Getting Started with the PickApp Farming App: Complete Setup Guide

Getting Started with the PickApp Farming App: Complete Setup Guide #

Install, onboard your crew, and activate advanced modules—follow this 12‑step plan and track your progress with our interactive checklist.

1. Download & Install #

Search “PickApp Farming” in Google Play or the Apple App Store and verify the developer is PickApp Ltd.. The installer is under 60 MB and supports Android 10 + or iOS 15 +.

  • Enable camera permissions for QR/RFID scanning.
  • Allow background data so offline sync can resume later.

2. Create Your Master Account #

Use a company‑issued email so ownership stays with the farm, not an individual. Set up two‑factor authentication (SMS or authenticator app) for ISO 27001 compliance.

Pro Tip: Generate department‑specific API keys now—you’ll need them when connecting weather or drone data.

3. Activate Core Modules #

  • Labor & Payroll: Assign pay codes and overtime rules.
  • Inventory & Inputs: Upload suppliers and unit costs via CSV.
  • Scouting: Import standard pest lists and thresholds.
  • Equipment: Enter fleet IDs, fuel type, and maintenance intervals.
  • Analytics: Choose default KPIs for dashboards.

This phased activation ensures quick wins without overwhelming crews.
