Built for irrigation work

Where irrigation days go sideways, and what Relay does about it

01
Six weeks to start up every system
Every customer wants their sprinklers on the first warm weekend, and the start-up list is a spreadsheet sorted by whoever called first.
In Relay
Sell the Sprinkler Care Plan with a spring start-up, a mid-season check and a fall blowout included. Plan visits coming due show in Needs scheduling, and the dispatch map suggests a stop order for each tech.
Memberships and maintenance plans
02
Backflow tests nobody remembers until the utility calls
The water utility wants a passing test every year, and you only find out a customer is overdue when they get a letter.
In Relay
Save the backflow preventer on the customer record. The backflow test service carries a 12-month reminder, so the device shows as due, and the test checklist records the device type, serial number and pass or fail.
Customer records and history
03
Repairs found on the start-up but never sold
The tech finds three broken heads and a sticking valve, mentions it at the door, and the customer forgets by dinner.
In Relay
Note the zones needing repair on the system check, then send valve repair or replace options in one quote the customer signs online.
Quotes signed online
04
Which zone was it again?
A customer calls about a dry spot, and nobody knows how many zones the system has or which brand of controller is in the garage.
In Relay
The system check records static water pressure, the number of zones, zones needing repair and the controller brand and model. The next tech sees it all on the customer record.
Phone checklists, photos and signatures
05
Blowout season with a frozen deadline
A hard freeze is forecast, half the blowouts are still unbooked, and the phone rings all day with people asking when you are coming.
In Relay
Customers request a blowout online and every request gets an owner and a response deadline. Turn on visit booked, reminder and on my way emails so customers know when to expect you.
Automatic customer emails

FAQ

Irrigation & sprinklers questions, answered

Can irrigation companies track backflow test due dates?

Yes. Save the backflow preventer on the customer record. The backflow test service has a 12-month reminder, so the device shows as due a year after the last test, and you can send a service reminder email.

Can sprinkler techs record water pressure and zone counts?

Yes. The sprinkler system check has fields for static water pressure in psi, the number of zones, zones needing repair, the controller brand and a pass or fail for the rain sensor.

Can a sprinkler company sell start-up and blowout as one plan?

Yes. The template includes a Sprinkler Care Plan billed yearly with a spring start-up, a mid-season check and a fall winterization blowout, plus a member discount. You set the price and terms.

Can an irrigation business record backflow test results?

Yes. The backflow test checklist records the device type, serial number, first check valve reading and pass or fail, with a required photo of the device and its tag.
