SOFTWARE > SCHEDULING

The E4 Scheduling software module offers a sophisticated, scalable way of keeping track of activities and activity assignments across multiple fields and multiple farms. Customers record activity data—dates, applied product rates or quantities, etc.—either manually or by uploading application data recorded by their onboard monitors. Standard reports show how predicted application quantities and costs (recorded in the E4 Crop Planning module) compare to the actuals, enabling customers to do more effective planning in the next crop cycle.

Retailers and large farming operations find the Scheduling module particularly useful for vendor management. Upcoming work is represented visually on a map, so customers can easily assign and reassign jobs based on their proximity, saving valuable time and travel expenses. Vendors utilize the Schedule module directly, indicating if the job has been started, completed or postponed, and recording any relevant notes about the work that was done.

To use this module customers must also have the Crop Planning module.

How it works:

	Customers configure field parameters in the E4 Gateway module and plan field activities using the E4 Crop Planning module.
	If desired, customers create user accounts for activity providers, employees and other stakeholders who may need to update activity data or receive activity-related communications.
	Customers assign activities, automatically scheduling reminder notifications (sent via text or email) to all applicable recipients.
	Activity providers log in to record details about the work that was done—e.g. date completed, applied quantities, work notes, etc.
