The demo company is a live Protiv account with real-looking crews, jobs and bonuses. No card, no connector.
Sign in and run a real Protiv account with real-looking crews, jobs, and bonuses. No card, no connector, no time limit.
The bonus only pays from what the team earned. It can't cost more than it saves.
Built for crews, routes, and multi-phase projects. Not adapted from generic HR software.
Most of your payroll leaves the yard every morning. That's where the money is made, so that's where the goal has to land — and everyone who runs that field has a number too.
Results
One year, one program, the same 35-person crew — Promier Landscapes' 2025 numbers.

“It's reducing man hours. For folks that are bonus driven, it's working. We didn't have an option until Protiv.”

“Protiv has been the most impactful thing we've ever done to drive operational performance.”

Read the Mulhall's study →The shift
Most companies pay for hours and hope for output. The teams getting ahead do it differently.
Same payroll. Different outcome. Performance pay funds itself.
Where the waste lives
Not in the work. In everything around it.
Performance pay points the day at the green part. The job stays the job.
Works with your existing systems
Protiv pulls the jobs, budgets and time out of the system you already run, and pushes work back into it — and checks every figure against the source before it reaches a screen.
Not on the list? Zapier connects the rest.
System doesn't track time? Crews clock in on Protiv.
No system at all? Enter jobs and time directly.

How it actually runs
Five steps from picking the incentive to closing the loop. Each one shown the way it actually appears in the product, with real numbers and a real workflow.
Pay on labor savings and the crew shares what they beat the budget by, job by job. Or pay on a target — the revenue or the billable time a role is accountable for hitting.
Run one, run several. Set it once and the product applies it to every job and every period from then on.
Hours, milestones, percent complete. All updated in real time from your existing system. No manual tracking. No duplicate entry.
The crew sees their pace on the phone. The manager sees the whole branch in one view.
Field manager flags exceptions. Branch manager does final approval. Account manager processes payroll. Or in a smaller shop, the same person does all three.
Damages, deductions, and disqualifiers all surface here before payout. You see them before you sign.
Approved items move into a 15-day hold. Then they flow onto the worker's monthly statement. Paid through your existing payroll provider.
No manual math. No spreadsheets. No payroll surprises on Sunday night.
Leaderboards by crew. Trend analytics by branch. Communication tools for your managers. The data that took a month to compile now updates in real time.
You see what's working. You tune what isn't. The flywheel turns.
What you can drive
Four targets are live today, two more this quarter.
The bonus shape adapts to the job — quick jobs, long jobs with phases, recurring routes.
Beat the labor budget per job, route, or phase. Fastest path to ROI.
Reward the share of the day spent on the work, not around it.
Pay on hours of work actually produced against the estimate.
Tie the payout to the revenue a crew or route produced.
Pay on labor as a share of revenue, at the level that owns it.
Tie performance pay directly to the margin on the work.
Built for every worker
Workers see their targets. Update their progress. Watch their bonus build. All from the field, in their own language.
Active jobs, milestones hit, performance against budget, and what bonus is on the table.
Workers commit to a finish time and watch what beating it is worth before the day starts.
Potential vs approved bonuses, by week and by month. Workers see their earnings build in their pocket.
Built-in safeguards
The three questions every owner asks before turning this on.
Callbacks come out of the bonus pool first. Held periods mean crews don't get paid until the work proves out. The team has a real reason to do it right the first time.
Held Bonus LedgerSafety violations disqualify the payout. You set the rules. The bonus doesn't earn if the standard isn't met.
Disqualifiers + penaltiesThe bonus is funded by the savings. If the team didn't save anything, nothing pays out. The platform can't cost more than it saves.
Savings-funded by designHow to start
Four steps, and you control every one of them. Nothing is billed until your team is live.
A live Protiv account, free, with no time limit. Approve a bonus, set a goal, run a statement. No card, no connector.
Read-only access to the system you already run. We check whether there's enough history to model your last 12 months.
Free if you qualify. Your real numbers: where the hours went, what the bonus pool would have been, what it would have cost you.
You choose the launch date. Billing starts when your team goes live — not when you sign up, and not while you're evaluating.
Our crews are hitting incredible production levels. Protiv has been the most impactful thing we've ever done to drive operational performance. What also surprised us was how fast it was to start. We saw the impact in one month.
