Software for Mixed Farmers

Mobble and Agriwebb are both capable of recording general paddock operations for simple cropping enterprises, but Mobble pulls ahead in this area with our Agworld integration. Using Mobble integrated with Agworld means mixed farmers can access the best management system on offer for cropping, and get a whole-farm picture of cropping and livestock management on one platform. 

Individual Livestock Management

Specialised individual livestock management is a growing space, and as demand in this area increases we are going to see some fantastic products develop in the future. Two products that are ahead of the game are Sapien Technology and BlackBoxCo. Agriwebb also offers an individual management option. 

Spreadsheets are also an excellent option for managing individual record keeping, and are highly recommended by industry expert Mark Ferguson from Nextgen Agri. He shares his best tips for getting started with them here.

Compliance and Record-Keeping

The best compliance tool is the one you’ll use on a daily basis. Farmers that use Mobble often say that it’s the most adaptive and user-friendly tool on the market, which means it soon becomes second nature to enter your records as you go about your day. No more scrambling to pull your information together at audit time, the hard work has been done already!

Agriwebb also has excellent compliance capabilities and reporting, while Maia can meet your compliance needs with careful use but really specialises in pasture management.

How to choose farm management software

Before starting to compare software options, make a list of the goals you’d like to achieve by implementing a new system. 

  • Are you looking to really hone in on grazing management at your place? 
  • Is it breeding insights you’re after on an individual animal level? 
  • Or do you want a record keeping system that’s simple for the whole team to get on board with, and cuts your paperwork time down to none?

 Once you’re clear on your goals, it’s time to do a thorough road test of your options to see which system will best help you meet your goals. 

Mobble offers a 21 day free trial without any payment obligations. We’re in touch with all our trialers to get to know you and your goals, and help get you set up. We’re straight-shooters, so don’t hesitate to ask us exactly how Mobble will simplify your farm record keeping and connect your team.
