Estimate & Schedule Fertilization/ IPM/ Turf Care Best Practices

Custom Visit Frequency

Custom visits generated based on the number entered per month simplify and expedite the proposal process for the Sales Rep. They allow flexibility in scheduling based on seasonality.

Let SingleOps make estimation easy by measuring square/linear footage right from the map.

Turf Care: Production rates can calculate how much chemical the applicator needs to use, depending on the square footage entered.
IPM (Integrated Pest Management): Production rates calculate the perimeter of the infected area using linear footage.

Job Templates speed up estimation by pre-filling standard info for your reps. Do you offer a program with 3,5,7, etc. rounds? Preload your item groups with materials and pricing. All your reps need to do is add measurements, save and send the estimate.

Makes scheduling easy by remembering your crew's route.

Chemical & Weather Tracking Fertilization/ IPM/ Turf Care Best Practices

Using item groups allows you to track quantities of materials being used, speeds up estimating and can allow tracking of chemicals for regulation. Most Fert/IPM/Turf visits encompass 3 parts and each Item Group should have an item to reflect these:

  • Service being performed

  • The labor (time spent) of the applicator

  • The materials used on the Job

Create a Job level custom input called 'Square Feet'. This will allow you to take advantage of property measurements and production rates.
