Zone designer
Lay out lawn, beds and drip zones on a satellite map with sprays, rotors and drip lines dropped where they belong.
Irrigation design & quoting software for installers
Irrigation installers: design the zones, price the job, done. Backyard plans that quote themselves.
Designs sketched on the back of a quote pad, parts counted from memory and quotes that take a week to land. Then nobody can remember which controller went in or where the valve box is buried. We build zone designers, quoting tools and service systems for irrigation businesses that price the job straight from the backyard plan, then we host them and look after them.
Looking for irrigation design and quoting software that actually fits how you work?
An irrigation quote is never just a number. It's zones, flow and pressure, sprays versus rotors versus drip, trench metres, poly and PVC runs, valves, solenoid wire and a controller that suits the customer. Most installers work all that out on paper after a site measure, count fittings in their head and type the quote up at night. Generic trade apps handle the invoice but not the design, so the hard part is still done by hand.
Wollopit builds custom irrigation software around how your business actually runs. Draw the zones on a satellite map of the property and the parts list and quote build themselves from your rates. Once it's in the ground the system record stays with the customer: zone map, valve locations, controller settings and photos. Service reminders, backflow tests and maintenance contracts run themselves. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from irrigation installers
Does your irrigation business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most irrigation installers we talk to can design a brilliant system in their head. Getting it out of their head and onto a quote, a parts order and a service record is where the week disappears.
- The problemDesigns drawn by handZones and head layouts get sketched on the back of a quote pad in the customer's driveway, then redrawn at home.How we fix itA zone designer on a satellite map of the property. Draw beds and lawn areas, drop heads and drip lines and group them into zones on site.
- The problemParts lists from memoryHeads, poly, PVC, fittings and valves get counted by eye. Someone's back at the supplier mid-job for a handful of elbows.How we fix itParts lists calculated from the design, with pipe metres, fittings, valves and solenoid wire counted for you and a buffer added.
- The problemQuotes take a weekThe customer waits days for a price and signs with whoever got back to them first.How we fix itQuotes generated straight from the design using your labour rates and parts pricing. Sent the same day, often before you leave the street.
- The problemFlow and pressure guessworkToo many heads on one zone, poor coverage at the end of the line and a callback a fortnight later.How we fix itRecord flow and pressure at the site measure. The designer warns you when a zone asks for more water than the property can give.
- The problemController setups forgottenNobody remembers the controller model, the program or which station runs the front garden.How we fix itA system record per customer with the controller, programs, station names and zone map, ready for the next visit.
- The problemWhere's the valve box?Buried under mulch, moved by a landscaper and found two hours later with a probe and a lot of swearing.How we fix itValve boxes, solenoids, wiring runs and tank connections pinned on the map with photos taken on the day of install.
- The problemService work missedSystems aren't checked until a solenoid sticks, a head snaps or the lawn browns off in summer.How we fix itSeasonal check-ups booked automatically before spring and summer, with SMS reminders and online booking.
- The problemBackflow tests on a spreadsheetAnnual testable device tests slip, reports get emailed late and council chases the customer.How we fix itA backflow register with due dates, test results recorded on site and reports ready to lodge.
- The problemCrews and gear double bookedTwo jobs need the trencher on Thursday and the crew turns up to a site that isn't ready.How we fix itA job board showing crews, gear and stages, with the right parts and design on each installer's phone.
- The problemMaintenance contracts on paperBody corporate, school and commercial site checks are scribbled on run sheets and lost before invoicing.How we fix itMaintenance contracts with scheduled visits, zone-by-zone checklists, photos and invoices that raise themselves.
- The problemWater restriction questionsCustomers ring to ask what days they can water and whether their new system is allowed to run.How we fix itHelpful guides on your website by area, plus controller settings that match the local rules.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole irrigation business, on one system.
These are the systems irrigation businesses ask us about most. Each one works on its own. They get properly clever when they're joined up.
Zone designer
Draw the yard once. The design does the maths.
Pull up a satellite map of the property, trace the lawn and garden beds and drop heads and drip lines where they belong. Group them into zones and the designer checks each one against the flow and pressure you measured on site.
- Satellite map of the property
- Trace lawns, beds and hedges
- Sprays, rotors and drip lines
- Head throw and coverage shown
- Zones grouped by drag and drop
- Flow and pressure warnings per zone
- Valve and controller placement
- Tank and pump connections
- Works on a tablet on site
- Design PDF for the customer
Quoting
Same-day quotes, straight from the plan.
The design becomes the parts list and the parts list becomes the quote. Your labour rates, trench metres and supplier pricing do the work, so the customer gets a proper quote while they're still keen.
- Parts list built from the design
- Pipe metres and fittings counted
- Your labour and trenching rates
- Supplier pricing kept current
- Good, better and best options
- Controller upgrades as add-ons
- Online quote approval
- Deposits taken by card
- Accepted quotes into Xero or MYOB
- Win rate and follow-up reminders
Jobs & crews
The right crew, gear and parts on the right site.
Approved quotes drop onto the job board with the design, parts list and site notes attached. Installers see their day on their phone and tick off stages as they go, with photos of everything before it gets backfilled.
- Job board by crew and day
- Trencher and gear bookings
- Design and parts on installer phones
- Stage tick-offs: trench, lay, wire, test
- Photos before backfill
- Customer on-the-way SMS
- Variations signed on site
- Weather delays rescheduled fast
- Hours logged per job
- Final invoice from the job
System records & service
Every system remembered. Every service on time.
Once it's in the ground, the system record stays with the customer: zone map, valve locations, controller settings and install photos. Seasonal check-ups book themselves and whoever turns up knows exactly what they're looking at.
- Zone map per customer
- Valve and solenoid locations pinned
- Wiring runs and install photos
- Controller model and programs
- Station names that make sense
- Spring and summer check-up reminders
- Online service booking
- Service history per system
- Warranty dates tracked
- Upgrade suggestions for older systems
Backflow & contracts

Every testable backflow device gets a due date, a result and a report. Commercial and body corporate maintenance runs on a schedule with zone-by-zone checklists and invoices raise themselves once the visit's done.
- Testable device register
- Annual test due reminders
- Results recorded on site
- Test reports ready to lodge
- Maintenance contracts by site
- Recurring visit schedules
- Zone-by-zone checklists
- Faults quoted on the spot

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your irrigation business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We ride along on a site measure and an install, then sit in the office to see where the quoting and paperwork actually bogs down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your designs, parts and pricing, crews, system records, backflow register, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the designer and quoting first, so you get a win before the spring rush.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things irrigation installers ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can the designer handle flow and pressure properly?
Yes. You record flow and pressure at the site measure and the designer checks every zone against it, so you know before quoting if a zone needs splitting.
Can it work out a parts list from the design?
Yes. Heads, pipe metres, fittings, valves, wire and the controller are counted from the design using the brands and parts you actually stock.
Can it handle commercial and sports field systems?
Yes. Larger sites can be designed in stages with more complex controllers, more zones and maintenance contracts that schedule the ongoing visits.
Can it keep track of backflow testing?
Yes. Every testable device gets a due date, reminders go out before the anniversary and results are recorded on site with reports ready to lodge.
We already use ServiceM8 or Tradify. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management app is doing its job we build around it, adding the designer, quoting and system records on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
Can it connect to smart controllers like Hydrawise?
We can store controller details and settings for every system. Where the controller platform allows it we can link to it as well, so we'll look at what you install and tell you what's possible up front.
How much does an irrigation system like this cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like service reminders or a backflow register can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most irrigation installers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
