Irrigation / sprinklers software
DispatchMind runs a irrigation / sprinklers company from one place: calls and leads in, jobs on the schedule, the work on your team’s phones, then the invoice. Pick Irrigation / sprinklers when you sign up and it’s set up for your trade from the first screen. You can change any of it later.
Irrigation work comes in waves. Every spring start-up and fall winterization hits at once, and repairs come in between. DispatchMind keeps each property's controller, zones and backflow device on file, builds seasonal routes in driving order and bills every visit without chasing paper.
A typical irrigation / sprinklers job in DispatchMind
- A customer on a yearly plan comes due for spring start-up, and the visit is already on the route.
- The tech opens the job and sees the controller brand, model and zone notes from last year.
- They run each zone, find a broken head, and add the repair to the estimate from your price book.
- The customer approves on the spot, the tech fixes it and closes out with photos.
- The visit gets tagged Ready to invoice, and the office bills it or the card gets charged in the field.
What irrigation / sprinklers owners tell us slows them down
Spring and fall rush
Hundreds of start-ups or blowouts all want the same two weeks. Yearly service plans create those visits ahead of time and route mode lines them up in driving order, so you knock out a street at a time.
Forgetting what's in the ground
Nobody remembers which controller or how many zones are at each house. Equipment on file keeps the brand, model and install date at the address, so the tech walks in knowing.
Backflow tests slipping through
Testing comes due once a year and it's easy to lose track. Set it up as a yearly plan and the visit shows up when it's due, with the test photo saved on the job.

Nellie knows the trade
Nellie is the assistant built into DispatchMind. On a irrigation / sprinklers account she knows how your customers talk and what to ask:
- How many zones? What is it doing?
- Any water running that won’t shut off?
- Best time window and the address?
What she treats as urgent: Water running that won’t shut off: tell them where the shutoff is; A broken main line flooding the yard or street.
What she never does: Never quote a price the company hasn’t set in its price book; Never promise what the tech will find before the visit.
Everything else
- Jobs move through four plain steps: Submitted, In progress, Pending, Done pending approval. Your trade’s own steps are color tags you can sort by.
- Estimates and invoices from your price book.
- A tech app for your team, with what each person may see set by you.
- Reports and commissions worked out from your own jobs.
- Bring your customers and jobs over from the system you use now.
Irrigation / sprinklers software: common questions
Can I set up spring start-up and winterization as a yearly plan?
Yes. Set a yearly plan for each and the visits get created ahead of time. When the season comes, they're already on your routes.
Can I keep controller and backflow details for each property?
Yes. Equipment on file stores brand, model and dates at each address. Your tech sees it on the job before they walk up.
Can my tech add a repair to a start-up visit?
Yes. They add broken heads or valves from your price book, the customer approves on the phone, and it all goes on one invoice.
Can I keep records of backflow tests?
Yes. Use a checklist and job fields for the readings and add photos of the device to the job. It stays on the customer's history for next year.
Can I try DispatchMind for my irrigation company before paying?
