[ Irrigation & Sprinkler ]
IRRIGATION IS SEASONAL. YOUR SCHEDULE SHOULD NOT DISAPPEAR BETWEEN SEASONS.
Spring startups. Summer repairs. Fall blowouts. Your irrigation business runs in compressed bursts where every day is 15 jobs and every missed appointment is a lost customer. OPS keeps your routes tight, your crews moving, and your customer list intact from blowout season to startup season.

[ THE PROBLEM ]
SEASONAL CHAOS THAT CRUSHES YOUR CREW.
- • Spring startup and fall blowout seasons compress 80% of your revenue into a few brutal weeks. Every customer wants their system done this week. Your crew is running 12-15 stops per day, and one delay cascades into a week of rescheduling.
- • Between seasons, your customer list goes cold. You lose 15-25% of customers annually simply because nobody followed up. They called someone else because you did not call them first.
- • Seasonal hiring means new crew members every spring who need to learn routes, customer preferences, and system layouts from scratch. Without a system that stores this information, your senior tech becomes the bottleneck.
- • Weather cancellations are not exceptions — they are the norm. A rainy week in April means every startup on that schedule needs to shift, and the cascade affects every week after it.
For irrigation company owners and managers
ROUTES THAT WASTE HOURS ON THE ROAD.
- • Irrigation service is route-based — your crew hits 10-15 properties per day in sequence. A poorly planned route wastes hours of drive time between stops. Hours you are paying for with zero billable work.
- • Most irrigation companies plan routes by memory or by sorting addresses in a spreadsheet. When the senior tech who "knows the routes" is out sick, the whole day falls apart.
- • Mid-day changes — an emergency repair call, a customer not home, a gate code that does not work — mean your crew needs to reroute on the fly. Without a digital schedule they can reference, they call the office. The office calls them back. The crew sits idle.
- • Route efficiency is the difference between 12 stops per day and 15 stops per day. Over a 6-week blowout season, that is hundreds of additional jobs — or hundreds of lost ones.
For irrigation crew leaders and dispatchers
CUSTOMER HISTORY TRAPPED IN ONE PERSON'S HEAD.
- • Every irrigation system is different — zone counts, head types, valve locations, backflow device specs, controller model. Your senior tech knows this by heart. Your new hire does not. Without a record, every job starts from scratch.
- • When a customer calls about a problem, your office needs to know what system they have, when you last serviced it, and what was done. If that information is in a notebook in someone's truck, you have no answer.
- • Photos from last year's repair — the valve location behind the shed, the buried wire splice, the controller wiring — save hours of diagnostic time this year. But they are on a former employee's phone.
- • Irrigation systems have 10-20 year lifespans with annual service. A customer relationship worth $200/year for 15 years is worth $3,000 in lifetime value. Losing that customer because nobody followed up is expensive.

[ THE SOLUTION ]
HOW OPS HANDLES IT
[ 01 ]
SEASONAL SCHEDULES THAT FILL THEMSELVES.
Import your customer list. Set the season dates. OPS builds the schedule. Spring startups slot in by zone. Fall blowouts route by geography. Your crew sees their full day — every stop, every address, every system note — on their phone before they leave the shop. When weather cancels a day, drag the block and the rest of the season adjusts.
[ 02 ]
TIGHTER ROUTES. MORE STOPS. LESS WINDSHIELD TIME.
OPS shows your crew their daily route with every stop in sequence. Mid-day changes update instantly — a canceled appointment, an added emergency repair, a customer not home. Your crew sees the new route on their phone without calling the office. Spend time on properties, not between them.
[ 03 ]
CUSTOMER HISTORY THAT OUTLASTS YOUR CREW.
Every job creates a record — zone count, head types, controller model, valve locations, photos of tricky spots. When your tech visits next spring, they see everything from last year on their phone. New hires work with full system history from day one. No more "ask Dave, he knows that property." Dave's knowledge is in the system now.
[ 04 ]
ONE APP FROM STARTUP TO BLOWOUT.
Startups, repairs, installs, blowouts — every job type in one schedule, one app, one crew view. Your office books the work. Your crew sees it instantly. Photos, notes, and time stamps flow back to the office without a phone call. No paper route sheets. No whiteboard in the shop. No "I thought you said 42 Oak Street, not 42 Oak Lane."
