The M.52 fleet management platform and Scythe mobile app are tools that allow contractors to dive deeper into mower performance data and understand their mowing costs.

This web application is designed to help company administrators efficiently manage their M.52 fleet. This platform provides detailed insights into M.52 usage as well as real-time reporting capabilities. The program also monitors the health and location of each unit, track specific M.52 jobs, manage properties and Mow Zones, and handle user permissions all in one place.

Additionally, there are in-depth usage statistics like blade performance and speed. There's data on manual and autonomous usage for all M.52s in their fleet, or contractors can drill down into individual units.
Usage reports also include mowing path maps, time spent and acres mowed.

Customers can view all their mapped properties and monitor Mow Zones and No-Go Zones across their portfolio. The tool provides flexibility to rename and delete Mow and No-Go Zones, making property management easier and more precise. Admins can add operators and assign specific roles and permissions, ensuring that everyone has the right level of access and responsibility. The support center offers additional assistance and troubleshooting help for any issues that arise.

Meanwhile, the Scythe mobile app for operators is designed to be used in the field to manage mowing operations efficiently. It provides real-time visibility into mower locations and health status as well as management of properties and mow zones. It also includes zone management, multi-language support in both English and Spanish and real time monitoring. A QR code provides a quick way to contact Scythe for multi-language support via calls or texts.

Future features will include the ability for operators to adjust deck heights and mowing speeds during an autonomous mow, as well as real time updates to completion of the Mow Zone.
