Below is each factor with Sunnyvale's figure and where it ranks; see the irrigation industry page, the Sunnyvale market page, pricing, features and the case study for how Full Loop CRM handles the operations side.
Only about 13 inches of precipitation a year leaves little natural water for landscapes. That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (14th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 41 inches. Across the 46 other California markets we cover the average is 14 inches, so Sunnyvale sits close to the state pattern. For an irrigation operator, that is a genuine tailwind worth building marketing and capacity around.

That is among the lowest of the markets we cover (17th percentile of 401 markets). The typical market we cover sits at 56%.
