Enhance work-flow using AgSync

As your business grows, so does the number of logistical challenges. AgSync helps ag retailers like you streamline your operations by improving connectivity and communication between the sales and operations departments. With sales orders entered directly into the system by sellers, paperwork and small tasks are drastically reduced, paving the way for enhanced scheduling and dispatching. Below are some of the benefits I’ve experienced while working with the program.
 
On-The-Go Scheduling
As a previous operations manager, I saw how AgSync improves communication and workflow throughout the organization with customizable work orders that include detailed notes about field locations, sensitive areas around application sites and other pertinent information. As sellers input their orders and notes into the system, operations managers and dispatchers can easily assign jobs to the right machines and applicators as well as designate predetermined tender truck drop off locations.
 
When a weather event delays applications in one area, AgSync helps managers quickly reroute work to other areas, without drivers having to return to headquarters for new work orders. AgSync is brand agnostic, offering the flexibility needed to integrate with most cab controllers.
 
Time-Saving Dispatching
When scheduling work with AgSync, I really appreciated how easy it was to follow the system’s intuitive prompts. I particularly liked being able to batch all the products that were typically applied together on similar jobs, eliminating the need to enter the same products multiple times. In one easy step I could select the fields to be treated, add the correct group of products to be used and choose the most efficient application route for the fields.
 
The order was then sent directly to applicators with detailed colored maps, GPS coordinates for the fields being treated and clear instructions to help them confidently complete the jobs. Farmers could then be alerted via text or email when their jobs had been completed, reducing the amount of time spent on follow-up calls.  
 
Added Retailer Value
AgSync also makes it easier for you to complete same-day invoicing for greater accuracy and better inventory management. As applicators sign off on completed jobs via AgSync, the accounting department can immediately process invoices rather than dealing with mounds of paperwork days or weeks later.
