🚜 A VentrQ Product
Live GPS tracking, fuel management, job card costing, block costing, crop care, livestock health records, poultry flock performance, AI advisors, and advanced cross-module reporting — all in one place, built for real South African farm operations.
Until a vehicle breaks down, a licence lapses, a block's costs are impossible to explain, an animal dies and nobody knows the treatment history, or the poultry flock's feed conversion ratio has been drifting for two weeks without anyone noticing. FARMER replaces the guesswork with real numbers across every part of the operation.
Fully modular — switch on only the modules your operation needs. Every module below feeds data into unified reporting and the smart dashboard.
Every vehicle lives in one register — make, model, year, fuel type, current odometer, and which site or farm it belongs to. Onboard your whole fleet in minutes with the CSV bulk import tool, or add vehicles one at a time as you grow.
FARMER watches licence expiry dates and service intervals for you, so a renewal or a scheduled service never quietly slips past. Every licence renewal is logged with its cost, building a real history of what each vehicle has cost to keep legal and on the road.
See every tracked vehicle on a live map, updated every minute. Search by fleet number or registration to find a vehicle instantly, and toggle individual vehicles on or off the map to focus on what matters right now.
If a tracking device stops reporting for more than fifteen minutes, FARMER automatically flags it as disconnected instead of leaving a stale pin on the map — and still lets you jump straight to its last known location with one click. Geofencing automatically detects when vehicles dwell inside a registered field block, turning GPS data into visit records without any manual logging.
Log every fuel issue against the vehicle and odometer reading it was issued to, drawing down stock from your own fuel tanks automatically as you go. No more reconciling delivery notes against a notebook at month-end.
Set an expected consumption figure per vehicle and FARMER compares it against what's actually being used. Vehicles burning noticeably more fuel than expected are flagged straight on the dashboard — often the first sign of a mechanical issue or fuel going missing.
Open a job card against any vehicle and classify it as a service, repair, or general maintenance job, with a priority and status that moves through open → in progress → completed as the work happens.
Allocate the actual parts and consumables used directly to the job card. FARMER calculates the real cost of the job automatically from what was actually used, and deducts it from stock at the same time.
Map your sites and field blocks, then raise work orders against each block — fertilizer applications, pest control sprays, harvests, irrigation runs. Every work order is costed in real time: time spent, materials used, and which vehicle or operator did the work.
Track crops per block with an AI-generated fertilizer and care schedule tailored to your crop type and local conditions. Log pest control activity with product, dosage, and withholding period. Record harvest yields per block and compare them against input costs to know exactly which blocks are profitable.
Build a complete animal register for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, and other livestock. Each animal carries its own record: species, breed, age, sex, weight, purchase price, and current status — active, sold, or deceased.
Log every health event against individual animals or groups: vaccinations, treatments, dipping, drenching, pregnancy checks. Track your medication stock and get low-stock warnings before you run out. Record all sales and purchases to build a real financial picture of your livestock enterprise — purchase cost, sale revenue, treatment expenditure, and net P&L.
Manage broiler and layer flocks from placement to close-out. Each batch gets its own record — house, placement quantity, breed, and placement date — so performance is tracked separately per flock for accurate comparison.
Log daily production: eggs collected, feed consumed, mortalities, and water intake. FARMER automatically calculates the critical metrics: feed conversion ratio (FCR), hen-day production percentage, mortality rate, and per-flock profitability. Treatment costs and medication stock are tracked the same way as livestock, keeping your cost-per-bird accurate throughout the flock cycle.
Every livestock, poultry, and crops module comes with a built-in AI advisor — a purpose-trained expert that understands South African farming conditions and can answer practical questions in plain language, right inside the system.
Ask the Livestock Advisor about vaccination schedules, disease symptoms, parasite treatment protocols, or dosages. Ask the Poultry Advisor about FCR benchmarks, heat stress management, disease identification, or biosecurity. Ask the Crops Advisor about fertilizer programs, irrigation scheduling, pest thresholds, or withholding periods. No waiting for a call back — expert guidance when you need it, contextual to the module you're working in.
FARMER's reporting module pulls data from every part of the operation into one place, organised into four tabs: Farm, Fleet, Livestock, and Financial.
🌾 Farm Reports
Block costing with bar charts and cost-per-hectare breakdown. Harvest revenue by block with monthly trend lines. Know which blocks pay and which don't.
🚛 Fleet Reports
Fuel consumption across all vehicles, per-vehicle fuel history, total vehicle costing (fuel + parts + consumables + licence), and job card analysis by type.
🐄 Livestock Reports
Species count and treatment cost breakdown. Poultry flock performance: FCR, mortality rate, HDP%, and net P&L per batch — all in one table.
💰 Financial Summary
Cross-module expenditure breakdown: fuel, parts, fertilizer, pest control, treatments, feed — aggregated into one P&L view with revenue sources alongside.
Service due, low fuel tanks, expiring licences, vehicles consuming excess fuel, low medication stock, poultry flock mortality spikes, block work order status — surfaced automatically the moment you log in. No more finding out about a problem after it's already cost you money.
The dashboard adapts to what you've switched on. If you run livestock, you see active animal counts, recent health events, and medication stock alerts. If you run poultry, you see flock production KPIs and feed cost trends. Fleet managers see fuel and maintenance. Everything, tailored to your operation.
FARMER is fully modular — switch on Fleet, Fuel, Job Cards, Farm Ops, Livestock, Poultry, AI Advisors, and Advanced Reporting independently. Pricing scales with your operation.
