AGRICULTURE · ViaCRM for industries

Agriculture and land

Land and lease records, subsidies and deadlines, work in the field, warehouses and sales. Connections to LPIS, machinery, weather and satellite imagery.

Typical challenges

A farm keeps land in spreadsheets and maps, leases in binders and subsidy deadlines in a calendar. Work in the field is written on paper, machine data sits in manufacturers' apps and stock exists only in the storekeeper's head. Working out the cost and yield of a specific field block takes days.

How ViaCRM helps

ViaCRM holds land, contracts, work and stock together. Public data from LPIS and the land registry is pulled onto the parcels, subsidy and lease deadlines are tracked, and data from machinery, weather and satellites arrives where decisions about the work are made.

Reference in this field

AGRINOVA also uses ViaCRM to manage sales and jobs in agriculture.

What ViaCRM can do

What ViaCRM handles in this field. The label shows what is part of ViaCRM and what connects to an external system.

Land and contracts

Parcels, their owners and lease contracts are in one place. LPIS and land registry data fill in by themselves and contracts are signed electronically.

Land and field block recordsIn ViaCRM: Every parcel and field block has a card with area, crop type, owner or tenant, contract and history. Everything is shown on a map and can be filtered by crop, centre or owner.
LPIS: field blocks and partsSystem connection: Public data from the LPIS register (field blocks, their area and land use) is provided for export by the Ministry of Agriculture. It is imported onto the parcels, so it is not retyped from the map, and compared with your own records.
Land registry: owners and parcelsSystem connection: Parcel and ownership information is available through ČÚZK remote access (WSDP web services for registered users, a paid service). Addresses and buildings are verified against the RÚIAN register.
Land lease contractsIn ViaCRM: Contract validity, rent amount and due date, indexation and landlord contact. The system warns of an approaching end of lease and of payments, so you do not lose land because of a missed deadline.
Contract signing in SigniSystem connection: Lease and purchase contracts and addenda are sent for e-signature from the parcel or landlord card. The signed document is stored back.

Subsidy applications and deadlines in ViaCRM

Subsidies and deadlines

Subsidy programmes and deadlines are tracked well ahead, so none is forgotten.

Subsidy and deadline monitoringSystem connection: The system tracks subsidy programmes and deadlines relevant to farmers and shows on a parcel or centre what the business may be entitled to. Application and document deadlines are tracked for each year.

In the field

Tasks, work done and photos are recorded from the phone on the specific block. Data from machinery, weather and satellites gives context for decisions.

Farm plan and work in the fieldIn ViaCRM: Crop rotations, planned operations (sowing, fertilising, spraying, harvest) and tasks for workers and machinery. On a field block you see what was done and when, and the basis for the statutory record of fertiliser and product use is produced.
Mobile app for the fieldIn ViaCRM: A worker sees tasks by field block, records work done, uploads photos of damage or weeds and notes with a GPS position. Data is saved to the specific block even without signal and transferred when connected.
Machinery and manufacturer telematicsSystem connection: Agricultural machinery manufacturers offer interfaces for access to machine data, for example John Deere Operations Center or CNH FieldOps. Position, engine hours, completed operations and faults can be shown on the parcel and a fault can create a service task. The data available is set by the manufacturer.
Weather and rainfallSystem connection: The Czech Hydrometeorological Institute publishes data from its measuring stations as open data. Rainfall and temperature can be shown for a parcel and a suitable window for spraying or harvest flagged.
Satellite imagery and crop conditionSystem connection: Imagery from the Copernicus programme's Sentinel-2 satellites is freely available. From it, the condition of the crop on a field block can be shown and its development compared over time.
Maps and orthophotoSystem connection: Base maps and aerial imagery (for example the ČÚZK orthophoto) and route planning through a map interface. You see parcels and blocks in the context of their surroundings and machines take the shortest path.

Warehouse, sales and people

Stock, buyers, employees and seasonal work are linked to the farm plan.

Warehouses and stockIn ViaCRM: Seed, fertiliser, products, feed and diesel in your own warehouse with receipt, issue and minimum levels. Consumption is assigned to the field block and crop.
Sales and contracts with buyersIn ViaCRM: Contracts, purchases, prices, deliveries and weighbridge tickets by crop and buyer. Management sees what is sold, what is in stock and what is still expected.
Employees and seasonal workIn ViaCRM: Records of employees and seasonal workers, shifts, attendance, training and assignment to work. Seasonal peaks are planned in advance.

Economics and overview

Invoices and consumption are assigned to blocks and crops, and management sees the cost per hectare and the yield.

AI invoice extraction and cost per hectareIn ViaCRM: Invoices for seed, fertiliser, rent, diesel and service are read automatically and assigned to a crop or field block. The result is the cost per hectare and the margin.
Management dashboardIn ViaCRM: Costs and yields by crop and block, subsidy and lease deadlines, stock and work in progress on one screen.

VIA ELEMENT builds connections to external systems on top of the API. The actual scope depends on the interface the service offers and its provider's terms. We are happy to verify it with you up front.
