Imagine having a farm note book that always has the most up to date information on everything that happens on the farm, well it’s here!
F-Track, is the complete on-the-go farm management app that lets multiple users record and access all their farm information live, wherever they want.
Through synchronisation with an online server all data entered is constantly updated and when out of range, data is stored locally and updated when possible. This app can be utilised for individual farmers but farms with multiple users will see the real benefit, with all managers and staff able to input data, keeping the most accurate farm book available.
This application uses certain background features for tracking your location via GPS and as such continued use can dramatically decrease battery life.
Key features are:
•The livestock manager tracks any animal enterprises, recording movements, treatments, events, purchases and sales over multiple properties if necessary. Livestock are tracked as mobs or groups which create a fully traceable history to any paddock, treatment or event that they have incurred over their life on the farm which can be exported to other users on the F-Track system.
•The Crop Manager tracks all farming events, such as spraying, sowing, tillage, spreading, harvesting etc. It records all relevant data specific to these events and provides them in a summary and detailed form to every user.
•Task management feature allows users to allocate tasks between users, generate weekly, monthly, yearly plans and track their completion.
•Paddock Mapping and tracking function enables users to know what paddock they are close to and current paddock histories relating to them.
•Silo Manager records on/off farm grain information, quality, type and location.
•Fuel Inventory feature allows tracking of on farm fuel usage and storage with the ability to allocate to vehicles, and warnings when fuel is low.
•Integrated with uSee remote monitoring systems to view tank monitors, cameras and weather stations.
•Lists current market prices for livestock and grain commodities.
•Fully integrated chemical, fertiliser and tool inventory system to record and track use.
•MSDS creator for chemical & fertiliser safety
