FieldFlow facts, on one pageSounds familiar?
-
Every April the phone rings at once.
A hundred startups in three weeks, and you are scheduling them from a list on the dashboard.
-
Zone 4 is the one with the broken head.
You knew that last June. Nobody wrote it down, so the new tech found it again.
-
A new system is a big job with a small deposit.
You bought the pipe, the valves and the controller before the first payment cleared.
Built for the spring rush and the fall blowout.
Two visits a year for every customer, repairs in the summer between them, and a few new systems with real material costs. The schedule and the deposit are shaped around that.
Schedule & dispatch
-
Startup and blowout, set once
Create the spring startup and the fall blowout as yearly repeating jobs for each customer. Next year's April is already on the calendar when this year's is over.
-
The rush, by day
Fifteen startups in a day on the day view, each with its address and the customer notes. Drag a few to tomorrow when the rain comes and the crew's list follows.
-
Pause and resume a series
A customer sells the house or goes with a competitor? Pause the series, or shift the whole series when the weather turns, instead of editing every visit.
Customer database
-
The zones, on the property
Eight zones, the controller in the garage, the head that always sticks in zone 4. Put it in the customer notes once and every tech who visits knows it.
-
Photos of the valve box
Shoot the manifold and the backflow preventer on the first visit. Next April the tech knows what is under the lid before he opens it.
-
HOA and commercial accounts
Keep a property manager as one customer with the common areas in the notes. Import your existing list from a spreadsheet, and keep going.

A day with FieldFlow as a irrigation tech
A day in the April rush: startups, a broken head and a new-system estimate, all invoiced before dinner.
-
Twelve startups on the list.
Every one of them came up on its own because you set the spring startup to repeat every twelve months. The addresses and customer notes are on your phone, and your second tech has his own six.
-
Zone 4, again.
The notes say the head sticks and the controller is in the garage. Charge the system, find the broken rotor, swap it and note the zone.
-
Invoice from the box.
Tap the saved startup item and the rotor head and send the invoice with its pay link. She pays from the kitchen before you have closed the lid.
-
A new system for a back lawn.
Walk the lot, photograph it and build the estimate from the saved items. He signs on your phone, and signing creates the deposit invoice he can pay on the signed page.
-
Rain at 2.
Drag the last four startups to tomorrow. The crew's lists change when they look, and you didn't phone anyone.
-
Supply house.
Heads, valves and a roll of pipe. Photograph the receipt at the counter, filed under Materials & Supplies.
-
The rush, on one screen.
Eleven startups complete, the hours logged on each, the dashboard showing what came in today and what is still open. Tomorrow's list is on both phones.
Questions irrigation owners ask.

Where do I keep the zone notes?
Can I take a deposit on a new system?
