Record+ Software

Integrated software for agricultural geomatics & record-keeping

Thanks to the Record+ software, you can keep your farm plan updated and record all data relevant to your agricultural production in an efficient and rapid manner. Record+ is, all at the same time, a geomatic, reminder, communication and formidable decision support tool.

Record+ is provided for free to all members of the Logiag network.

A gateway to agricultural geomatics

Using Record+ opens a window on a virtual visit to your fields, with GPS in hand. By opening the software, you see a geo-referenced aerial photo of your farm. You can outline the boundaries of your fields directly on this photo. It is what we call a “geo-referenced plan” for the farm.

Unlike in other record-keeping software on the market, geomatics doesn’t only have a cosmetic function. In Record+, the geo-referenced plan of a farm comprises the foundation on which all other data is supported. Record+ is aware of the geographical position of the cursor when you move it across the aerial photograph. It knows the surface area of each one of your fields.

Agricultural record-keeping that conforms to the regulations in force

The regulations in force in Québec require that agricultural producers keep a complete record of all agricultural activities. Record+ allows all the essential data for your agricultural operation to be recorded:

Crop plan
Crop variety
Fertilizer formulas
Record of soil work
Data regarding production sites

Data regarding the herd
Data regarding the amount and quality of organic fertilizers
Record of spreading organic fertilizers
Record of mineral fertilizer applications
Record of lime applications

Record of crop protection applications
Soil analysis results
Etc.

Only a few hours of training required.

Record+ is very easy to use. You do not need to have studied computers or geomatics in order to use it. Everything in Record+ was thought out in order to simplify the life of a user. The majority of people successfully master it with less than 2 hours of training.

The data is entered in uniform electronic formulas. Data entry is done in data tables similar to those found in the Microsoft ExcelTM program. All formulas work in the same way. There are no complicated or confusing ways to have to search for data. Everything can be found at a quick glance. The more complicated data such as crops, varieties, or livestock are entered with the help of dropdown boxes.

Functions offered in Record+

Viewing the plan of the farm superimposed on top of geo-referenced aerial photos with great precision.
Virtual navigation tools for the farm : zoom in and out of aerial photos, move the area being visualized, zoom in on a particular field.
Tools to draw in markings for fields, ditches, streams, rivers and surrounding roads.
Preparation tools for soil testing.

Electronic formulas for data entry similar to Microsoft Excel™
Repetitive copying tools; for example, copy a formula for fertilizer applied to all fields that grow the same crop.
Data sorting and grouping tools
Printing of farm plans
Printing of thematic maps (soil series, crop plan, etc.)

Field merger and separation tools
Printing reports of all types
Import geomatic data from other software
Export farm plans to Google Earth and to several other geomatics software
GPS interface with guidance system to capture samples in the field

And if something is not covered…

Record+ is expandable. It can be custom adapted according to the specific needs of a client. Unlike other software on the market, the structure of electronic formulas for entering data is not fixed in a code. The structure can be modified to receive any data pertinent to a particular context. Each segment of the agri-food sector can have its own profile: dairy farms, pork farms, cash crop producers, market garden producers. Data profiles can also be adapted according to changes in regulations or according to the nature of the work to be carried out. Already existing data profiles can be used for early detection, and recording farm traceability and agri-environmental data.

Stable & Powerful

Record+ will not drop you in the middle of a work session. Its technological base is the product of 10 years of research and development in geomatics on behalf of the aerospace and defense industries.
