Agricultural software, integrations & automation

Connect Your Field Operations and Farm Business.

Managing fieldwork, employees, equipment, irrigation, and costs across multiple locations can get complicated. We build custom software, mobile apps, equipment integrations, and automation that connect your agricultural operations, simplify daily work, and give you better visibility across your business. With firsthand farming experience, we understand how technology needs to work in the field.

Capture Fieldwork Where It Happens.

Farm work happens across fields, crews, and equipment, but information often gets lost between paper records, texts, and spreadsheets. We build mobile tools that let teams record completed work, labor hours, equipment usage, and expenses directly from the field, keeping office records, reporting, and accounting connected without duplicate data entry.

Custom field operations apps

Simple Field Reporting. Connected Farm Operations.

Give supervisors and crews an easy way to record fieldwork, labor hours, equipment usage, and job progress from their phones. We build mobile apps with ranch and block tracking, photos, approvals, and accounting integrations, including offline access for areas with limited connectivity.

Interactive concept only; no work records are saved or transmitted. We build field activity tracking, foreman applications, ranch and block management, work assignments, crew reporting, equipment usage, photos, GPS-supported records, approvals, and accounting integrations. Because cellular coverage is inconsistent across agricultural properties, field apps can capture data offline and synchronize when connectivity returns.

Ranch & block management

A grower thinks in ranches, fields, and blocks, not spreadsheet rows.

Agriculture is map-first. A connected map ties each block to its crop, acreage, current and upcoming work, equipment, and the records and costs associated with it. Select a block to see what's happening there.

Block 12Almonds80 ac

  • Recorded cost / acre$525

Illustrative ranch detail. A map can show field boundaries, crops and acreage, current and upcoming fieldwork, equipment and irrigation locations, activity history, sensor readings, authorized satellite or aerial imagery, and the costs associated with each block. This is where our mapping, data visualization, mobile, and connected-hardware work come together.

Field costs & operational reporting

Know what each field is costing you.

Accounting software shows what you spent on labor, fuel, fertilizer, chemicals, repairs, and contractors, but not always which ranch, block, or crop the money went to. Connecting field activity to expenses makes operating costs clear while there's still time to act on them.

North Ranch · Almonds · recorded operating costs
Recorded cost per acre $525
  • Labor$18,400
  • Equipment$6,200
  • Materials$12,500
  • Outside services$4,900
Recorded operating costs$42,000
Irrigation, equipment & connected hardware

Make better use of the information coming from your equipment.

Growers may already have irrigation controllers, flow meters, pressure sensors, pump monitoring, soil moisture probes, weather stations, and equipment telematics, often spread across vendor portals, or not connected at all.

Pumps & irrigation systems

Runtime, flow, pressure, monitoring, and maintenance.

Field sensors

Moisture, weather, and environmental measurements.

Machinery & telematics

Equipment activity, location, hours, and work records.

Custom field applications

Mobile monitoring, reporting, alerts, and work assignments.

Labor, contractors & field services

Keep track of the people and services getting the work done.

A grower may coordinate employees, foremen, farm labor contractors, custom harvest operators, spray contractors, and irrigation service companies across multiple properties. A ranch operations calendar shows who's doing what, where, and when.

Inputs, inventory & application records

Know what was used, where it was applied, and what's left.

Fertilizers, soil amendments, crop protection materials, irrigation parts, and fuel are often purchased centrally but used across different fields. Connecting purchases, inventory, application records, and field costs keeps the picture accurate.

  1. 1

    Materials received

    Inventory and purchase records are updated when supplies arrive.

  2. 2

    Field application recorded

    Ranch, block, date, material, amount, and operator are captured.

  3. 3

    Inventory updated

    Remaining quantities adjust automatically.

  4. 4

    Costs allocated

    Usage flows to the right field and crop records.

Who we build for

Across agriculture, not just growers.

Farms & growers

Fieldwork, irrigation, equipment, labor, and costs.

Agricultural service providers

Dispatch, scheduling, work orders, crews, and invoicing.

Processors & packing facilities

Receiving, production, traceability, equipment, and reporting.

Ag suppliers & equipment businesses

Inventory, customer portals, service records, and integrations.

We work with what you already have.

We also work with wineries, agricultural cooperatives, and food producers. Some of the strongest custom-software opportunities come from service providers, processors, and suppliers, not only individual growers.

Local to California

Agricultural software development and farm systems integration in California.

Develop & Conquer helps growers, agricultural service providers, processors, and agribusinesses connect field operations, equipment, employees, inventory, and business software.

From custom field applications and irrigation monitoring to farm management integrations and operational reporting, we build technology around the way agricultural businesses actually operate.

Common questions

Agricultural software and integrations, answered.

Can you connect our farm management software with accounting?

We evaluate the platforms you use, available APIs, and data structures to determine how field activity, expenses, inventory, and accounting records can be connected.

Can you build a custom app for our farm or agricultural business?

Yes. We develop custom web and mobile applications for field operations, scheduling, crew workflows, reporting, and other specialized needs.

Can you connect John Deere Operations Center to other software?

Potentially. John Deere provides developer APIs for supported agricultural data, subject to licensing, permissions, and customer authorization.

Can you integrate Climate FieldView data into a custom application?

We can evaluate the FieldView developer platform, supported data, and partner access requirements for your use case.

Can you connect irrigation sensors and pump monitoring?

Where supported, we can integrate compatible equipment and sensor data into monitoring applications and reporting tools. Monitoring is distinct from remote equipment control, which requires additional engineering and safety assessment.

Can you build software that works without cell service?

Yes. We can design applications with offline data capture and synchronization, with appropriate handling for conflicts and incomplete uploads.

Can you track labor and equipment costs by ranch or block?

Yes. We can build workflows that associate approved labor, equipment, material, and service records with specific fields or cost centers.

Can you create digital field application records?

Yes. We can build digital recordkeeping workflows. Regulated applications require careful evaluation of the applicable data, approval, retention, and reporting requirements.

Can you connect satellite imagery with our field records?

Potentially. We can evaluate authorized imagery sources, field boundaries, and mapping tools to create applications that display imagery alongside operational information.

Can AI help analyze our farm's operations?

AI can assist with analyzing authorized field records, costs, equipment information, and other data. Its conclusions should be validated against actual conditions before operational decisions are made.

Do we need to replace our existing farm management software?

Not necessarily. We start by evaluating the systems you already use and determining whether integrations, extensions, or custom applications can solve the problem.
