Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is an IT system that integrates all business processes, enabling automatic collection, storage, and analysis of data. In the context of farms, an ERP system helps manage resources—from land and machinery to personnel and agricultural inputs. With an ERP system, a farmer gains complete control over the operation, minimizes errors, oversees tasks, and streamlines daily workflows.

Benefits of Implementing FarmPortal
- Increased Efficiency and Profitability – through precise planning, resource monitoring, and cost control, farmers can boost their farm’s performance.
- Complete Control over Production – all data regarding crops, machinery, personnel, and expenses is consolidated in one place, enabling better management and faster decision-making.
- Improved Risk Management – the system tracks crop health and weather conditions, allowing for rapid responses to changes and risk minimization.
- Regulatory Compliance – FarmPortal makes it easy to manage farm certifications, staff licenses, and traceability of products “from field to fork,” which is essential in modern food production.
Key ERP Solutions for Agriculture
1. Farm Resource Management
FarmPortal enables comprehensive management of land parcels (including TERYT cadastral units), machinery, staff, and buildings. Each asset is closely monitored, giving farmers real-time information on machine status (service records, fueling history), crops, inventory levels, and employee details (salaries, certifications, documents). This empowers informed decision-making and more effective farm management.
2. Precise Agricultural Production Planning
Planning fertilization, irrigation, and crop protection treatments becomes simpler with a built-in database of fertilizers and plant protection products approved by the Ministry of Agriculture. FarmPortal also allows creation of fertilizer recommendations based on soil test results and precision application maps, tailoring doses to crop requirements.
3. Scheduling of Agronomic Operations
FarmPortal provides tools for planning and closely monitoring agronomic tasks. By assigning machinery and personnel to specific activities and tracking their progress (planned, in progress, completed), farm managers maintain full visibility over operations and their status.
4. Production Cost Control
One of the most critical aspects of farm management is cost control. FarmPortal facilitates detailed accounting of expenses related to fertilizers, plant protection products, fuel, services, and other components of crop production costs.
5. Crop Health Monitoring
Through integration with modern technologies—such as weather stations, soil sensors, and satellite imagery—FarmPortal enables continuous monitoring of crop conditions and comparison with historical data. Farmers receive real-time insights into soil moisture, temperature, and rainfall levels.
6. Decision Support System
FarmPortal includes a decision support system that assists farmers in making optimal choices for fertilization, irrigation, and spraying. The system analyzes available data and recommends best practices, enhancing the effectiveness of operations.
7. Inventory and Warehouse Management
FarmPortal makes it easy to track goods receipts and issues, as well as assign serial numbers and batch codes to products corresponding to particular fields. This ensures full control over inventory, which is crucial for procurement planning and product sales.
8. End-to-End Traceability
FarmPortal provides full traceability from cultivation to final sale. By linking each batch of produce to a specific field, cadastral unit, and agronomic treatments, farmers achieve complete transparency in their processes.
9. Process Automation and Work Control
FarmPortal automates many tasks, such as generating treatment schedules, calculating costs, and monitoring production progress. It also tracks workforce and machinery hours in detail.
Summary
Thanks to its flexibility and integration of diverse processes, FarmPortal embodies all the features of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system—combining finance, human resources, equipment, and production management into a single, cohesive environment. This tool enables farmers to make better, data-driven decisions, increases operational efficiency, and provides tighter control over costs and resources. With FarmPortal, farms can operate more effectively, safely, and in compliance with current regulations.
