Farm operations ERP · macadamia first, any tree crop next

Every block.
One clear view.

Orchard Compass keeps your whole orchard in one place: every block, row and tree. It plans the season, runs the water and the power, logs the field work and the harvest, and keeps the record. Built and run on a working 400 ha macadamia estate.

A day on the farm

6 moments in a day.

What the app does, in the order the farm does it, on the phone your crew already carries. No dashboard has to be read before the first coffee.

05:30

The soil has already been read.

Probes in every block reported overnight. Tonight's watering is set before the kettle boils.

06:30

Your crew taps one card.

Today's work is on the phone they already carry. Attendance: mark only who is absent.

09:00

Spray goes on record from the tractor.

Block, product, dose, weather, operator. The buyer's file writes itself.

12:00

The pumps run on sunshine.

Midday surplus from the roof runs the water. The grid waits.

15:00

The scale fills in the bag.

Bags, loads and bins weigh themselves into the record. Nobody types.

18:00

The day closes itself.

Every action kept, every decision minuted, the record ready for the morning.

What changes on the farm

7 things the orchard gets back.

More nuts, less water, cheaper power, proof for the buyer, a season that runs to plan, better kernel, and far less paperwork. Each one is measured on the estate the app was built on.

More nuts per hectare

Every gap, a replant.

The drone picture shows where a tree is missing. The app turns each gap into a replant job for the crew. More trees, more nuts, same land.

+4.5 %yield at maturity
Water where the soil asks for it

Every drop, measured.

Probes in the soil, the weather forecast and the agronomist's rules set tonight's run for every block. The plan is recalculated every morning.

6.8 %of the water right used
Power from the roof, not the grid

Pumps follow the sun.

When the panels make more than the farm uses, the pumps run. The grid waits.

Proof for your buyer

Every spray, on record.

Product, dose, weather, operator and the waiting period, per block. The file your buyer asks for is already written and travels with the batch.

QRtrace page per consignment
A season that runs to plan

Every task, planned.

The jobs that come back every year are laid out once. The app puts each one on the calendar and on the right person's phone.

295man-hours from one workstream
Better kernel, proven

Kernel you can prove.

Crackout per block and cultivar, compared with the factory pool. Stink-bug damage traced back to the scouting walk it came from.

0.73 %unsound kernel vs 1.48 % factory pool
Less paperwork

Nothing to type in the field.

The clipboards became screens. The scale fills in the bag, the camera reads the logbook page, the supervisor marks only who is absent.

How it works

Capture. Twin. Run. Prove.

The orchard is held once. Everything else reads from that record and writes back to it.

01
Capture

Every hectare, captured.

A drone flies the farm. Every hectare becomes one picture, and the blocks are drawn on it.

02
Twin

Every tree, counted.

Every block, row and tree is in the app once, with its cultivar, age and spacing. The map, the lists and the work orders all read from it.

03
Run

Then the farm gets a heartbeat.

The season plan, the water, the power, the field logs, the harvest and the money all run on that one record.

04
Prove

One clear view.

Every action is kept. Every batch can be traced to the buyer. The board sees the numbers, signed off.

The platform

12 modules. One record.

The menu follows the working day: the field first, then the estate, then the office, then the record.

In the field

Designed for gloves and sun.

Works on the phone your crew already has. Big buttons, few words, one action per screen, nothing to type. If they can send a message, they can use it. No training day needed.

Phone-first capture.

Attendance by exception, spray, scouting, fuel and invoices from the orchard.

“You are here” on the map.

GPS position on the orchard map; colleagues appear as fading dots, with an opt-out.

Scale to screen.

Bags appear as the scale weighs them. A manual bag covers the exceptions.

Alerts that read like a checklist.

Title states the fact, body states the action and the deadline.

Governance and trust

Run under a mandate. Prove it afterwards.

The rules the board sets are applied by the software, and every action is written to a record nobody can edit.

Permissions checked on the server.

Every screen, action and download checks the seat's permission before it runs. Hiding a button is never the only lock.

The mandate is enforced by the software.

Spending limits per seat, co-signing above the threshold, a verified payee before any payment, board routing for large capital items.

A tamper-evident record.

Each change is written to the audit trail in the same step as the change, chained by a SHA-256 hash. Every deploy verifies the chain first.

Privacy by design.

Sensitive particulars masked, bank accounts encrypted, location sharing with a standing notice and an opt-out, a vault with its own key.
