Slingshot’s holistic suite of operations management software and tools syncs your agricultural operations across machines, offices, and devices. With its connectivity and logistics features, Slingshot will improve your ability to make informed decisions, reduce redundancies, avoid misapplications, and provide visibility across your entire fleet, fields, and jobs.ENHANCE FARM LOGISTICS AND OPERATIONSThe information that Slingshot collects will provide you with a large range of dispatch, machine telematics, monitoring, and reporting information at your fingertips. You can use this data to make informed decisions and identify areas for improvement throughout the growing season and into harvest.The ability to easily visualize and use your operations data creates efficiency at every step in the growing process. You can access Slingshot right from your computer, tablet, or mobile device to make operations decisions, track progress, and assign tasks in real time. Combined with a Field Hub 2.1 modem, you will be able to access your Slingshot data from inside the cab of your machine.MANAGE RESOURCE DEMANDS FROM A CONNECTED PLATFORMReal-time communication between Slingshot and integrated software applications standardizes data across machines and platforms. With Slingshot’s collaborative application program interface (API), you can connect to third-party organizations and integrated software platforms seamlessly. Then, whenever data is entered, it is automatically shared across devices, facilities, and stakeholders. No additional paperwork or follow-up phone calls are needed.This integrated farm connectivity allows dispatchers and planners to get work orders entered earlier in the season, which relieves some of the busy-season stress. With API connections to various enterprise resource planning (ERP), farm management information systems (FMIS), invoicing, blending, and add-on software, Slingshot ensures all your data is consistent across all your devices and software.SYNC YOUR CONNECTED WORKFLOW® FOR 20% MORE EFFICIENCYSlingshot allows you to manage your complete operation from start to finish with real-time dispatching, insights, analytics, order creation, and reporting. These core capabilities further enhance accuracy and efficiency when integrated with a Viper® 4+ display or mobile tablet device and a connectivity modem (Field Hub 2.1 or RS1™) to form the Connected Workflow®.The Connected Workflow allows jobs to sync from office to field computer and back again, maximizing efficiencies from work order dispatch through completion with real-time updates along the way.Using the Connected Workflow to plan jobs, identify and reduce idle time, and streamline communication, custom applicators can:CONNECT: Connect to machines (via Viper 4, Field Hub 2.1, Fleet Tracker, RS1, Field Ops mobile app), to Third-Party Organizations, to Integrated Software Platforms (FMIS, ERP systems, Blending software, Accounting, and add-ons), to Staff/personnel, and to Customers.CREATE: Create Grower, Farm, Field (GFF) profiles, field boundaries, tasks, work orders from GFF, scouting reports, and tender truck loads and blends.COORDINATE: Assign work by personnel or asset, coordinate jobs among several stakeholders (from order through delivery), get updates in real time, live progress updates visible from anywhere/any device, and see what work is being completed when it is getting done.COMPLETE: Get real-time completion notifications, comprehensive completion reports, digital records of as-applied data, and report results via integrated software solutions and third-party integrations.With all farm data management operations perfectly in sync, Slingshot Connected Workflow helps operations be about 20% more efficient.OPERATIONAL LOGISTICSWith Slingshot, you can see the exact locations and statuses of every piece of equipment to manage your fleet precisely and accurately. Send detailed workorders and prescriptions to each machine with ease. Prevent misapplications in the field with multi-machine job sharing, allowing two or more machines to work — either simultaneously or before/after an interruption — without overlapping or redoing work.APPLICATION REPORTINGSlingshot captures and stores all your application data. Easily access information from current and previous jobs to make better, more lucrative operational decisions for future jobs. Job and machine analytics information, such as application rate and product usage, are stored for seamless access from anywhere, empowering you to make real-time data-driven decisions that gain real efficiencies.MACHINE MONITORINGSlingshot provides detailed, real-time machine information including total working hours, idle time, field/road transit time, gallons of fuel used, machine idle time, and acres traveled, to help you monitor and supply your fleet. For example, if your operator is working in a field and is running low on product, you can automatically see that from the office and send a tender driver out exactly when they need it. Using telematics effectively reduces downtime, ensuring every minute counts in the field.TASK DISPATCHINGManage your assets in real time as conditions change – centralizing your dispatching.
