• Simple-to-use filters help find equipment and fields easily. Users can save time locating operators and equipment on the course as well as monitor performance and progress. These insights into the operation will allow for data driven decisions around the day’s activities as well as identifying opportunities for adjustments and efficiency improvements.
• Quickly see which machines are active by looking at the fields and equipment list.
• Be proactive – know status of fuel level of machines. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) instantly show potential equipment issues, and flags help pinpoint items to return to later.
• Be remote – Monitor equipment movements, monitor near real-time usage information on select models, view up to date engine hours. It is even possible to remotely see the equipment operator’s display (GPS PrecisionSprayer only) using Remote Display Access, both for status updates and diagnostics.

Data helps develop watering practices that help reduce water and energy cost and improve chemical and nutrient applications, while providing consistent playing conditions on the course.

Playability variables such as height-of-cut and green speed can also be entered into the system to enable the user to correlate data from across the entire course to help guide decisions on maintenance, application, and other agronomic practices to maintain and improve course conditions and turf health.

• User-defined thresholds provide visibility to areas of concern
• Visual color-coded alerts providing information on proximity to threshold levels
• Integrations with partners allows for automated entry saving time
