The Season Does Not Wait For Your Paperwork.
Agricultural work arrives compressed: a seeding window, a spray window, a harvest, a haul that has to happen in the weeks the ground allows. Everything gets recorded on paper because there is no time to do otherwise, and then the invoicing takes until the snow flies. We build software that fits the season — for custom operators, ag service businesses and agri-food processors.
What Is Custom Agriculture Software?
Custom agriculture software records work against fields and quarters, captures scale and load tickets at the source, keeps application and traceability records, and invoices custom rates per acre, hour, tonne or load. AltaPro AI builds it for Alberta custom operators, ag service businesses and agri-food processors, working offline where there is no signal.

Where It Actually Leaks.
The year's revenue lands in a few weeks
When most of the work happens inside a short window, the paperwork it creates is the constraint on how much work you can take on — not equipment, not people.
Work is measured against land, not addresses
A job is a field, a quarter or a block, often for a grower who is not the person who called. Generic job software has nowhere to put that, so it goes in a notes field and stops being reportable.
Scale and load tickets stay on paper
Weights come back as a stack of tickets from an elevator, a processor or a scale house. Somebody types them in later, and the match between what moved and what was billed is done from memory.
Application records are a risk
Product, rate, date, weather, applicator and location have to be recorded for every application. Kept on paper in a truck, they are the records you need on the one day they cannot be found.
Custom rates differ by job and customer
Per acre, per hour, per tonne, per load, with a different number for the neighbour and a rate agreed three seasons ago. Invoicing means reconstructing what was agreed.
Traceability is a binder
For agri-food processors and packers, lot numbers, receiving records and where each batch went sit in binders and spreadsheets — and a buyer audit or a recall is when they get tested.
Built Around How You Actually Run.
Scope is set against your operation, not against this list — but this is the shape of a build in this sector.
Work orders against land
Jobs recorded against the field, quarter or parcel they happen on, with the grower, landowner and billing party held separately, because they are frequently not the same person.
Scale and load tickets captured at the source
Weights, loads and destinations recorded on a phone at the scale, photographed where a paper ticket is issued, and matched against what gets invoiced — working offline for the stretches with no signal.
Application and compliance records
Product, rate, timing, weather, applicator and location captured as the work happens, producing the record a regulator, a buyer or a certification program asks for without a search through the truck.
Custom-rate invoicing
Per acre, per hour, per tonne or per load, held per customer and per job type, so an invoice comes from the work record instead of a notebook in November.
Scheduling that absorbs weather
A plan that can be re-sequenced when a day is lost and pushed to crews immediately, so everyone knows what today is without a round of phone calls.
Lot tracking for agri-food
Receiving, lots, processing and shipments linked so any batch can be traced forward and back in minutes — the record a buyer audit or a recall asks for.
Built on Work That Runs Today.
Running in production today: a phone-first field quoting platform that took an Edmonton landscaping company from about four hours per quote to under twenty minutes, a second tool built for the spring cleanup rush, and one operations platform that replaced five separate systems for a general contractor. All figures are client-reported, not independently audited.
Seasonal compression, capture in the field with no signal, custom per-customer rates and getting invoices out while the season is still running are problems we have already solved in landscaping and contracting. The same foundation carries over to the field and the scale house.
The Rules, Built In.
The records your industry is held to are captured as the work happens, not rebuilt when someone asks. Systems can be hosted in Canada when you need it, and your data stays yours. How we handle security and data.
Application records
Product, rate, timing, weather, applicator and location captured as the work happens, producing the record a regulator, a buyer or a certification program asks for.
Food traceability
For agri-food businesses: receiving, lots, processing and shipments linked one step forward and one step back, supporting the traceability the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations require.
Privacy & anti-spam
Personal information handled to Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act and PIPEDA, and every follow-up message built for Canada's anti-spam law — consent recorded, unsubscribe honoured at once.
Permissions & audit trail
Permission levels by role, a record of who changed what and when, and anything customer-facing that needs a person held for sign-off. That safeguard layer is AltaGate, and it is in every system we build.
Agriculture & Agri-Food, Answered.
Can Jobs Be Tracked Against Fields and Quarters?
Yes. Work is recorded against the land it happens on — field, quarter or block — with the grower, the landowner and the party being invoiced held as separate parties, because they frequently are.
Will It Work With No Signal?
It is built for that. Capture happens on the device and syncs when coverage returns, which for most field work is the normal condition rather than an exception.
Can It Produce Our Application and Traceability Records?
Product, rate, timing, weather, applicator and location are captured as the work happens, and lots are linked from receiving to shipment, so producing a record for a regulator, a buyer or a certification program is a query rather than a search. What your program requires is set with you or your advisor. It can be hosted in Canada when you need it, and your data stays yours.
Can a Build Be Ready Before Next Season?
That depends on which part you need first. Builds are phased so the piece that removes the biggest constraint ships first rather than waiting on a complete system, and the first call is where we map that against your calendar.
What Does It Cost?
It depends on what you need first and what it connects to. On the 30-minute call we map how a job, a ticket and an invoice move through your operation and give you a rough cost range.
