An essential component of Productive is iScan: a smart, user friendly mobile data scanning system that offers a pocket-sized and affordable alternative to fixed terminals. A multilingual smartphone app makes it a breeze for workers to record crop tasks, picking yields and observations. Scannable NFC tags ensure fast and reliable data entry. Using the iScan smartphone app, you will be able to keep track of worker activities and crop condition at all times. This means you can instantly access an overview of worker performance and work progress, as well as call up detailed information on production. The app will also help improve communication within your operation, thanks to the integrated messaging service for supervising and guiding workers. iScan will even help you improve your IPM performance, as workers can record pests and diseases in no time at all. iScan is part of our Ridder Productive labor tracking and production solution. With Productive, work processes can be optimized by gaining insight, motivating employees with performance pay and having real-time information to make better decisions and reduce feedback cycles.
