Easiest / best way to do chemical apps w/ Aspire

Question

Hi all, just read the knowledge base article about managing chemical applications in Aspire.

But, I am looking for input from real life users for the most flexible/least overhead work to do chemical applications for our commercial landscape maintenance company.

Through 2025 we have always just had a subcontractor do our chemical apps. We are going to in-house for 2026.

From everyone’s experience, what is the most flexible way to utilize Aspire for this? Based on the KB article, it seems like the once-per-month bulk inventory adjustment would be easiest, but I’m not 100% sure. Any feedback or input is appreciated! Thanks.

Do you buy the same chemical in multiple sizes? For example a 64oz, 32oz, and 16oz bottle of Zoxy 2sc. If you do, then I believe you should purchase and allocate everything by the oz. If you have each of those ourchase unit types in Aspire, theyre individual inventory items, which makes it a pain.

I would set up your item catalog categories to split out herbicides, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides etc into their own categories. I have a few other tips and tricks as well.

Make sure you set up your catlog with EPA name and registration number for every product from the get go! will help in the long run.

I would also use takeoffs so that you can use the opportunity service report to see how many sqft of turf for each round,
