Your report follows once your data has been analysed, and sharpens as more landscapers take part.
Plain English, supportive, and private to you. Below is a taste. The full example shows everything a member sees at twelve months in: busy-season shape, this year vs last, and a report tuned to your own normal.
Your business benchmark
Based on 60 landscapers across Australia, June 2026
You are running a healthy, well-paid business.
You get paid faster than most landscapers your size, chase less overdue money, and keep tax and super on track.

Overdue book

Revenue vs last year
+8%
Your cash gap. You get paid in about 38 days but pay your suppliers in about 30, so you fund roughly an 8-day gap out of your own pocket. It is the kind of number that is easy to improve once you can see it.
Where you sit on getting paid
Your group is highlighted. You get paid in 38 days, faster than about 7 in 10 landscapers. The top quarter pay within 30.
How you compare across the board
You (green) against the typical landscaper.
Your getting-paid trend
Improving, down from 46 to 38 days over the year.
Your revenue leans on a few clients more than most peers do. Landscapers with a wider spread of clients tend to see steadier cash flow. It is the kind of thing worth a chat with your accountant or bookkeeper.
This report is general information based on your own figures and an anonymous comparison to other landscapers. It is not financial, tax, or business advice. For decisions about your business, speak to your accountant or a licensed adviser.
Your report today is just the start. These build on their own as your history grows, no extra effort needed.
See how your peak and quiet months really compare to other landscapers.
Unlocks with a full seasonSee whether you are ahead of where you were a year ago.
Unlocks at a yearWe learn your own normal range and gently flag when something shifts, not just the average.
Builds over timeIs it really free?
Yes. It is a member benefit while the pilot runs.
How long does the pilot run?
It is an open pilot, free to take part. We will always give at least 30 days' notice before anything changes.
How soon will I see my results?
Connecting takes under a minute, and you will receive your first report within seven days of connecting. Your peer comparison then grows sharper as more landscapers take part.
Does Landscaping Victoria see my numbers?
No. They never see any individual member's figures, only anonymous insights across everyone taking part.
Who is Pulse?
Pulse is the specialist analytics partner behind the benchmark. We brought it to your association as a member benefit, because we believe this insight is genuinely useful to landscapers. Pulse processes the figures and never publishes anything that identifies you.
What are you connecting to?
Your Xero accounting data, read-only. We cannot log in to your bank, move money, or change anything in your file.
What if I do not use Xero?
Right now the pilot runs on Xero only. If you use MYOB or QuickBooks Online, register your interest and we will let you know the moment it is supported. It also helps us decide which platform to add next.
Can I leave?
Anytime. Disconnect in your Xero settings and the connection ends.
