Mastiff vs Spreadsheets
The most common 'system' in land clearing. A spreadsheet for jobs, another for customers, a notebook of quotes on the dash. It works until it doesn't. One missed row, one outdated cell, and jobs — and follow-ups worth real money — fall through the cracks.

The gaps
What Spreadsheets is missing for land clearing companies
No automation. Everything is manual entry after a long day in the cab.
Quoting is whatever got scribbled at the walk-through — no density classes, no consistent rates between jobs.
No real-time status. The spreadsheet says what the operation looked like the last time somebody updated it.
No invoicing, no payments, no customer portal.
No collaboration. Two people editing = merge conflicts, and the crew can't see it from the field.
No alerts — an aging quote or an unpaid invoice looks exactly like every other row.
