Zaras for Irrigation

The whole book turns on in April and off in October. One record holds the list.

Startup and winterization routes, backflow testing, and mid-season repairs.

InstallsRepairsWinterization

Two weeks that carry the year.

Startup waits on the last hard freeze and winterization beats the first one, so the season’s two ends compress into a handful of route-dense weeks — with repairs filling the middle and a compliance test the city tracks on its own clock. The list is the asset, and it has to be ready before the freeze date arrives.

What carries season to season: the startup list zone maps last blowout’s pressures.

One week in April. Three jobs, one record.

A startup route, a backflow certification, a controller upgrade quoted on the same visit — the schedule for the tech, the history for the office, one thread for the account.

Last October’s blowout notes say which zone had the cracked head and which backflow is a PVB.

The bookend routes and the repair middle.

Irrigation money comes from two engines — the two compressed weeks that turn the book on and off, and the repair-and-compliance work that fills the months between them. Zaras runs both from the same record.

The bookend routes

Startup and winterization — the two compressed weeks the year hinges on.

What Zaras runs for irrigation.

The record, not the whiteboard — every system from first call to paid, with nothing re-keyed into a second system.

Startup and winterization route listsbuilt from last season, ready before the freeze date moves.

Per-system zone and controller recordszones, heads, and controller programs attached to the address.

Backflow type flags and test certificatesPVB and RP devices flagged so the wrong procedure never touches them.

Mid-season repair dispatchbroken heads and coverage calls logged against the system's own history.

Install and upgrade estimates from a service visitpriced on the same call, not a second appointment.

Commercial and HOA accountsmulti-site and property records billed on the same terms as the route book.

Invoicing, payments, QuickBooks syncthe visit closes the loop without leaving the operating record.

Start up → repair → test → blow out — every system, one record.

Straight answers.

What does it cost?

Plans and prices are public on the pricing page — no sales call to get a number.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Yes. Invoices and payments flow straight into QuickBooks — no double entry, no bookkeeper fights.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours, both directions. Customers, system records, and test certificates come in with you when you join — and everything exports, any time.

Can it run commercial work?

Yes — HOA, campus, and property accounts with per-site zone records, compliance certificates, and NET-terms billing live beside your residential route book.

What size shop is this for?

Irrigation contractors running 1–40 crews — from an owner-operator to a multi-truck shop.

What does private beta mean?

We onboard a limited number of shops at a time. Request an invite, fit is reviewed within 24 hours with a reply either way, and accepted shops get guided onboarding — pricebook and customer list loaded with you, not dumped on you.
