Data Management 2014
| watch youtube video of how it works! |
As spring approaches, now is a great time to start talking to growers about Data Management for 2014. Remember, it all starts with planting. Calibration, marking application events, and recording the exact varieties are key factors in making your data cohesive and valuable. To see how easy the data management program really is, watch this quick (2:40) youtube video: Data Management OverviewData Management users are able to combine planting data, yield data, and soil sample data to create fertility recommendations and/or planting prescriptions. Furthermore, this will allow you generate detailed reports such as Yield by Variety by Soil Type by N applied across a single field or across an entire farm.
2014 Data Management Reports - Planter Maps (speed & population)
- Harvest Maps (yield & moisture)
- Soil type and Management Zone Analysis
- Fertility and Nitrogen
- Hybrid analysis
- Fungicide and Pesticide Analysis
- Starter and other Fertilizer Analysis
- Grower and Group Benchmarking

Accounting Information
Have you ever booked a work order in SOILMAP, but then are unable to find it when you search your accounting software? This is because SOILMAP sends those billing details over every 15 to 30 minutes depending on company setup. There is a report in SOILMAP that you can check to confirm it has been sent to accounting. Settings - Reports - Company Control Orders
If "Written to File" is checked, then it should be in your accounting program and available to bill.

If you are adding any automated blending equipment at any of your locations for spring, and currently are not using the automated blending interface, please let us know immediately and we will help setup that process. Also the details for billing can be passed back into your accounting software. If this is something that you currently are not using, IT'S A TIME SAVER FOR BILLING! *Not limited to only Kahler

Now is a great time to start looking at fleet management if you are wanting to be live for spring.
