With FarmTracking, you will automatically receive crop-specific reminders targeted specifically at the crops you have on your farm, as well as at the time they are relevant. Thus, you avoid drowning in irrelevant information. FarmTracking also includes the ability to create and view GPS hotspots on your fields. With the hotspot feature you can therefore create a point or area where weeds, pests, disease, a well's location, sinks and rocks on the field. If you have purchased a subscription to FarmTracking Basic, you can now also register cultivation tasks in FarmTracking FarmTracking is an offline application, so you can also use it when you are without mobile coverage on the field. When you connect to the network again, the FarmTracking application will ensure that the data is synchronized.
Safety Observer 3.0
Read full descriptionHide full description
Safety Observer is a tool for measuring and improving workplace safety behaviour and safety conditions. It can be used in a wide variety of sectors and settings. It shows the workplaces' current level of safety expressed as the percentage of correct safety observations, which can be supported by notes, photos and smileys. Immediate results are provided on-screen and sent as a PDF report to your e-mail address. Results can directly be compared with results from previous measurements from the same or other workplaces. In the web-based 'administrator' module for the app you can customize your company's own observation lists and administer results (PDF reports and Excel statistics). The lists can be accessed by your company's 'users' for performing safety observations at various work sites.
