Bernhard and Company introduces Soil Scout’s underground monitoring technology in North America 

Bernhard and Company has begun distributing Soil Scout’s underground wireless soil monitoring technology across the United States and Canada, marking the first time the award-winning solution will be sold and supported directly by Bernhard in North America. 

This new distribution agreement brings Soil Scout’s underground monitoring platform to the North American market. Soil Scout’s sensors provide measurements of moisture, temperature, salinity and oxygen levels beneath the playing surface, helping turf managers make more informed maintenance decisions.  

“Introducing Soil Scout to the U.S. and Canada through our established distribution network is a significant step forward for turf management in the region. The ability to understand what’s happening below the surface, continually and in real time, is a genuine game-changer for golf course superintendents and sports turf managers,” said Steven Nixon, managing director for Bernhard and Company. 

Jalmari Talola (CEO) Soil Scout, commented: “Bringing our technology to the United States with a partner as respected and deeply embedded in the market as Bernhard and Company is a dream realised. Turf professionals across the country are constantly seeking better ways to understand what is happening beneath their surfaces. With Soil Scout, they can finally see the unseen, and make more precise, data-driven decisions that improve turf quality, enhance playability, and reduce unnecessary inputs. We look forward to helping course managers, stadium teams, and sports facilities across North America unlock a deeper level of soil intelligence.” 

Bernhard and Company has collaborated with Soil Scout through major international projects, including high-profile installations delivered in partnership with SubAir Systems, most notably at all eight stadium venues for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.  The move to formalise Soil Scout’s North American distribution represents a natural progression in the companies’ long-standing relationship and responds to growing demand from golf and sports turf professionals looking to gain deeper insights into their soil profiles.
