How This Automation Works
Scheduled date arrives for lighting inspection → Technician receives inspection checklist and client is notified
Configure Inspection Schedule
Set up maintenance intervals for each client based on contract terms, property requirements, system age, and seasonal factors. Define custom schedules for different property types, establish inspection windows, and align timing with client preferences or high-value periods like holidays.
Automatic Reminder Generation
When the scheduled date approaches, the system automatically generates inspection assignments, creates detailed checklists based on property-specific requirements, assigns tasks to appropriate technicians based on location and expertise, and queues client notifications.
Technician Notification and Assignment
Technicians receive inspection assignments with complete property details, access to previous inspection history, customized checklists, route optimization for efficient scheduling, and mobile-ready documentation tools for capturing findings and photos during the visit.
Client Communication
Clients automatically receive professional notifications about upcoming inspections, appointment confirmations with technician details, service reminders with visit windows, and preparation instructions if needed. Communication timing and channels adapt to client preferences.
Inspection Documentation
During the inspection, technicians use digital checklists to document fixture condition, bulb status, electrical connections, timer settings, and overall system performance. Photos, notes, and measurements are captured in standardized formats for consistent reporting and trend analysis.
Results Processing and Follow-up
Completed inspections trigger automatic report generation, client notification with findings summary, identification of needed repairs or upgrades, creation of follow-up work orders when issues are found, and scheduling of next inspection based on maintenance intervals.
Performance Tracking and Analytics
The system tracks completion rates, identifies recurring issues across properties, measures time spent per inspection, calculates maintenance contract profitability, monitors client satisfaction, and provides insights for improving service delivery and pricing strategies.
How It Works
This automated maintenance reminder system helps irrigation and landscape professionals proactively manage lighting inspections across all client properties. By scheduling regular checks based on customizable intervals, seasonal requirements, or client preferences, your team stays ahead of potential issues like burned-out bulbs, misaligned fixtures, corroded connections, and timer malfunctions. The system automatically sends inspection reminders to technicians, tracks completion status, logs findings, and triggers follow-up actions when repairs are needed. Integration with your customer management system ensures clients receive timely notifications about upcoming maintenance visits, completed work, and recommended upgrades. This proactive approach reduces emergency service calls, extends equipment lifespan, improves client retention, and creates additional revenue opportunities through systematic maintenance programs.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a predetermined inspection date is reached based on maintenance schedules, seasonal calendars, client contracts, or custom intervals. Triggers can be set for monthly, quarterly, or seasonal checks, or aligned with specific events like daylight saving time changes or pre-holiday preparations.
The Action
When triggered, the system automatically assigns the lighting inspection to the appropriate technician with a detailed checklist, sends route-optimized schedules, updates the job board, notifies the client about the upcoming visit, logs the appointment in your management system, and prepares reporting templates for documenting findings and recommendations.
