AgConnexion | Portal: 8 features for simpler farm management

AgConnexion | Portal is the easy-to-use gateway to your farm’s digital transformation. Here’s an overview of the key tools, functions, and features this farm management solution has to offer.

Digital technology is everywhere. We’re already using our smartphones to check the weather, schedule appointments, and manage our bank accounts. All these technologies have a common purpose: to simplify our daily lives. Adopting digital farming technology is no different—it’s just common sense.

And that’s the promise of AgConnexion | Portal: to simplify your work by providing a single platform for all your farm management and decision-making tools, with 24/7 access from your phone, tablet, or computer.

On the portal, you can view and download administrative documents, such as invoices and account statements, as well as agronomic data, such as laboratory analyses and AEFPs. Let’s take a look at what else AgConnexion | Portal can do for you.

8 key features of AgConnexion | Portal

1. Document management module
   Say goodbye to piles of papers and lost notebooks! The AgConnexion portal automatically organizes all the documents you receive from your cooperative or agri-advisor, including account statements, scouting reports, feed recommendations, AEFPs, and product application records.
   You can search by keyword, filter the list, and download and print documents at any time. You have full control over your document management.

2. Billing report generator
   In just a few clicks, you can filter and group your invoices to generate a comprehensive billing report. No more downloading invoices one by one!

3. Accounting software integration
   The portal can be integrated with certain accounting software packages to automatically generate accounting entries from invoices in AgConnexion. This reduces the need for manual input, minimizes errors, and increases productivity.

4. Grain module
   The AgConnexion Grain Module lets field crop farmers track market grain prices in real time by delivery location, so you can secure prices fast. You can also keep an eye on market trends to help you make informed decisions. Just be aware that not all cooperatives have activated this module, so ask your agri-advisor about it.

5. Toolbox module
   This module contains decision-making support tools provided by your cooperative, such as calculators, tutorials, and useful documents like technical data sheets and newsletters.

6. Secondary user access
   You can share your AgConnexion access with other key people in your company, such as accountants, managers, or successors. Each secondary user has their own password, and you have master control over all accounts.

7. Multi-platform integration
   AgConnexion | Portal connects not only to AgConnexion | Smart Farm but also to many other platforms, software applications, and digital tools, including ones used by analysis laboratories and farm equipment companies. You don’t have to switch from one program to another anymore. All your important information is in the same place.

8. Alerts and notifications
   You can easily change your communication preferences to get alerts and notifications when a new document is ready for viewing.

    

Comprehensive support, season after season

AgConnexion | Portal supports farmers on four fronts:

• Transactions: You can view a wide range of transaction-related information and documents, such as invoices and account statements, and renew orders quickly and easily. Some cooperatives also let you access the Grain Module for added benefits.

• Operations: You have access to agronomic documents, such as recommendations, laboratory analyses, AEFPs, scouting reports, product application records, and Aviscan reports.

• Analytics: Your agri-advisor can analyze your data and develop recommendations tailored to your farm’s unique needs.

• Decision-making: You agri-advisor knows how to use all of AgConnexion’s modules, tools, and functions to help you make the right decisions, especially when it comes to the 4Rs: right source, right rate, right time, right place. They can even help you optimize your livestock management.

   

Go at your own pace

Many farmers have already taken the plunge into digital agriculture, while others are still hesitant to dip their toes in. Why?

• Technological reasons: Incompatible equipment, slow internet connections, finding the technology too complicated.

• Financial reasons: Too expensive, hard to predict profitability.

• Personal reasons: Need for training and support, negative perceptions of digital technology.

• Risk-related reasons: Concerns about data privacy, lack of trust in digital technology.

   

But there are also many reasons to adopt digital technology on your farm:

• Increased productivity and profitability

• Better quality of life and time management

• Faster decision-making

• Streamlined farm operations and management

• Better tracking of production and animal behaviour

• More precise and environmentally friendly input application

• Labour shortage solution

• Lower input and feed costs

• And more!

Going digital doesn’t have to be a leap of faith. You can introduce digital technology to your farm at your own pace, one step at a time.

AgConnexion | Portal is a great place to start, because it’s a user-friendly tool that lets you gradually incorporate the features you want, one at a time.

And best of all, you don’t have to do it alone. Talk to your agri-advisor to get started.
