Success story

José Luis

35 hectares of walnut trees and 25 hectares of cherry trees in Los Niches, Curicó.

History

José Luis has been working in agriculture for more than 15 years. Today, he manages an orchard of 35 hectares of walnut trees and 25 hectares of cherry trees in Los Niches, Curicó, Chile. For José Luis, the orchard is full of challenges where technical skills, good treatment, and labor organization are vital.

Challenge

In the orchard where José Luis works, the order in labor and the constant search for the best solutions to solve the challenges stand out. One of the most critical challenges for José Luis is managing his cherry harvest in an orderly and controlled fashion, always aspiring to a job well done, having detailed reconciliation of numbers, and transparency in payments.

José Luis was looking for a harvest software that would allow him to have total control of his fruits harvest, continuously adapting to his changing needs and adjusting accordingly. For José Luis, "the pencil and paper record is reliable".

Solution

We introduced José Luis to Agrak Harvest and all that the application and our team were able to deliver. He really liked the concept of agility and flexibility of the Agrak Harvest application, being able to add the harvesters in the field, in an agile way in the morning without having to do any previous data uploading work. This was one of the functionalities that he liked the most about the harvesting application. In addition, José Luis appreciated the flexibility at times of greatest need, since with Agrak Harvest he was able to adapt to the day-to-day challenges of the cherry harvest. Another fundamental aspect was the registration of the deliveries made by his harvesters, since with the functionality of the application of the minimum time required between captures, the human error present in the registration of fruit receptions is eliminated.

José Luis wanted online visibility and user-friendly reporting to visualise in real time the amount of fruit he was harvesting in his orchards, being able to compare the different yields in a simple way and understand whether or not it was worthwhile to re-pass those orchards based on expected yields. With Agrak Harvest José Luis was able to eliminate all the paperwork, the time to balance the production and the calculation of remuneration went from several hours to a few minutes.

Outcome and next steps

José Luis was delighted with the Agrak Harvest harvest application. "With this app, everything is more transparent, and I can trust the numbers regarding de harvest production. Also, I can be sure of the number of buckets I am paying. Using the Agrakharvest app, it is almost impossible for me to make a mistake," says José Luis. In the coming years, they hope to increase their production and trust that Agrak Harvest will be the tool that will continue to simplify and professionalize their work.
