Textron E-Z-GO launches Labor Portal

Textron E-Z-GO LLC, a Textron Inc. company, announced the launch of its new Labor Portal for the Pace Technology platform. The portal is a user-friendly solution to help golf-course superintendents and grounds crews efficiently manage people, equipment and other resources.

The portal unifies task assignments, work schedules, chemical applications, equipment usage and on‑course labor management in one place. It features a comprehensive suite of planning tools, allowing superintendents and crew leaders to build weekly work and task schedules quickly. Superintendents can set daily priorities and assign equipment and tools to specific workers or tasks. In turn, workers can use mobile devices to record start and end times for each task while out on the grounds. Instant updates and push notifications keep supervisors and workers informed of task status in real time, so resources can be reallocated if urgent tasks emerge.

The Pace Technology platform is offered through Textron E-Z-GO LLC, manufacturer of E-Z-GO and Cushman vehicles and part of the Textron Specialized Vehicles business alongside Ransomes Jacobsen Ltd., manufacturer of Jacobsen professional turf equipment.

The Pace Labor Portal’s “Big Board” display shows live task assignments, mowing directions, and other notes, and is viewable by superintendents and workers alike to keep everyone aligned on the duties at hand. Daily and hourly weather updates enable crews to stay prepared for changing conditions. Crews can track big events and deadlines with a displayed countdown clock. The portal also allows superintendents to log chemical and fertilizer applications to track application timing and rates for each area of the course, simplifying reporting and compliance.

The portal can be used by any facility and does not require Pace Technology hardware to be installed on equipment. However, facilities that have equipment fleets equipped with Pace Technology hardware will receive additional functionality. For example, if a facility has Pace Technology hardware installed on its equipment fleet, the portal allows for location tracking of equipment on the facility in real time, providing additional insight and data for operators.
