How This Automation Works
Controller Programming Marked Complete → Job Documentation and Billing Initiated
Technician Completes Controller Programming
Field technician finishes programming the irrigation controller and marks the task complete in the mobile app or field service system, automatically capturing location, timestamp, and job details.
System Captures Configuration Data
The automation immediately extracts controller model, serial number, programming parameters, zone settings, runtime schedules, and any photos or notes documented by the technician.
Job Records Are Updated
Job status changes to programming complete, completion timestamp is recorded, technician labor hours are finalized, and the job moves to the ready-for-billing queue automatically.
Documentation Package Is Generated
A complete programming documentation package is created including controller settings, zone configuration, testing results, photos, and technician sign-off for customer records and warranty purposes.
Stakeholders Are Notified
Office staff receive completion notifications, customer portal is updated with job status, project managers see real-time progress, and billing department is alerted that the job is ready for invoicing.
Billing Process Initiates
Invoice generation begins automatically with accurate labor hours, materials used, controller programming charges, and all supporting documentation attached, ready for review and dispatch to the customer.
How It Works
For irrigation contractors, confirming that controllers are properly programmed is a critical final step before job completion. This automation captures programming completion data instantly when technicians finish controller setup, creating timestamped records, updating job status, and triggering billing workflows. By removing manual documentation steps, your team reduces errors, accelerates payment cycles, and maintains complete audit trails for warranty and service purposes. The system ensures every controller configuration is verified and recorded without requiring technicians to manually update multiple systems or fill out paperwork.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a technician marks controller programming as complete in your field service system, mobile app, or job management tool. This trigger captures the completion timestamp, technician ID, job location, and controller configuration details automatically.
The Action
The system immediately updates the job record with completion status, generates programming documentation with configuration details, notifies the office team, updates the customer portal, and triggers invoice generation. All stakeholders receive real-time confirmation without manual data entry.
Common Use Cases in Irrigation
- Residential irrigation system installations with controller programming and zone testing
