Farm data easily on hand

Used by over 5,000 farms in New Zealand, FarmIQ is a map-based farm management software that keeps everyday information in one place.

The company claims the software allows users to make better farming decisions, improve performance and gain peace of mind ahead of audit time.

Over the past year, several announcements have included a new mobile app launch, the acquisition of decision support tool FARMAX and an automated kill sheet data connection with ANZCO Foods. FarmIQ believes the imminent release of a financial data connection with Figured adds another piece to the puzzle for farmers.

The new mobile app will provide farmers with clearer visibility of their farming business, incorporating new features and a user experience tailored to everyday farming. At the same time, its usability has been simplified.

FarmIQ’s suggests its acquisition of FARMAX, in strategic partnership with AgResearch, means using both tools together will provide recording and predictive modelling functionality and lead to more opportunities.

FarmIQ connects data with numerous partners to enable farmers to bring all their information into one place. Both ANZCO Foods and Silver Fern Farms have an automated kill sheet data connection. This enables farmers to monitor carcass performance efficiently and accurately, which in turn helps validate any farm practice changes.

Farming businesses and their accountants are said to benefit from the imminent release of FarmIQ’s integration with financial software, Figured. Stock transactions managed in FarmIQ will now be automatically synced into Figured. This will allow users to model and set financial plans using the most accurate and up-todate farm information available, with benefits that extend well beyond the farm gate.
