Technology ecosystem
Satellites see the landscape. Drones see the canopy. Handheld probes catch a surface snapshot. Autonomous mowers maintain the surface. GroundWorx measures what’s happening beneath it—continuously, at root depth.
Different perspectives. One missing layer: direct root-depth evidence.
Featured partner
Australia & New Zealand
Our distribution partner in Australia and New Zealand.
Leading supplier of turf management products and services across Australia and New Zealand, and the main distributor of GroundWorx sensors in the region.
Above. Across. Below.
Satellite imagery, drone flights and mobile maps reveal spatial patterns and where to investigate.
GroundWorx supplies location-specific moisture, temperature and salinity readings at installed sensing depths, with timestamps and mapped locations.
GAIN adds weather and location history. Your team compares evidence, prioritizes field checks and owns irrigation and maintenance decisions.
Remote sensing—including turfRad’s root-zone radiometry—can estimate or map soil moisture. Direct in-ground measurements provide a different evidence stream; neither should be represented as the other.
Our partners first. A wider ecosystem of complementary capabilities. Clear relationships, without overstating connections.
Aerial intelligence
GroundWorx Partner
Drone imagery and turf operations brought together in TurfCloud, including its digital job board for tasks and labor, application planning, reporting and irrigation mapping. GreenSight is a GroundWorx distributor and integration partner.
The GroundWorx layer
GroundWorx in-ground readings sync into TurfCloud, adding root-zone moisture and temperature to the aerial and operational picture.
Handheld spot checks
GroundWorx Partner
TOMi is a handheld turf probe from PURE Insight, the company founded by Dr. Carmen Magro. It samples soil moisture, salinity (EC) and in-canopy temperature at a shallow rootzone depth, with GPS mapping through the PURE Insight platform.
The GroundWorx layer
TOMi gives an agronomist a mapped reading at the moment of sampling. GroundWorx adds the always-on layer: buried sensors record continuously at installed root depths, showing what happens between sampling visits, overnight and during irrigation events.
Operations & labor
GroundWorx Partner
An integrated turf-operations platform for planning and scheduling labor, tracking time and performance, and reporting on work across golf courses, sports turf, parks and municipal facilities. Partner offer: purchase 18 or more GroundWorx sensors and one year of Turf Assistant's base service is included.
The GroundWorx layer
Crew schedules and job plans benefit from knowing actual root-zone conditions before the day starts; continuous GroundWorx readings supply that below-ground context.
Wide-area observation
Complementary technology
Satellite-based golf-course monitoring supplies vegetation and soil-moisture insights through reports and alerts.
The GroundWorx layer
Root-depth readings can complement satellite-derived observations at mapped locations. A direct SkimTurf connection is not announced here; discuss the data workflow with our team.
Wide-area observation
Complementary technology
Satellite imagery provides broad landscape context and repeat observations of vegetation and surface conditions.
The GroundWorx layer
Direct, location-specific root-zone readings add below-ground context to the wider view. Satellite observations and modeled estimates remain distinct from in-ground measurements.
Mobile moisture mapping
Complementary technology
Vehicle-mounted passive L-band radiometry maps root-zone soil moisture across golf-course turf with GPS-tagged scans.
The GroundWorx layer
Compare mobile moisture maps with timestamped measurements at installed root-zone locations. A direct TurfRad integration or joint validation is not claimed.
Autonomous maintenance
Complementary technology
Robotic mowing supports recurring turf maintenance with less manual mowing time.
The GroundWorx layer
Root-zone moisture trends give managers additional context for maintenance planning. GroundWorx does not command, route or operate Husqvarna mowers from this site.
Autonomous maintenance
Complementary technology
Robotic mowing technology supports autonomous turf maintenance.
The GroundWorx layer
Below-ground measurements complement the surface maintenance workflow. No direct Kress connection, manufacturer partnership or executable mower control is announced here.
Autonomous maintenance
Complementary technology
The AMP-L100 is a fully autonomous, all-electric 100-inch five-gang reel mower for golf fairways, sports turf and turf farms, with RTK GPS guidance and LiDAR object detection.
The GroundWorx layer
A big autonomous mower covers serious acreage on a planned path; root-depth moisture history helps decide where and how often that acreage needs water. No direct FireFly connection, manufacturer partnership or executable mower control is announced here.
Autonomous maintenance
Complementary technology
GPS-RTK robotic mowers (TM series) and autonomous range pickers (RP series) maintain golf courses, sports fields and large turf areas around the clock.
The GroundWorx layer
Continuous root-zone readings complement scheduled autonomous mowing with below-ground context for irrigation and maintenance planning. No direct ECHO Robotics connection, manufacturer partnership or executable mower control is announced here.
Handheld spot checks
Complementary technology
Handheld and cart-mounted turf sensors take an instantaneous reading at the surface where the probe is inserted—one moment, one spot, at the shallow depth the tines reach.
The GroundWorx layer
A probe pushed in by hand reads the top of the profile at that instant; it cannot show what the root zone did overnight, during irrigation, or between visits. GroundWorx stays buried at root depth, recording continuously—so handheld snapshots can be compared against a timestamped history at the same mapped locations.
Handheld spot checks
Complementary technology
The USGA’s moisture-management guidance encourages handheld moisture meters for daily spot checks of greens and problem areas—a surface snapshot at the moment of the check.
The GroundWorx layer
A daily spot check captures one shallow reading at one moment. GroundWorx adds the always-on layer: continuous readings at installed root depths show what happens between checks, overnight and during irrigation events.
Handheld spot checks
Complementary technology
FieldScout handheld meters measure soil moisture on demand—an instant reading at the surface where the probe is placed, only while someone is holding it.
The GroundWorx layer
Handheld meters answer “right now, right here, near the surface.” GroundWorx answers “continuously, at root depth”—installed sensing that keeps recording when nobody is holding a probe.
Operations & labor
Complementary technology
Toro's customizable golf-course management dashboard brings together information such as irrigation, equipment, labor, applications, weather and sensors.
The GroundWorx layer
An operations dashboard is only as good as the measurements behind it; installed root-zone sensors supply continuous, timestamped below-ground data. No direct Toro IntelliDash integration or partnership is announced here.
Operations & labor
Complementary technology
Golf-course maintenance software that helps turf professionals plan daily operations, assign tasks, track labor and equipment, and report on work.
The GroundWorx layer
Task assignment and labor tracking pair naturally with verified root-zone conditions; GroundWorx readings show where water is actually needed before crews are dispatched. No direct ASB taskTracker integration or partnership is announced here.
Operations & labor
Complementary technology
Schedules staff, assigns and groups daily jobs, coordinates equipment, and produces labor-hour and expense reports for golf courses, sports facilities, universities and municipal properties.
The GroundWorx layer
Daily job boards get sharper when root-zone moisture history shows which areas need attention first. No direct GreenKeeper integration or partnership is announced here.
Operations & labor
Complementary technology
John Deere's golf-course operations dashboard provides a digital workboard for assigning jobs plus tools for labor, fleet and maintenance management.
The GroundWorx layer
Fleet and labor decisions benefit from continuous below-ground measurements at mapped locations. No direct John Deere integration or partnership is announced here.
Manufacturer names identify their technologies, not endorsements. Complementary listings do not announce a partnership, direct API connection or joint validation. Satellite Earth observation is distinct from communications: GroundWorx satellite NTN fallback remains under development.
Chemicals & supplies
Quali-Pro, Simplot and other established suppliers support the products and materials behind a turf program. GroundWorx adds a separate layer: moisture, temperature and salinity trends at installed root depths, giving your agronomist environmental context alongside field observations.
