The overall aim of rugby pitch maintenance is to provide players with a safe playing surface and meet certain quality standards. The higher the level of rugby, the more important the presentation of the pitch becomes. Check how GrasPro software can help you.
You spend evenings collating information about maintenance, usage and work carried out.
You want to optimise the work of your team and the use of machines, but you do not have data to support this.
When something goes wrong, finding out what is causing the problem is difficult, with nothing to reference.
You have no objective evidence that you need more staff or better equipment.
Easily view up-to-date, organised and visually presented data, available from your smartphone or laptop.
Analysing and adjusting the moisture, firmness and traction of the rugby surface can positively impact player safety and performance.
Improve pitch quality by monitoring it, its response to maintenance, test results and condition over time.
Spot patterns and trends within the data for pre-emptive maintenance and planning.
Monitor resources, including machines and materials such as water, fertiliser, and seed utilisation
We have no affiliations with other companies, so data, equipment, materials and decisions are always your own.
Keep track of daily turf maintenance operations, manage your team, machinery, pitch usage and fine tune your pitch care schedule to lower costs.
Easily access and review pitch condition reports. Use visually presented data, test results and detailed weather forecasts, to support your decisions.
Develop a sustainability strategy with relevant stakeholders.
Increase data collection and testing to make smarter decisions.
Source materials from local suppliers and donate turf from renovation to your community.
Save money and resources by conducting regular pitch audits to identify problems as they arise. Recycle materials.
Minimise water consumption by using recycled water (rainwater storage) in wash down facilities. Keep track of the weather.
Increased grass cover acts as a "cover crop", storing carbon in the soil and preventing soil erosion.

I think it’s wonderful, it’s one of my main tools as a head groundsman, and I use it to manage a different site as well, I find it one of the most beneficial things I have.
It takes away data recording in the evening because it doesn’t take long to put it into the GrasPro system, so it saves me time and energy that I can concentrate on other parts of my job.
