When it comes to project management software, most tools are designed with software teams in mind, with additional spreadsheet capabilities added as an afterthought to cater to various industries. Unfortunately, this approach often leads to overwhelming platforms that feel like an overload of features. At Fairview, we’ve taken a different path. Our focus is on the essential elements of decision making in the project process, enabling faster and better-informed decisions without unnecessary noise. In the agriculture industry, where project planning can be particularly challenging, Fairview excels.

Addressing Agricultural Challenges

With a background of 20 years in agriculture, I understand the unique difficulties faced in this industry. Prioritizing and balancing tasks, planning ahead, and maximizing the productivity of people and resources can be daunting. The unpredictable nature of working with plants and animals, along with weather patterns and seasonality, further complicate daily operations. Fairview acknowledges these challenges and offers specific solutions tailored to the agricultural sector.

Seamless Trial Management

Trials and experimentation are integral to enhancing operations and improving ROI in agriculture. However, tracking and collecting data from these trials can be a struggle. Fairview simplifies this process by allowing you to set up each trial as a work item, assigning responsibilities to workers. Milestones are generated to capture data points and observations at pivotal times during the season. Whether your trial involves extensive data points or simple field observations, Fairview provides a single source of information. Attach spreadsheets to record data and share the results with all employees involved in the trial.

Efficient ROI Tracking

Tracking expenses versus budgets and monitoring inputs’ application are crucial for understanding your ROI. Fairview’s budgeting features facilitate tracking expenses, ensuring that you can monitor your budget throughout the season. By rolling up expenses, you gain valuable insights into the actual costs incurred. This information allows you to determine cost per acre, bushel, or any relevant harvest metrics for your crops, enabling a comprehensive assessment of your profitability. Furthermore, unexpected costs can be documented, providing valuable planning insights for future seasons. Fairview also includes labor costs in budgeting, offering a deeper understanding of how production costs impact revenue.

Optimizing Off-Season Activities

Fairview excels in planning and managing off-season activities. Easily create plans that can be used and adjusted season after season. Track equipment repair and maintenance projects, ensuring that each task is accounted for. By providing status updates at the end of each day, Fairview keeps everyone informed about progress and pending tasks. If delays or problems arise, you can flag them within the platform, allowing you to prioritize work until the issues are resolved.

Simplify Communication and Enhance Farm Success

We all know that failing to plan is planning to fail. With Fairview, you can simplify communication and foster teamwork on your farm. By focusing on the key components of management and decision making, Fairview streamlines processes and empowers you to leverage information and people for success. Farming is complex work, but with Fairview as your tool, you can confidently face the challenges of each season as a cohesive team.

For agriculture professionals seeking efficient project management solutions, Fairview is the ideal choice. By prioritizing essential elements, streamlining trials, enabling ROI tracking, and optimizing off-season activities, Fairview empowers you to make informed decisions, enhance productivity, and achieve farm success.
