Conservis

The software is good and the customer service is great.

Vorteile:

With multiple operations taking place very quickly in short bursts throughout the year, Conservis really helps us not only track inventory, but where operators are at and what they've completed. It really is amazing how many times I reference tickets to look up dates of completion, product use, rate, acres etc. It brings all the data to one location and allows operators to do it from smart phones and tablets for real time information. I've personally met a lot of the staff and everyone is eager to help and they value the feedback. I've never met a staff as committed to continual improvement.

Nachteile:

Like most apps, there are some frustrations with phone apps, but glitches usually get worked out. All of the "pieces" are in the software to really be powerful, but right now there is some double entry or lengthy processes involved. None that affect functionality but just some items need streamlined as the software continues to grow.

Hemp Farming With Conservis

Kommentare: We are tracing data in a industry that is brand new , with Conservis we are leading the way in tracking the data we need as an operation and to set a standard in this industry.

Vorteile:

The Ability to adapt the software to our specific needs as a company and for our specific crop. Amazing!

Nachteile:

With excellent customer support it is hard to find a dislike because how conservis is able to work with the user and fix just about any issue that arouse.

Very limited, very expensive

Vorteile:

At first we had decent onboarding, but our customer rep left the company and it's now lack luster

Nachteile:

Activities are limited to iOS only. Can't use a webpage or an android device to finish a task. Might work for a small mom and pop farm, after they put themselves in massive debt to subscribe but on an enterprise scale with farm workers, giving them fragile devices isn't a great idea.

Easy to use and understand, makes record keeping much easier!

Kommentare: Our farming operation has used this software for several years. Our operators use the app in the field as they plant and spray, so record keeping has become easier. We utilize the harvest data for both yield and inventory. We are able to track incoming and outgoing loads of grain and see on a daily basis the current inventory. The new partner integration has allowed us to transmit records without manually entering field applications.

Vorteile:

Very easy to use, all of our applicators are able to record their spraying and planting data in the field. The new feature of integrating data from partners with John Deere and Field View is a great addition to Conservis. I personally love the harvest side to monitor yields, and inventory on our grain crops. I use the settlement features to track load of grain not paid and specific crop inventories. We farm approx 8500 acres and are able to keep records on a farm by farm basis as well as individual crop yields. Reporting features on planting, spraying, individual inputs, and harvest are beneficial to our operation.

Nachteile:

It would be great if the actual acreage planted was used for yields instead of the crop acres assigned to the field. We tend to assign approx acres by crop for each farm and when yields are calculated, the acres used are not the actual planted acres. On the contract feature, an edit option would be easier to use if there were an overage of bushels on the contract or if you needed to correct the year or other data assigned to the contract.

Pre 2020 Review

Kommentare: I really enjoy the working relationship with the conservis team. Personal has changed over the years and yet the spirit to help and learn has continued. I help desk is awesome and goes above and beyond to assist.

Vorteile:

The conserivs product is extremely helpful in inventory management. We really like the grain management process and using cart weights to determine yields. It has allowed us to make faster and more accurate grain marketing decisions because we have more accurate inventory. WE also like the machine integration with inputs. This is allowing us to keep an eye on inputs through out the season and creates a history of the products used on the field. I use the chemical reconciliation to determine actual product applied and the ability to prorate the product across all acres involved. Lastly I like the concept of micro management and zone economics and providing a tool to analyse each zone.

Nachteile:

It is very heavy on data input and the time it takes to get the data into the system and to keep in current. Many times I think I need an employee just to keep this system current, which defeats the purpose of the software. It has many, many options which I appreciate but its so complex that the time to understand or to make edits is very time consuming. Some of the challenges are blamed on Conservis when they are behavior or technology changes that the users struggle to grasp. Example - when started older generation didn't understand how to use Ipad and touch screen to make tickets.
