Challenge	The Maitland family, who manage a diversified farming and food business in Australia, were using a legacy farm management software that was not user-friendly and thus not used effectively within the business. The food production and export focus of the business required accurate records to be kept so that critical information can easily be shared with relevant authorities, exporters, and final consumers. However, the existing software was not able to meet these needs, and the team was not able to enter data at all times. Read More
About Customer	The Maitland family has been farming in the Hart area, South Australia since 1866 and currently grows crops on 2,700 hectares. The family manages the farming side of the operation, together with two full-time staff, and grow a number of cereal and pulse crops as well as hay. The main crops grown are lentils, chickpeas, faba beans, hard wheat, durum, and three different varieties of grass for export hay. The exact rotation is dictated by the individual markets, moisture availability, and other agronomic considerations. In addition to their farming operation, the Maitland family also manages a food business 'Pangkarra Foods', which entails a third-party manufacturer. More recently, they've started to develop snack products as well; roasted chickpeas and faba beans and chickpea puffs in three different flavors. Read More
Solution	The Maitland family decided to adopt the Agworld Platform after meeting with agronomist Peter Wendt of Farmer Johns. The Agworld platform is a cloud-based farm management software that is user-friendly and allows everyone on the team to enter data at all times. This cloud-based data has become accessible in such a form that allows for easily exporting specific information in reports that can be sent to export businesses, food safety authorities, and anyone else that might need this information. The platform also allows the team to generate an accurate financial picture by extracting variable costs and creating a cashflow overview. Read More Log in to view content
