- Receive tailored analysis and advice based on growth algorithms
“If someone asks why I’ve made certain choices or why specific resources are needed, I can show them the data to make my reasoning very clear. For example, our data on grow lighting usage is shared with stadium management, allowing them to gain insights into our energy consumption as well.”
TurfBase Modules
Live data
The Live data module provides real-time insights into critical pitch parameters such as soil moisture, PPFD, and soil salinity. This customisable data dashboard ensures you have a clear overview of the pitch’s most essential values, collected by your TurfPod(s).
Observations
The observations tool empowers you to track, analyse, and improve pitch management based on firsthand observations. Create a logbook of what you observe on the pitch and communicate tasks effectively with your team. Revisit past periods to identify patterns and develop solutions for recurring issues.
“The Observation module is incredibly useful, now and for the future. It lets you build your own database using a grid system, where you can select specific areas of the pitch and attach photos and notes. It’s like having a personal pitch diary. We’ll use this to track how we’ve handled challenges, remember key details, and even identify patterns over time.”
Registration
Register, monitor and compare key growth and performance parameters over time. This enables you to monitor the health of the playing surface and measure its response to maintenance strategies to ensure consistent delivery of high-quality playing surfaces.
Lighting
A comprehensive solution for monitoring, managing, and optimising the grow lighting systems on your playing surface. The Lighting module ensures that every corner of your pitch receives the right amount of light and heat, improving growth conditions and maximising energy savings.
Energy monitor
Sustainability and responsible use of limited time and resources are increasingly important topics in the grounds management industry. Energy monitor provides you with detailed insights into the energy consumption and associated costs of your lighting system (LED, IR, HPS).
“My favourite feature is the Energy monitor. It provides detailed insights into how much energy we’re using each month. This makes it easy to share accurate data with stadium facilities and management, showing that we’re doing everything we can to be efficient with our grow lights. It’s highly accurate, which is a big plus!”
Advanced data
The Advanced data module integrates live data collected by your TurfPods directly onto the pitch view via GPS (or manual location if GPS does not work), providing an accurate overview of the pitch conditions and data-driven insights to optimise pitch management.
Reporting
Creating reports and communicating data and action points is part of modern-day pitch management. The Reporting module helps you export reports, communicate your findings, and speak the universal language of facts and figures, company-wide.

“We follow the Disease forecast module closely in conjunction with the UVC180. It’s a 7-day forecast so you get advice ahead of time and it’s incredibly accurate.”
Disease forecast
The Disease forecast module provides a 7-day prediction of disease pressure for more than 10 common grass diseases. The module alerts you when your pitch faces an increased risk of infection, enabling you to take timely action. Disease forecast helps you keep the playing surface healthy and grass disease-free.
Airflow Advice
Based on data collected by the TurfPod, the Airflow advice module offers a 7-day forecast to guide the optimal use of turf fans and cooling systems. It calculates when and how often fans and cooling mechanisms should be deployed to ensure proper airflow and temperature. The module provides algorithm-based recommendations to optimise recourse use and turf health.
