What is a Treatment Round Program?
A reusable template for an annual treatment schedule. You define rounds (pre-emergent, fert round 1, post-emergent, etc.), each round's product list with rates, and the day-of-year window each round should fall in. You then assign the program to properties, and RootControl creates a job for every round × property on the calendar with the right products and the right timing. Build the program once; the rest of the year executes against it.
Why does the weather snapshot need to be frozen?
Regulatory records have to reflect the conditions when the chemical was applied, not the conditions at the time someone opens the record three months later to print a report. When a crew taps Complete on a treatment job, the system writes the NWS observation that was current at that moment (temperature, wind, sky conditions) to the application record once and never again. Once it's written, no one can change it later, and a dedicated test keeps that rule locked in. This is what makes the application record audit-grade.
How does the calendar weather-suitability advisory work?
Each product in your catalog can carry wind and temperature limits that define when it's safe to apply. The calendar pulls the NWS forecast for your shop's location and flags any scheduled visit whose forecast crosses those limits. The advisory is visible to the office before the crew leaves so the visit can be rescheduled rather than driven to, refused, and rebooked. Privacy note: the calendar uses your shop's location only, never per-property coordinates.
What does applicator license tracking actually do?
Every certified applicator has a record with license number, category, expiry date, and state. CEU records hang off each license with hours and date. The system runs nightly and fires renewal reminders at 90, 30, and 7-day windows before expiry — once per window, so a re-run never double-sends. Office staff manage anyone in the org; field crew and foremen see only their own row. Upload the cert PDF right onto the CEU record. Available on Starter and up.
What is the AI invoice-line generator?
After a treatment job is completed, an office user can ask the AI to draft invoice line items from the crew's job notes plus the products that were applied. The model returns a structured list (line description, quantity, unit, suggested price) that's checked before it reaches your invoice. You review and accept; nothing posts automatically. The review-and-accept flow always works, even offline.
Does this require Professional tier?
Most of the suite is Professional+ — Treatment Programs, the Supply Forecast, the Calendar Weather Suitability advisory, AI invoice lines. The chemical record itself, customer auto-disclosure with the EPA payload, and Applicator License + CEU tracking are available on Starter and up because they're table stakes for any shop doing regulated work.
