Ray-Carroll Coop has been running SOILMAP Fleet Management in beta mode this last month. This has helped immensely to get the product ready for Spring 2013.

We are ready for installations, now may be a good time to take a look at the product and see if it fits your needs and be optimized for fall 2013.

The applicators that have used this were quoted as saying "Surprised how seamless the process was" "The turn around time on as-applied data is great, the side-by-side comparison of target rate and rate applied is nice."

If this is something you are interested in contact MAPS to schedule a local demo.
