The math doesn't lie.
Irrigation Technicians deal with unique challenges that generic software was not built for: Seasonal demand: spring installs, summer repairs, fall winterization. Parts inventory management from the truck. Warranty callbacks on new installs. Estimating underground issues before digging. Jobber charges $69/month on top of these daily realities. The median irrigation tech earns $42,000/year — $828/year in software subscriptions is a significant percentage of that income, paid every year, forever.
Nexa is $279 once. Invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, accounting — all connected, built for irrigation technicians. You own it like you own your Trencher or pipe puller.
Spring season: 3 jobs today. A system startup ($85, 30 min). A broken mainline repair ($200, 2 hours). A new zone addition estimate (free, 45 min). Parts for the mainline repair: $35 in PVC and fittings. You have 4 winterization callbacks from clients who weren't happy with service in November. Your schedule is booked 2 weeks out and the phone won't stop ringing. Job tracking is a whiteboard in the garage.
