• Inventory Tracking: Keeping record of all inventory in the one place, whether it be cattle or crop of oils or minerals, tracking the status and quality of your products will optimise harvesting and livestock sales.
• Accounting: Basic accounting with the agriculture software will help manage finances and employees, simplify account reporting by creating Balance sheets, accounts payable and accounts receivable repots.
• Management: Agriculture accounting software should also manage the inventory for items like fertilizers, chemicals, seeds, equipment and more. This feature is usually called warehouse management and its purpose is to help you maintain correct warehouse stock levels.

Some benefits to using agriculture accounting software include the minimisation of staff cost’s in administration jobs.

Falling back into the inventory management topic, you need to be able to keep track of inventory in multiple units of measure depending on the type of crop or commodity you are selling. If you have more than one form or plot, these requirements need to be met in the inventory management system.
