What is integrated farm management?
Keeping track of every facet of your farm can be stressful and challenging, especially if you are running off several spreadsheets. Centralising all of your data into one place makes farm management vastly more effective. Integrated farm management systems bring together documents that are usually separate, links with other programs you use, and lowers the amount of software you need. Farming management software is essentially many solutions, integrated into one system, to make farm management easier. You can set a job, which vehicle needs to be used, and track where that vehicle is, all from one integrated farm management system.
What benefits are there to using an Integrated Farm Management system?
Everything in one place
Do you have separate spreadsheets for each part of the business, such as accounts, inventory, and work schedules? You can make life easier by having all of these linked, and in one place. Enabling you to know where everything is, on demand.
Each solution talks to each other
Once all the systems you need are integrated into the farm management system, they can then see, and interact with each other. You can allocate resources, and people, to a project and it will automatically reserve them. Stopping any issues due to double booking!
Overview each job at a glance
With more usable data, that can interact with each other, you can look at the plant growers’ schedules, if you need more seeds, how much pesticide a job has used, and much more in one place. Saving hours of time scouring through documents.
Streamlined reporting
For things like traceability, you need to be able to provide a document as to where your crops came from, and what treatment they have had. The reporting is done for you, as it collates all the data, and can be printed off or saved as a single document.
