Bloomington, Minnesota, United States: Golf course superintendents can monitor, manage, track and maintain the health of their operations all in one place with the updated IntelliDash platform from Toro.

With just a glance, superintendents can view real-time operational data, including agronomic conditions, labour, asset location and equipment health. Additionally, course superintendents can use data to simplify course operations, improve efficiency and effectively allocate resources.

“The new updates we’ve introduced to the IntelliDash platform bring together key course elements to provide course managers and superintendents greater visibility to course health and unique access to equipment fleet and irrigation data,” said Norma Frotton, Product Marketing Manager for the Toro golf irrigation business.

“As the only provider of both golf course equipment and irrigation, Toro is uniquely positioned to supply this information to courses via a single dashboard – and we’re committed to on-going enhancements that will evolve this critical platform,” added Frotton.

For agronomic conditions, IntelliDash will continue to integrate popular Toro products like Lynx Central Control, which aggregates essential irrigation information to better manage water and resources while maximising course playability and aesthetics.

New in 2024, Toro is introducing the IntelliDash Alliance. This alliance is built from key industry partnerships to maximise the IntelliDash single platform experience and include:

• taskTracker (including turfRad)
• ezLocator
• playbooks for golf
• Perry Weather
• Soil Scout
• Pogo
