Aspire, Weathermatic team up for software integration

Aspire and Weathermatic have entered into a strategic partnership combining Aspire’s business management software with Weathermatic’s software for water management.

The Aspire-Weathermatic partnership brings together an integration of mobile business software with water management tools. As an indication of commitment to the partnership, Weathermatic has made available $15 million of capital for Aspire clients to transform their portfolios of outdated irrigation controllers and upgrade them to the efficient SmartLink platform connected with Aspire Software.

“This new partnership is a tremendous game changer in the landscaping industry,” said Kevin Kehoe, a Founding Partner of Aspire Software. “The integration of Weathermatic’s SmartLink software into our Aspire platform brings one more critical business element literally into the hands of our users. Being able to inspect water zones, manage timer adjustments, and create system reports right from the Aspire login will allow us to drive far more efficiency and business impact. It is a win-win anda perfect solution for our landscaping clients.”

In addition to accessing capital for portfolio conversion, Aspire users can also gain training, marketing, and sales support from Weathermatic as they incorporate SmartLink into all contract renewals and new project bids. Weathermatic customers, in turn, gain access to the tools, services, and expertise of the Aspire business network.

“Water management is becoming a necessity for landscape maintenance contractors who want to grow significantly,” said Mike Mason, president and CEO of Weathermatic. “Since introducing our SmartLink technology we have seen over and over that those landscaping businesses who manage water with expertise are the ones seeing sustainable growth year to year. Bringing smart irrigation management into the business model reduces risk of losing contracts, it positions companies to win and manage larger RFPs, and it empowers them to unlock the full potential of irrigation labor efficiency.”
