Plantation software allows plantation professionals to handle tasks such as forecasting, operating harvests and tracking inventory. Besides, plantation companies use the software to predict harvest sizes and optimise their resources. Calendars could also be created, to smoothen its operations.

These software also possess components like trade to track and note dealings while to also manage payments. These platforms provide the tools to document the inventory, equipment, and its personnel.

Almost every plantation software product is able to create reports that are required for accounting or database management tools.

Plantation management helps provide an in-depth inventory such as – yield management and sales management, analyse and asses the crop health and predict the production forecast of both the field and individual tree levels.

This will in turn help to maintain a profitable and sustainable operation of the plantation management process.

Some of the most widely known techniques in agriculture are yield monitoring and mapping. Yield monitoring allows agricultural professionals to collect georeferenced data on crop yields and characteristics, such as moisture content, while the crop is being harvested. This data is collected by sensors and are stored to be used as yield maps which bring significant impact on the decision-making processes.

The key components of yield monitoring and mapping include global positional system receiver (GPS), mass flow sensor, yield monitor, and moisture sensor. These technological components are active during the harvesting process and are installed in a combine harvester.
