How PickApp Unifies Farm Management End‑to‑End

How PickApp Unifies Farm Management End‑to‑End #

Discover how a single platform connects labor, inventory, scouting, spray logs, and analytics—unlocking compounding efficiencies across your entire operation.

From Point Solutions to Platform Synergy #

The ag‑tech toolbox has exploded over the past decade: standalone labor trackers, separate inventory databases, and one‑off pest‑scouting apps. Each solves a slice of the puzzle—but leaves growers stitching CSV files together at night. PickApp flips that model; every module shares one cloud database and one mobile interface, so data flows automatically from field to finance team without manual imports.

In 2024, Deloitte’s Global AgTech Survey found farms using 5+ separate apps were spending 18 hours per month consolidating spreadsheets. PickApp customers reported cutting that to under three hours—time they now invest in agronomy decisions, not data entry.

PickApp Core Modules—At a Glance #

Labor & Payroll #

QR / RFID scans, piece‑rate calc, H‑2A compliance, overtime alerts.

Inventory & Traceability #

Inputs, harvest boxes, pallet IDs—full chain of custody to the buyer.

Scouting & QC #

Pest scores, disease heatmaps, live defect counts at the packhouse.

Spray & Fert Plans #

MRL checks, weather windows, cost per pass and field history.

Equipment & Fuel #

Machine hours, maintenance, and cost allocation to tasks.

Analytics & API #

KPI dashboards, Power BI connector, and open REST endpoints.

Heads Up: All modules run in the same mobile app—you deploy once, train once, and update once.

Example Workflow—A Day in Citrus Harvest #

  1. Workers scan in at 06:00 under the orchard gateway.
  2. Supervisor assigns pick rows; spray history auto‑loads to ensure re‑entry interval compliance.
  3. Pickers tag each full macro bin with a QR generated in the app. Weight and GPS auto‑sync.
  4. At 14:00, scout spots thrips in Block 7 and logs photo; agronomist triggered via push alert.
  5. Load‑out clerk reconciles bins in packhouse; defect tallies link back to picker IDs.
  6. Payroll batch exports by 17:30; every bin, hour, and pesticide trace is already attached.

This closed loop eliminates re‑keying across five departments—saving countless errors.

Frequently Asked Questions #

Do I have to buy all modules at once?
No. PickApp is modular—start with Labor, then add Inventory or Scouting when ready. Data syncs automatically.
Can I integrate weather or drone maps?
Yes. REST API endpoints let you feed NDVI, rainfall, or degree‑day data directly into PickApp analytics.
How secure is my data?
ISO 27001, SOC 2, TLS 1.3 encryption, off‑site backups, and role‑based permissions keep your information safe.
Does the ROI calculator store my numbers?
No—calculations happen only in your browser session.
