Leading the way with
the latest technology in turfcare, Toro’s myTurf Pro fleet management software
program is proving to be a popular addition at UK golf clubs across the
country.
Word is spreading
about the software which automatically logs information about all machines in
operation at the club meaning greenkeepers can track data for their Toro or
non-Toro equipment, order parts, schedule services, and gain access to
information such as parts and service manuals. And so far, it has not failed to
impress.
Neil Mcloughlin,
course manager at Deeside Golf Club, says that having myTurf Pro has made a
“real difference” at the club: “We have a full fleet of Toro machines at
Deeside. Being able to log everything from scheduled maintenance to our
inventory, all in the same place, is incredibly useful. Plus with service and
parts manuals accessible as well, all the information that I might need is just
a click away.”
Designed to make a
difficult job easier, having everything at your fingertips has shown to improve
the efficiency and effectiveness of greenkeeping fleet management. Something
Andrew Airlie, mechanic at The Royal Automobile Club, wholeheartedly agrees with.
“It gives you easy
access to everything you need, which has made a huge difference,” he says. “For
example, we used to spend endless amounts of time logging the hours on machines
manually, but with myTurf Pro, it submits the data in real-time via wireless
internet connection. Now we spend less time logging data and more time focusing
on maintaining the machines to a high standard.”
As well as providing
information and logging data automatically, myTurf Pro also sends notifications
when a machine needs servicing, which has been a “huge help”, says Neil Corley,
head mechanic at The Grove Golf Club.
“We used to do all
of our servicing at the end of the year. But with myTurf Pro, it notifies you
when machines in your fleet need to be serviced,” explains Neil. “Now, our
servicing is spaced out across the year which is great. It means we can take
preventative measures, rather than trying to fix bigger problems which is often
harder to do and more expensive. We can spread out our budget throughout the
year, which helps us financially.”
He continues: “The
software is so simple to use, and it’s made it easier to stay on top of
everything. Now that we have myTurf Pro, I don’t think we can manage without
it.”
With its many
features created to help with the maintenance of greenkeeping machinery,
regardless of brand, the myTurf Pro software is becoming a fast favourite for
UK greenkeepers.
