Software Workflow Specialist at Timberline Landscaping

Looking to increase my knowledge in Aspire so I can help the whole company understand it better and thrive. Also interested in different tips from experts who have had some of the same issues we have.

I have worked at Timberline for 7 ½ years and have been in 4 different positions within that timeframe (I like to call myself a chameleon because I am able to blend in across the different departments).

Located in SE Pennsylvania 

I have been with C. Caramanico & Sons, Inc. for over 25 years and have seen a lot of changes through those years, the best of which was signing up with Aspire 7 years ago. 

Looking forward to Ignite 2024! Connecting with others and sharing solutions to issues is a great way to learn more about the software as it evolves. 

My name is Chris Hays, located in Springfield, IL, with Green View Landscapes. I’m a Turf Specialist, but I came back to Green View after being an account manager with another company that was using Aspire so I’ve taken on some Aspire functions particularly during this first year.

I hope to be able to learn from others who have been using Aspire much longer and have figured some things out, as well as keep up to date with new developments, and hopefully help provide feedback that will make the system better in the future.

I’m a huge sports fan (go Niners), and enjoy gaming, reading, and exploring botanical gardens and trying new food with my wife.

Are y’all running any robots at the moment? I’ve been able to put a few in the field over my years, but I’m always curious to hear other people’s experiences and thoughts. So many new entries into the space all the time.
