No software fit a crew’s day. So we started Ruta.
Derek Blumberg has run Quality Seasons for 34 years. The office wanted to know it’s done. The crew wanted something simple. The customer wanted clarity. Nothing did all three.
Sound familiar?
What your customers, your office and your crew are waiting on.
- You call to see if it’s done.The photos and the time come back the moment the crew taps Complete.
- Your crew fights the app.The crew app is one card per stop, and it keeps working with no signal.
- Customers ask if you came.They get a message with the photos, from the office, never a crew member’s cell.
Simple, clean, and clear.
What every part of Ruta is held to.
- Simple to use.No manual and no training day. If it needs explaining, it isn’t done.
- A clean screen.Only what that person needs for the job in front of them.
- A clear next step.Everyone knows what to do next, and what already happened.
The founder
Behind Ruta is a founder who’s still running a service business.
Derek Blumberg still owns and runs Quality Seasons, a residential lawn care, landscape maintenance and snow plowing company in Minnesota, with 900 active customers after 34 years. He is the mind behind Ruta.
He started it because no software worked the way a crew’s day actually flows: the office wants to know it’s done, the crew wants something simple, the customer wants clarity. So Ruta is simple to use, with a clean interface and a clear next step.

The builder
Behind Ruta is a builder who’s been making products for 30 years.
Benny Thompson made his first program in sixth grade, after his mom brought home a book on FORTRAN, and he has been turning ideas into products ever since.
He has shaped product strategy beside CEOs and designed products from the ground up, with three decades of engineering underneath it. His focus is the same every time: less to learn, less to click, only what the day needs.
