The team behind Shepherd
We were our own first customer.
Shepherd started inside a working landscaping company — our own maintenance and construction crews needed field software that actually worked, so we built it. Then we opened it up, so any landscaping company can run on it, each in its own private, fully isolated workspace.

Our own scheduling, time tracking, gear checkout, and client communication all run through Shepherd — in the office and out on the job.
Why it's real
Because the people building Shepherd use it to run their own crews, every feature ships already proven on real trucks and real job sites — never built in an office and pushed on the field.
The outcome
Crews know the plan before they leave the yard, gear comes back where it belongs, and the people doing the work actually want to use it. Being our own first customer is proof we can't fake.
Your data
Every organization runs in its own isolated workspace, secured with row-level security. No other company — including ours — can see your data.
The trust effect
Putting employees first isn't idealistic. It's strategic.
When employees feel respected, they take ownership. Managers stop chasing details. Mistakes become rare. Retention goes up. Productivity stops feeling forced and starts being consistent — because your people aren't your overhead. They're your foundation.
