Owlchemy FarmWize
Every block, every herd and every input on one system — with the cost of a season landing in Xero as it happens, not when the books are done in June.
The season ends before the numbers do
Spray records live in a notebook, diesel in a fuel log, labour on a WhatsApp thread, and none of it reaches the accountant until the year is over. By then the decision it should have informed — which block to plant, which to rest — has already been made on a feeling. FarmWize captures the cost where it happens, against the block it happened on.
Costs land on the block that incurred them
Fuel, chemicals, seed, labour and contractor hours are all booked against a block and a season, so gross margin per hectare is a number you can read rather than one you reconstruct.
- Cost per hectare, per block, per season
- Input batches tracked to application
- Contractor hours against the job
- Posts to Xero with tracking already set
Herd movements without a second ledger
Births, deaths, sales and transfers are recorded once. Stock on hand and the value of it follow from the movements rather than from a spreadsheet somebody remembers to update.
- Movements by camp and by group
- Weights and condition at each handling
- Livestock value flowing to the balance sheet
- Losses recorded with a reason, not just a number
Inputs, from order to the ground
What was ordered, what arrived, what is left in the shed, and what went onto which block — one chain, so a stock count is a check rather than a discovery.
- Purchase orders against supplier deliveries
- Shed stock by product and batch
- Withholding periods tracked per application
- Variance visible before the season closes
