Tend

Tend is an all-in-one platform designed to assist small-scale farmers in planning their crops, maintaining records, managing daily operations, and tracking sales. According to the vendor, this comprehensive tool is specifically tailored for small-scale farms and is utilized by farmers, farm managers, agricultural consultants, sustainable agriculture organizations, and organic farming operations.

Key Features

Crop Planning: According to the vendor, Tend combines crop planning with daily task management to reduce record-keeping overhead and simplify scheduling tasks week-to-week. It automatically generates planting and seeding tasks for crops and provides a bird's eye view of the plan from start to finish.

Tasks: Tend allows users to manage all farm tasks in one place, track labor costs by task, and easily create records when tasks are completed. Farm managers can assign tasks to the farm crew and track product applications for organic certification.

Online Stores: Tend enables users to create a catalog based on the crop plan, set order limits to avoid overselling, and specify pick-up or delivery options for customers. Users have the option to use either Shopify or Tend's built-in store for the storefront and can integrate with pick and pack for seamless order fulfillment.

Offer Sheets: Tend allows users to create a catalog based on the crop plan, set unique product pricing and availability for different customer groups, and send offers to customers manually or on a schedule. Users can also customize pick-up and delivery options, collect payments via Square, and auto-email invoices/receipts.

Pick & Pack: According to the vendor, Tend seamlessly integrates with Shopify or Online Store orders, automatically appearing in pick and pack lists. Users can aggregate all sales channels into a single pick and pack list and interact with pick and pack tasks in the field via the mobile app. Additionally, users have the ability to print pick lists and pack slips and access yield reports by crop, variety, or planting.

Reports: Tend offers users the ability to view planned vs. actual figures, understand labor expenses by crop, review crop yields and timing during their lifecycle, and download reports into CSV format. Users can utilize filters to drill into data and gain valuable insights.
