Seed lot and seed inventory tracking

Feature RequestHigh Priority

Be able to enter seed you are using for which crops. The software can then automatically assign seed lots to your harvests, and update your seed inventory.

Then you can easily know exactly which orders/plantings/harvests were given which seed lots and how much seed was used.

Easily get a list of all the orders/plantings/harvests/tasks associated with any given seed lot. This is important for recalls and compliance.

Get notified when you are running low on seed or when a seed is about to expire and still has inventory.

    Once you get this feature, it’s a clear differentiator to other similar software products. No wonder nobody has the feature, because you say it is hard. That said, I might be minimizing, but in a manufacturing ERP system, this is a really standard feature. Inventory levels for each part used, re-order points etc, lot tracking, very standard feature in an ERP system.

    This is also important incase there is a recall. :-)

    Could you make sure there is an option to add our own lot numbers? I like to use my order codes from which seeding company I got them from.

      Can you explain that a bit more please? Right now we're thinking that you would enter the supplier name, the seed lot provided by the supplier for that shipment of seed, and you'd have to attach it to an existing crop in your farm. As well as other optional fields like delivery date, expiration date, amount, notes, etc. But you could put whatever you want in the supplier lot number field.

    Inventory tracking

    Ability to track various inventory items like seeds so you always know what you have on hand. Also, if sow densities are used accurately we could also estimate when seeds will run out based on sow densities, orders, and inventory levels, and then notify you when you are expected to run out soon. You could set custom buffer values to be notified when you hit that buffer amount.

      There is a lot of power behind this idea.

      When planting, the program could deduct the seeding density from your inventory and send a warning when you're running low. (Allow users to decide when.)

      This could also be good for containers, labels, soil, etc.

        We didn't think about containers, labels, soil, etc, but that's a good idea! But yeah, we want it to be able to automatically deduct seed amounts based on known trays planted and sow densities :)

      Thank you! Yes, seed inventory is on the way! It’s a tough feature though but we’re working on it :)
