Introduction to Mowing Operations

Mowing Operations can be used to create and refine mowing areas, monitor real-time mowing activity, share near real-time mowing status updates, track mower locations, and plan seasonal mowing operations.

Well-maintained parks, open space, and roadsides improve the overall appearance of a community, reduce traffic accidents, and decrease health and safety risks. Mowing grassy areas also ensures public agencies comply with local ordinances that regulate the maintenance of public and private lands. As a result, seasonal mowing operations help to reduce public safety hazards, control weeds, and ensure recreation areas are welcoming for residents. While routine mowing operations can create a cleaner community, the sheer volume of mowing areas in a community makes it difficult to mow every park and open space. Understanding where mowing has occurred and measuring performance helps organizations understand whether staff and contractors are meeting service agreements. Furthermore, understanding seasonal performance improves mowing plans and can be used to optimize any contracted resources.

The Mowing Operations solution helps you develop seasonal mowing plans, manage a central repository of mowers, and monitor real-time mowing activity and service performance.
