PickTrace – Revolutionizing the industry with a complete farm management solution that genuinely solves growers’ urgent problems

Present-day farm operations are becoming more and more business oriented.

Harvest management is one of the most important resources in operating farms. Harvest management determines how the farm-life will be organized, resources allocated and activities performed. It deals with various strategies and methods to keep a farm productive, sustainable, resistant and profitable. It helps farmer engage in strategic, tactical and operational planning. It also works towards a much higher degree in organization, assessment and optimization of performed work on the fields. The farmer becomes equipped with a tool which puts all of his field work and paperwork under unified control simpler than ever.
