Orchard Program - Testimonial Image - RodMcQueen

Rod McQueen, Chief Executive Officer, Montague Fresh Pty Ltd

We have been early users of GrowData and have been utilising this program across 5 orchards for over 10 years. The value for money is excellent and it provides us with detailed and accurate time management and cost reporting functions. The spray diary is in depth and compliant with all our audit requirements, including export.

We have not been able to find another program that is anywhere near comparable to GrowData which is a comprehensive and complete Orchard Management System.

Well done Brian and team on a smart and user friendly product.

Create Work Instructions, Track and Cost all Activities back to Crop, Variety and Block

Create spray and fertiliser jobs from your office or on a mobile device in the field. Spray instruction sheets tell employees exactly what chemicals and quantities go into a tank mic as well as the blocks to be sprayed and the calibrated spray volume. You can also create your own list of activities and the program will trace labour, machinery & material costs back to block and variety with the press of a button. We can even include overhead costs so that you can know you cost of production per hectare on each block and variety as well as your nett profit per crop, variety and block.
Quality Assurance Reports and Traceability at your fingertips

Food safety compliance is a critical part of running a successful orchard and the ability to enter information and then retrieve it in report formats demanded by your customers and auditors is essential. GrowData has developed specialised reports to meet the demanding standards of international Q.A. programs such as GlobalG.A.P. GrowData will automatically adjust you chemical and fertiliser inventory so that you know exactly what you have in stock and when you need re order. You can even forward plan your folia and fertiliser programs and know month by month what your purchases will be and your monthly expenditure.

Create and email orders to your suppliers and GrowData will auto update prices when the stock is received. You can also record your machinery calibrations and maintenance schedules and service expenditures. You can also keep records on individual employees to track when training has been given or when safety or conduct codes have been breached.
Suitable for all tree crops

Our orchard program has been built specifically for all tree crops. Generic software which claims to be all things to all agricultural endeavours will always be a compromise. We have been developing our Orchard Management program for 15 years and we know what orchardists need to make record keeping easier and to enhance profitability in their business.

Orchard Software Features

Spray Diary

So simple to use! It will calculate total quantity of chemicals, the number of tanks required and will print a detailed instruction sheet.

Compliance

GrowData software was developed with compliance in mind and meets all international Quality Assurance requirements, including GLOBAL G.A.P.

Track Costs

All labour, materials and machinery costs are automatically tracked back to crop, variety and block/patch.

Chemical Management

This is a critical area of risk management for all horticultural businesses and is usually a significant cost input as well. GrowData manages it brilliantly.

Irrigation

You can track the volume of water you apply down to block/patch level as well as costs including water purchase and pumping costs.

Reports

GrowData has over 80 reports available, but we understand that one size does not fit all so we are happy to build a report to meet your particular needs.

Cloud Based

Being cloud based opens a whole new world of flexibility. Security and reliability are critical which is why we use Telstra, Australia’s largest Telco.
