Startup Idea: Landscaping Irrigation Mapping Software

Startup idea to develop a software application that integrates with mapping systems to give an interactive representation of sprinkler zones in landscapes. Users can visually understand and manage the irrigation system more efficiently, with clear visuals of zones controlled by different clocks, ideal for large scale landscapes like Homeowners Associations (HOAs).

I work in landscaping, primarily the irrigation side of things. This is a job I've done for a few years, and I've done it for a few different companies. In my profession, I think it could be really handy to have either map printouts, or info to be displayed on a Maps type of application, on where each sprinkler zone is that is controlled from each clock.

This could be beneficial for a few different type of people. Rich people, that want to know that when they turn on "zone 1" they can look on a map and see maybe a lit up area for the spot that is supposed to be on.

I work for a company that takes care of large HOAs now, and at some of these places, there's upwards of a dozen clocks, each with 30-50 individual sprinkler zones. That's a shit of of sprinkler zones. This one large HOA in my mind now has probably 500 zones spread out over 13 different clocks. If I had an application that would zoom in to a real life map, and let me kinda, shade in, or boundary out areas, it could really make a difference in the long run. No doubt, it would take a number of man hours to map out all the zones at first, but then down the road anytime we got a complaint, if we had all the zones marked, we could send a tech out to an almost pinpoint location.
