John Deere Agri Services has completed new functionality for the AgroGuide™ and AgLogic™ systems that allows for complete, automated work order management for ag service providers. With the seamless transfer of work order information between the AgroGuide and AgLogic systems, orders can be completed more accurately and invoiced more quickly. This automation reduces the risk of lost paperwork for improved profitability, cash flow and inventory management, as well as enhanced productivity in daily operations.

Work orders created in the AgroGuide agronomy management system seamlessly transfer to the AgLogic system. The new AgLogic system is a Web-based logistics management application from John Deere Agri Services that enables commercial service providers to easily schedule work orders and dispatch them to applicators and tenders in the field. Once the field operations are completed by the applicator, information from the application event - including field conditions and any application adjustments that were made - are imported into the AgroGuide system, and a delivery ticket is created and inventory information is updated. This delivery ticket is immediately available to the billing staff for invoicing, or changes can be made and services or products can be added to the invoice before billing, if needed.

The process also allows automatic batching of a group of delivery tickets for billing at the same time. The automated work order management functionality improves the accuracy and timeliness of billing by eliminating delays for field documents from the applicator.
