Why we built it

Because compliance shouldn't cost you an hour.

Under Part 4 of the Pesticides Regulation 2017, every commercial herbicide application in Queensland must be recorded within 48 hours of the work being done. That record must be kept for three years and produced on request by an EPA inspector. Fail to comply and the maximum corporate fine is $44,000.

Most contractors already know this. Most contractors also know the paper NCR book sitting in the ute — getting rained on, losing pages, and taking twenty minutes to fill in at the end of a long day when you'd rather be home.

We built Applic because the law is reasonable and the paperwork shouldn't be. GPS, weather, chemical details, licence number — captured in 30 seconds, archived automatically, ready for inspection the moment it's needed. No chasing records. No scrambling before an audit. Just the job done right.

Output

A PDF the regulator already knows.

Every save produces the exact format the EPA asks for on audit. Signed timestamp, GPS-verified location, weather captured at the moment of spray. Ready before the inspector asks.

Took me 30 years to replace my NCR book. Wish I'd done it sooner.

SEQ · Beta user

We work across multiple council contracts — having compliant spray records ready for audit without the paperwork is a big deal for us.

S
SEQ Contractor · QLD

Council work means our records get scrutinised. Applic keeps everything in order and the PDF is exactly what they ask for.

R
Russell Island Tractor Slashing & Mowing · QLD

My customers love it. Pulled up every record in about 10 seconds.

M
M. Carrick · Logan City contractor

The weather logging alone was worth it. I was guessing wind speed on paper — now it's just there.

T
T. Walsh · Ipswich

My apprentice was the one who sold me on it. I'll admit he was right.

G
G. Paterson · Gold Coast

Three guys on my crew, all logging from their own phones. I can see every record from the office.

S
S. Nguyen · Brisbane Commercial Spraying

Landowner gets a PDF before I've even packed the ute. That alone stopped two complaints.

B
B. Fletcher · Gold Coast

Didn't think I needed it until I couldn't find a record from eight months ago. Never again.
