Agtrix Farming 3.0 is a versatile platform for our staff and growers to record a host of useful spatial data on our farms and paddocks. Being able to record farming events such as nutrient and chemical applications in real-time or as planned events help our growers satisfy their legislative requirements while making better farm management decisions. In addition to the desktop program, the mobile phone app Agtrix Farming 3.0 has allowed growers to record nutrient and chemical applications from the palm of their hands. Thanks to Agtrix, growers have moved away from traditional pen and paper records and adopted a more modern approach to record keeping that is both simple and secure.

“There is no doubt that FREDD has brought discipline to our inbound supply chain at the Nchalo operations site in Malawi where the project was first tested. The implementation of the system has improved the ability of the teams within cane supply (agriculture, transport and factory) to see the process from a holistic point of view which in return, has also led to easier identification of opportunities and potential challenges. The result has been a meaningful reduction in the number of cane trucks required to deliver cane from the fields to the factory, a significant reduction in the number of factory “no cane” stops, and has improved our cost base”.

“FREDD provides factual information which enables impartial decisions to be made …which encouraged people to make the right decisions and be held accountable. Relationships are now positive and supportive, and everyone is focussing on the same objectives”.

“FREDD is a single cohesive system designed to contain and reduce transport and harvest cost, enabling better factory control and increase efficiencies in real time”.

“I couldn’t imagine that FREDD would work in our hostile environment but after the project commenced, the finger pointing vanished, and we started working as a team”.
