Software for the people who build the yards.
The story
It started with a bid that had to go out that night.
Yardro began with the problem every design-build shop describes the same way: the estimate goes out on gut feel and last year's numbers, the change order gets agreed in the driveway, and the real profit on the job shows up months later, at tax time, as a surprise.
So Yardro, an independent software company, built the back office that answers it, shaped around the way working design-build shops actually price a bid: estimates from your own price book, crew hours landing on jobs the day they're worked, labor burdened with the taxes and comp and overhead that gut feel always forgets. Each piece went into a real shop's week and came back changed until the margin number was one the owner would act on.
Every company that signs up gets that same back office: your own private Yardro, at your own address, with your own numbers in it. It is built for design-build and hardscape shops, at a flat price a working contractor would actually pay.
How we build it
Every module started as somebody’s Tuesday problem.
Yardro is built with design-build landscape and hardscape shops, not at them. A module exists because an owner needed it that week: a bid that had to go out that night, a crew week that had to reconcile against receipts, a ledger that has to square with QuickBooks.
We ship it, it gets used the next morning on a real job, and it keeps changing until the margin number is one the owner will act on. That is the whole method, and it is why the software talks like a contractor instead of a startup.
Every company gets its own private Yardro on the same flat plan: the same setup, the same crew clock, the same portal their clients see.
The sample job on the home page uses illustrative numbers; the mechanism it shows is the real one.

What we hold to
Three things we won't bend on.
Flat pricing, no charge per person
Your software bill shouldn't climb because you hired an office manager or handed the new guy a time clock. One flat number a month. Crew and client logins are free, always.
Your data in your own private database
Every company gets its own private database with its own encryption key. Your pricing, your margins, and your client list are never rows in someone else's shared database, and the whole history exports whenever you ask.
Proof over promises
No stock testimonials, no invented logos, no growth-chart theater, and no customer names we were not asked to share. What we show you is the software itself and what it costs.
