perspective, the ability to issue zero-amount invoices on fixed-payment contracts introduces unnecessary risk. This behavior is not always intentional misuse but rather a lack of guardrails within the system.We would like t
Does anyone know how to stop a cancelled work ticket from showing in route scheduling? The ticket is 100% cancelled, but continues to be available for scheduling no matter what I’ve tried. Screenshots are from the route scheduling and from the work ticket search.

I am probably just misunderstanding how something works. But, I am wondering on inventory items why can I not update the purchase unit cost after the item has been created? I assume it’s because it will take the most recent purchase unit actual cost from historical purchases. But what if you haven’t purchased one ever and you need to update pricing for the coming year? In this particular case, I am wanting to update a chemical mix cost based on a new formulation.
On our smaller construction work orders, we typically set up billing with a 0% deposit and 100% payment at completion. This approach works well for us in about 95% of cases.We recently had a project that was delayed mid‑job, before reaching completion, and we would like to invoice a portion of the remaining balance (for example, 40%) at this stage.Given that this job is set up as Fixed Price on a Payment Schedule (not Fixed Price Open Billing), is it possible to issue a partial invoice prior to completion?For reference, we do use Fixed Price Open Billing on our larger projects.
Hello all, any help will be greatly appreciated! We are a growing company and want to begin pricing maintenance services by unit—such as cost per square foot for mowing, bed maintenance, and blowing, and cost per linear foot for weed eating and edging. What are effective methods for calculating these rates without relying solely on shadowing crews and timing their work in the field?

We have been unable to open documents in Crew Mobile.I noticed it may be an iphone issue b/c our Google phones are able to open them.Maybe b/c of ios 26.2 update??
I don’t really understand why I can change any past months payment schedule amounts as those invoices have already been processed and paid. However, even more confusing is why some can be changed and not others? In this screenshot, this client started in March. They had a pricing change mid, year, and now are on another pricing change. Why is this what the payment schedule screen looks like when I open it? April-August have already been paid so why aren’t they greyed out like sept-jan?

I am curious to see everyone’s opinion on this topic. I want to see purchase prices and allocations cost in my margins, in the month I am performing the work, on the day I am allocating the cost not when I am changing the cost…..or better yet, can Aspire not auto calculate the purchase difference when you open a PO and receive it and auto calculate the allocations thereafter. Does anyone re-allocate after making a price change to make sure their GM are accurate? ...Rock The Vote: WAP-I-7549
Hey allI see that the way to manually verify/edit T&M tickets is to check one item at a time and then go to bulk actions and complete, and then to just enter one number for the price override. This seems weird. It seems like since T&M are a pretty unique setup that there would be a better developed process for manually modifying hours/materials prior to going to invoicing. How do we know the way it will apply the pricing adjustment and what the customers will see on their end when just one flat override? Am I missing something? Can I edit at the invoice level?
It used to be that a login with Pin or email was only neccessary 1x a week or so.Now each time the Ap is closed we must log in again when we come back?Is there a fix or setting on our end for this?

I love that we now have the ability to pull contact information via Aspire Mobile but is it just hindsight that its only pulling from Office Number? If a number is in home or mobile it will not generate the phone icon to give the crew leaders the number. Is this intentional?
