What is Christmas light company CRM software?

It's a single system that replaces the spreadsheets, texts and notebooks a light installation business runs on. Pinecone holds your customer database, quotes and invoices, lighting mockups, install schedule and routes, crew timesheets, inventory and expenses — so the whole season lives in one place instead of five.

Is Pinecone built specifically for Christmas light installers?

Yes. It isn't a generic field-service tool with holiday wording. Bulb counts, bin and wreath storage, route-based install packets, takedown scheduling, and a mockup tool that paints C9s onto a photo of the actual house are all built for this trade specifically.

How much does Pinecone cost?

Pinecone is $999 per year for your whole company — unlimited customers, jobs and crew. This season, the Preseason Special is $699 per year, which is $300 off.

Can I import my existing customer list?

Yes. Import from a spreadsheet or CSV and Pinecone will place your customers on the map automatically. Most shops are up and running the same day.

Does it work on a phone in the field?

Yes. Crews clock in, update jobs, add photos and get directions from their phones. Install packets print for the truck when you'd rather have paper.

Can customers request a quote from my website?

Yes. You get a branded quote link — your logo and colors, no Pinecone branding — that turns website visitors into leads and drafts the quote for you.

Christmas Light Company CRM & Management Software

Christmas light customer database

Every property, every season, one record.

The CRM at the heart of your light company. Each customer keeps their address, contacts, gate codes, bulb counts, photos and every job they've ever had — so your second season with them is easier than the first, and a new crew member can work a house they've never seen.

Unlimited customers, properties and contacts
Multi-site clients — a manager with six strip malls fits
Every past season on the record, not in your head
Import your existing list from a spreadsheet

House lighting mockup tool

Paint the lights on before you sell the job.

Draw C9 runs straight onto a photo of the customer's actual house. Pick colors and patterns — alternating, tipped, or counts — set bulb spacing, and the tool measures the run for you. Customers buy what they can see, and you quote from a real number instead of a guess.

Rooflines, tree wraps, bush wraps & stake lights
Straight, curved and multi-corner runs
Pure white, warm white, red, green or custom
Automatic total length in feet and bulb count
Share a link, or attach it to the quote

Automatic house photos

The house appears. You didn't drive there.

Type the address and Pinecone pulls photos of the property straight from Google's street imagery — several angles, so you can pick the one that shows the roofline best. No site visit, no asking the customer to text you a picture, no waiting.

Multiple angles of the same house
Zoom and crop to the elevation you're lighting
Photos are saved to the customer automatically
Upload your own shots any time

Data-assisted quote builder with templates

Build a quote in a minute, not an evening.

Save your packages once as templates — roofline, peaks, wreaths, takedown — with prices and labor hours baked in. Apply one to a job and the quote assembles itself, priced off the footage your mockup just measured. Send it branded as your company, and let the customer accept online.

Reusable templates with price and labor built in
Priced from the real measured footage
Your logo and colors, not ours
Email the quote or invoice in one click
Customer accepts online; converts to an invoice

Email quotes & invoices in one click

Send it as you, from wherever you are.

Build a quote or invoice and email it in a single tap — branded as your company, with replies going to your inbox. The customer gets a clean link they open on their phone, look it over, and accept or pay right there. No PDFs to attach, no copy-pasting, no 'did you get my email?'

One tap sends it — no attachments to wrangle
From your company name; replies come to you
Customer views and accepts on their phone
You can see when it's been opened

Text customers in one tap

The quote, in their texts, from your number.

Tap Text on any customer or invoice and your phone's messaging app opens with their number and a friendly message already filled in — including a live link to the quote or invoice. Prefer Google Voice? Switch to it in Settings and Pinecone hands the message off there instead. No new number, no per-text fees, no A2P paperwork — it goes out from the number your customers already know.

Customer's number and message prefilled — you just hit send
Includes a live link to the quote or invoice
Choose your phone's texting app or Google Voice
Sends from your own number — no new line, no per-text fees

Share payment links on invoices

Get paid the day you send the invoice.

Connect your own Stripe account to take card & ACH right on the invoice, and add the ways you already take money — PayPal, Venmo, Cash App — as one-tap buttons with the amount filled in. However they pay, the money goes straight to your account. Pinecone never holds a cent.

Money goes directly to you; Pinecone never holds it

Customer location maps

See the whole season on one map.

Every customer becomes a pin. Filter by route, status or day and the map redraws — so you can spot the three jobs across town before you commit a crew to them, and build routes that respect the drive.

Every customer and job, mapped

Reassign a job to another route in a tap
One-tap directions from any stop

Built for multi-market companies

Dallas, Houston, San Antonio — one workspace.

Run several metros from a single Pinecone login. Each market keeps its own customers, crews, routes and schedule, while you see the whole operation in one place. Growing into a new city doesn't mean a new system — or a new spreadsheet. If you run more than one market, reach out and we'll set your account up right.

Separate customers, crews and routes per market
One roll-up view across every city you run
Add a new metro without starting over
White-glove setup for multi-market operators

Printable install packets

Hand the crew the day, on paper.

One route-ready sheet per crew: every stop in order, the bulb and bin counts, storage location, access notes, whether payment needs collecting, and the customer's favorited mockup so the crew can see what they're building. Print it or export a PDF.

Install schedule

The season, day by day.

Drop jobs onto days, group them into routes, and see the week the way your crews live it. A live weather forecast sits on every day you're planning, so you move the roof job off the ice before it costs you. Removals get scheduled the same way, so January doesn't sneak up on you.

Drag jobs onto days and into routes
Live weather forecast on every planning day
Installs and removals on one calendar
See what's still unscheduled at a glance
Estimated hours per day, per crew

Live local weather while you plan

The forecast, right on the day you're scheduling.

Pinecone pulls the local forecast for your service area and puts it on every day of the schedule — high and low, chance of precipitation, and a flag when a day turns freezing or wet. So you move the roof job off the ice before you've promised a crew to it, instead of finding out at 6am. No weather app, no guessing.

High, low and precipitation on every planning day
Freezing, snow and heavy-rain days flagged for you
Pulled automatically for your own service area
Reschedule around the bad days before they cost you

Shifts manager

Who's working which day, settled.

Tap a day, add a crew member, done. Optional end times when you need them. Everyone can see the board, so nobody texts you at 6am asking whether they're on.

Tap any empty day to add someone

Filter to one employee's schedule

Timesheets & team-member tracking

Real hours, from the field.

Crew clock in and out from their phone at the job. Hours land in timesheets automatically, tied to the person and the day, so what you pay out matches what actually happened — no notebook math on a Sunday night.

Custom inventory labels

Every tub knows whose lights are inside.

Print a label with the customer's name, their five-digit ID, the address, and 'item 1 of 3' — so the right bins come off the right shelf in November, and go back on it in January. Prints from your phone to a battery label printer, no laptop in the barn.

Customer name, ID, address and item count
Tubs, wreaths, whatever you store
Prints wirelessly from a phone
Track storage location per job

Expense tracking

Know what the season actually cost.

Log supplies, fuel and labor as you go, categorized. Set against the revenue you've booked, so profit is a number you can look at in November instead of a surprise you discover in February.

Categorized spend with vendors
