Live GPS-tracked operations
Start a session before you roll out. Pause for refills. End it and the chemical application, planting, fertilizer, or harvest record is already drafted — with actual acres covered, the field(s) you drove through, and a coverage polygon as visual proof.
Why it matters
Most spray records get typed from memory at the end of the day. They list the field's full nominal acreage — even when the operator skipped a corner because the wind picked up, ran short on tank mix, or cut around a wet hole. Hand-entered records aren't wrong because anyone lied; they're wrong because no one can recall a 14-hour day at field-acre precision.
A GPS-tracked session records what actually happened. Actual acres. Actual fields. Actual time.
The flow
- Tap + → Tracked operation on the home screen.
- Pick the kind (planting / chemical / fertilizer / harvest), equipment, and product / seed lot.
- Hit Start. Headland turns on the GPS subscription and begins recording.
- Pause anytime — for refills, weather holds, lunch, end of day. Resume seamlessly.
- Hit Complete when you're done. The session computes per-field acres, builds a coverage polygon, and creates the matching operation record(s) — one per detected field by default.
- Review the auto-generated record(s) on screen. Edit anything that's wrong. Save.
What you get on the record
- Actual acres covered. Buffered breadcrumb track × equipment working width.
- Multiple fields in a single session. One pass that crosses three fields creates three records.
- Weather snapshot captured at session start.
- Equipment hours auto-incremented from session duration (Business tier).
- Coverage polygon stored as visual proof, rendered on the field map.
- REI / PHI cross-check at completion. The save is blocked unless you override with a reason on a restricted field.
Built for the field
- Pause / resume as many times as needed. Paused breadcrumbs don't count.
- Crash recovery. Phone dies mid-field? Reopen, and the session is right where you left off.
- Offline-tolerant. No signal? Breadcrumbs buffer locally and flush automatically when you reconnect.
- Adaptive battery use. Sample cadence backs off when you're stopped. Target: ≤10% battery / hour on a mid-range Android.
- Multi-field sweeps. A sprayer that runs six fields off one tank gets six accurate records.
Tier availability
- Pro — single-kind sessions, one product / seed lot per session, manual completion review.
- Business — multi-field sessions, refill tracking, mid-session product swaps, equipment hours auto-incremented, custom-work-for-hire flagging.
