Plenty of local businesses don't fit in one box. You started with house cleaning, a customer asked if you could mow while you were there, and two years later you're running cleaning, lawn care and a pest route out of the same yard. That's a normal growth path. What's not normal is how badly most multi-service business software handles it. This guide covers what "one login" should actually mean, why most tools make you choose between generic and single-industry, and how to add a second line in ProTyz without splitting your business in two.
What goes wrong when you run two accounts
The obvious fix when your cleaning software doesn't do lawn care is to sign up for a lawn tool too. It works for about a month. Then the cracks show:
- Two client lists. The same customer exists in both systems. Her new phone number gets updated in one and not the other; her gate code lives in the app the crew isn't looking at.
- Two calendars, one crew. Nothing stops you booking the same person for a Tuesday morning clean and a Tuesday morning lawn cut. You find out when the customer calls.
- Two websites. Customers who found you for pest control have no idea you also clean.
- Two bills. Each tool charges per user, so every team member costs you twice.
The alternative is a generic field-service tool that treats every job the same. That solves the "one account" problem but loses everything specific: bedroom-based pricing, lawn-size tiers, quarterly pest plans, the seasonal reminders that keep recurring revenue alive.
What "one login" should actually give you
Here's the checklist a multi-line business needs. If a tool can't tick all of these, you'll end up back at two accounts.
One client list across every line
A client is a person with an address, not a row in a per-service spreadsheet. When someone books a lawn cut and later a deep clean, both jobs belong on the same record with a per-line history. In ProTyz, clients are scoped to your business, not a service line: the record is found-or-created on email, so a customer booking through your cleaning page and your pest page ends up as one person with one set of addresses, pets and notes.
One team, with per-line qualifications
Not everyone on your crew does everything. Your pest tech holds a license the cleaners don't; your lawn lead shouldn't be assigned a move-out clean. ProTyz lets you mark which lines each team member is qualified for, alongside their schedule and unavailability, so the scheduler only offers people who can do the job.
A cross-line double-booking check
This is the one most tools miss, because they were never built to know about a second line. If Marcus is booked for a 9 a.m. clean, he must not be available for a 9 a.m. lawn job, regardless of which page the customer booked through. ProTyz runs the conflict check across all service lines, so a person can't be double-booked whether the jobs come from the same line or different ones.
A roll-up view and a single-line view
Some days you want to see the whole business: every booking, every client, total revenue. Other days you're planning the pest route and the cleaning jobs are noise. The dashboard should let you switch. ProTyz has a vertical switcher at the top of the dashboard: "All service lines" rolls everything together in Overview, Bookings, Clients, Opportunities and Analytics, and picking a single line filters every tab down to just that work.
One website per line, one business behind them
Customers search for "pest control near me," not "multi-service company." Each line deserves its own booking website with its own template, services and pricing, so the pest page reads like a pest company, while one client list, one team and one calendar sit behind all of them. That's how ProTyz treats it: each service line gets its own site and booking flow, and everything lands in the same dashboard.
Why most software charges per product or splits you in two
Vendors mostly build for one industry because it's easier to sell. As of mid-2026 (check each vendor's pricing page):
| Tool | Built for | How it handles a second service line |
|---|---|---|
| Jobber | General field service | One account, but generic: no cleaning-, lawn- or pest-specific pricing inputs or seasonal logic. Per-user pricing from $39/mo (1 user); extra users $29/mo. |
| ZenMaid | Cleaning only | No lawn or pest. You'd run a second tool. From $19/mo plus per-user fees. |
| Skimmer | Pool service only | Priced per pool; nothing for cleaning or lawn. |
| GorillaDesk | Pest, lawn, pool | Covers pest and lawn, but not cleaning; priced per route from $49/mo, so cost grows with each technician route. |
| Yardbook | Lawn only | Free tier exists, but lawn-only; no cleaning or pest. |
| ProTyz | Cleaning, lawn, pest, pool, windows, junk, snow, pet care, handyman and more | Unlimited service lines under one login on the Free plan. No per-user or per-route fees. Pro is $10/mo flat for SMS and a custom domain. |
To be fair: Jobber and Housecall Pro take card payments and offer phone support, which we don't. We do invoicing (free on every plan) and QuickBooks Online sync (on Pro), but customers can't pay an invoice by card through us yet. If you need to charge a card inside the software, that matters more than service-line depth. GorillaDesk's pest device barcoding suits larger pest operations, and ZenMaid goes deeper on cleaning-specific workflow. But if your pain is "two accounts, two client lists, two bills," you need a platform that treats service lines as a first-class idea.
How to add a second service line in ProTyz
Onboarding asks for your primary service line first; adding another afterward takes a few minutes.
- Open Settings and add a service line. Pick from the launched catalogue: Cleaning & Maid Services, Lawn Care & Landscaping, Pest Control, Pool Service, Window, Gutter & Pressure Washing, Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, Junk Removal, Snow Removal, Dog Walking & Pet Sitting, or Handyman Services.
- Review the pre-filled services. Each line comes with catalogue services and typical priced inputs (bedrooms for cleaning, lawn size for lawn care, quantity for pest treatments). Edit names and prices to match what you actually charge. Add extras and a frequency discount ladder if you offer weekly, bi-weekly or monthly plans.
- Set up the website for that line. Choose a template, keep your logo and colors, and write a short bio. The new line gets its own home, services, about, reviews and book pages.
- Assign qualifications. Go to Team and mark who can work the new line. Anyone not qualified won't be offered slots for it.
- Check availability. Working hours can be shared or set per line, and the cross-line conflict check is on automatically.
- Publish. The new site goes live on your subdomain. From then on, bookings from either line land in the same Bookings tab, and the same client record.
When an existing cleaning client books lawn care, ProTyz finds their record by email and adds the job to their history.
Using the roll-up to grow the second line
Once two lines are running, Top Opportunities looks across every line for clients worth a nudge: the quarterly pest client who skipped a quarter, the weekly cleaning client who hasn't booked in six weeks. It drafts a message you can edit and send by email (or SMS on Pro); it never sends anything on its own.
Because clients are shared, you can also see who books one line but not the other. Cleaning clients with a lawn and no lawn service are a marketing list you already own. Switch to "All service lines" in Analytics for the whole picture, then to a single line to see whether pest is actually paying for the truck.
FAQ
Can I run cleaning, lawn care and pest control under one ProTyz account for free? Yes. Unlimited service lines are part of the Free plan, along with unlimited bookings, clients and team members. Pro ($10/month) adds SMS reminders and a custom domain, but it isn't required for multiple lines.
Does each service line get its own website? Yes. Each line has its own booking website with its own template, services and pricing, so a pest control page reads like a pest control company. All of them share one client list, one team and one dashboard.
What stops the same team member from being booked for two jobs at once across lines? ProTyz checks staff availability across all service lines, not just within one. If a person is assigned to a cleaning job at 9 a.m., they won't be offered for a lawn job at the same time.
Can I see the whole business at once, or only one line at a time? Both. The dashboard's vertical switcher offers an "All service lines" roll-up or a single-line view, and it applies across Overview, Bookings, Clients, Opportunities and Analytics.
Does ProTyz do invoicing and QuickBooks sync? Yes to both. Invoicing is free on every plan: build an invoice from scratch, from a completed booking or from an accepted quote, send it by email, chase it with reminders, and record payments as they arrive. QuickBooks Online sync is part of Pro ($10/month). What we still don't do is take a card from the customer, so invoices are paid your usual way; Jobber and Housecall Pro handle that in-app.
