Just as turf managers worked tirelessly through another challenging summer, our team at GreenKeeper has also been busy. With the arrival of meteorological fall, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the progress we’ve made together—on the course, on the research plots, and behind the screens.
Our GreenKeeper development and support team has continued to grow. We are now a team of eight full-time developers and customer support specialists, joined this summer by four talented computer science interns and two research interns. Most of us are based in Lincoln, NE, where we operate as a tight-knit group of professionals dedicated to serving the turf management community. This collaborative energy has fueled important enhancements and new features across the platform this past summer.
Recent updates include continued improvements to WhiteBoard, refinements to the Water Resource Management Tool, and the upcoming launch of a new Reporting Page that goes live this fall. Each of these improvements was designed with efficiency and usability in mind, helping superintendents and sports turf managers plan, manage, and communicate more effectively.
Beyond software, our team remains deeply engaged in applied turfgrass research. This year’s projects include new models for wetting agent performance and longevity with products from Simplot Turf & Horticulture and Aquatrols, advanced machine learning models to help classify turf stress from our GreenKeeper RECON sensors, and the creation of end-user scouting tools within GreenKeeper CIS to make machine learning more intuitive and accessible. All the results from this work are continuously being added to GreenKeeper App. These efforts reflect our commitment to turning data into actionable insights that empower turf managers in the field.
Looking ahead, we’re excited about the innovations still to come. At GreenKeeper, we are committed to continuous improvement, grounded in rigorous research and shaped by feedback from our users. We also make sure to have fun along the way—with team outings that keep us connected and energized. A genuine Thank You to our GreenKeeper App, GreenKeeper University, and GreenKeeper RECON clients for your support. We’re proud to serve you, we couldn’t do it without you, and we can’t wait to share what’s next.
