State-of-the-art Mobile App to Track Inventory & Manage Fields Operations
Managing field activities, such as tillage, spraying, planting, and harvesting, and keeping track of the inventory to track workforce tasks and progress was difficult.
The client sought to develop a mobile work order management app for use by its managers, operators, and office personnel, for their field tasks and inventory management.
A Fields & Inventory Operations Management mobile app is designed that gives incredible benefits over any remaining earlier techniques used for field workers and to manage agricultural inventory.
ILS is a cattle feeding, farming, and agribusiness firm with operations in Kansas and Nebraska, Innovative Livestock Services, Inc., was founded in Central Kansas in the late 1970s as an independent cattle feedlot. Over the course of the last 40 years, Innovative Livestock Services is a collection of farms and feed yards that raise healthy, wholesome beef.
It was challenging for the ILS to manage fields and track inventory. Finding a solution for these issues required a great deal of planning and expertise. To remain competitive, they needed technology investments and adapt their focus to take advantage of new technological development and opportunities.
The solution is to build a Fields & Inventory Operations Management mobile app accessible to field workers and operators and to manage inventory, enabling the client to eliminate the risk of missing tasks in the field.
First, we identified the challenges being faced by the client. We dissected the problems, prioritized them, and identified the critical parts. We created user personas and identified the pain points for each persona.
Since we mutually decided to customize an existing product, we built wireframes for the additional features and got them approved before creating designs.
Our developers then incorporated the additional requirements of the client into the solution with the help of the wireframes and designs.
After synchronizing and integrating the solution with the client’s data and requirements, the solution was implemented.
With this feature, the workflow goes through three standard levels of approval/rejection. The field managers can also resubmit a rejected job by other operators in authority.
