Bespoke Systems for Agriculture & Food Production
I work with farms, food producers and processing businesses to replace manual processes and fragmented systems with .NET and SQL Server applications tailored to the realities of agriculture and food production.
Whether you’re managing crop or livestock data, running a production line for food products, or coordinating packaging and distribution, it’s common to outgrow spreadsheets and generic software. A carefully designed bespoke web application can bring everything together – production, stock, quality checks and traceability – in one place.
What these systems often include
- Production tracking, from raw inputs through to finished goods
- Batch and lot traceability for compliance and recalls
- Stock management for ingredients, packaging and finished products
- Quality control workflows and inspection checklists
- Reporting dashboards for yields, wastage and performance
Why bespoke software works well here
Agriculture and food production rarely match a tidy template. Seasons, regulations, labelling requirements and retailer expectations can all change quickly. A bespoke system:
- Matches your existing workflows instead of forcing new ones overnight
- Can adapt as your processes, accreditations or retailers change
- Optimises the underlying SQL Server database for your data volumes
- Integrates with accounts, lab equipment or third-party systems as needed
Examples of projects in this space
Projects I’ve delivered have included production-line control systems, data capture apps for staff on the factory floor, and reporting tools that give management a clear view of output, wastage and profitability. Many also include Android apps for use in warehouses, yards or out in the field.
The emphasis is always on reliability and clarity – the system should help you run the operation, not get in the way of it.
Typical features
- Production-line and batch tracking
- Stock management for inputs & outputs
- Quality control and inspection records
- Traceability and recall-ready reporting
- Integration with labelling / weighing hardware
- Mobile apps for field and factory staff
Good fit if you…
- Produce or process food, drink or agricultural products
- Need better stock, QC or traceability than spreadsheets allow
- Have staff using paper forms or ad-hoc tools on site
- Want a system that can grow with your operation
