Tools in the Operations Center provide growers and their trusted advisors with the ability to analyze, edit, and make collaborative decisions from the same set of information to optimize logistics, plans and direct in-field jobs, increasing yield and profitability.


 
Achieving optimal yield and reducing waste are important for a manager. Mistakes on the job can be costly to yield, waste inputs and time, and ultimately affect profitability. Managing this stage of the operation can be chaotic, inefficient and cause a manager to be on the phone for hours per day trying to coordinate work, monitor progress and just make sure the job gets done right. It takes numerous meetings, phone calls and even field visits which are all prone to miscommunication and costly errors and delays.
 
Replace lists and phone calls with the jobs panel, various jobs tool in the Operations Center, and the MyJobs App on a mobile device. A job is simply a complete list of all tasks with all the necessary instructions to execute the job accurately—right product, right field, right time, and right settings. Once the job has started, Job Monitor enables the grower to follow view near real-time map layers and progress and ensure it gets executed as intended.
