GoApp: farm intelligence in growers’ pockets, when it matters
Goanna Ag’s new app brings climatic, irrigation and on-farm asset data together on desktop, iPad and mobile, so growers spend less time chasing information and more time acting on it.
On a busy farm, the challenge is rarely a lack of data. It’s the time it takes to find it, make sense of it and act before the window closes. Goanna Ag’s new GoApp is built to close that gap.
GoApp brings all of Goanna Ag’s Climatic, Irrigation Management and On-Farm Asset Monitoring device data into one place. Soil moisture, canopy temperatures, weather, rainfall, meters, water storage, channels, tanks and fuel now sit side by side, on one screen, wherever the grower happens to be.
The payoff is practical. Less time driving to check a channel, a tank or a pump. Irrigations are timed to what the crop needs, when the crop needs it, protecting yield. And problems flagged early, before they turn into costly damage, losses of water, fuel or crop.
Simpler, faster and built for every screen
Goanna Ag Chief Operating Officer, Tom Dowling said the new platform replaces an app that had served growers well but had run its course.
“Our previous app served us and our growers well, but it was outdated,” Tom said.
“GoApp has been designed to be a simpler, faster and more intuitive platform that works consistently across desktop, iPad and mobile.”
That consistency means the same clear picture in the paddock, on the road or back at the office.
What GoApp means for growers
Key improvements in GoApp include:
A new dashboard and widgets that give growers a clear, at-a-glance view of what their data is telling them.
10-day forecasting and alarming on irrigation dates, weather parameters and crop conditions.
Advanced alarms shaped by client feedback, covering water levels, pumping and diesel management.
Improved weather data presentation, with clearer graphs and real-time display.
Mr Dowling said the widgets were designed around how growers actually work.
“A widget is a picture that says a thousand words. It gives growers a clear view of what their data is telling them,” Tom said.
The new widgets within GoApp let growers interact with their data and build out their dashboards so they are unique to their operation, helping them make decisions based on their own data from Goanna Ag devices across the farm.
Shaped by growers in beta testing
GoApp was refined through beta testing with Goanna Ag clients, and the response has been strong.
“We’ve had great feedback, especially around the widgets,” Tom said.
“Grower’s value being able to designate farms in their displays, and to set which users see what. Each person on the operation gets the information they need, without the noise they don’t.
“Forecasting has been another highlight. It’s something our old platform didn’t offer, and we can now run tailored forecasts across a wide range of our weather data.”
Support through the transition
Goanna Ag’s team will support clients throughout the move to GoApp, with on-farm assistance, phone support, Microsoft Teams demonstrations and video training material.
GoApp is available now. Existing clients can log in and find out more at goannaag.com.au/goapp.
