Introduction to Farmable
Farmable is an innovative app designed to revolutionize farm management. Created by farmers for farmers, Farmable allows you to manage all your farm operations directly from your mobile device. The platform enables you to record and monitor daily activities, coordinate and manage your team, add machinery, and manage crop treatments all in one place. With Farmable, your farm’s efficiency and productivity are at your fingertips.
What Sets Farmable Apart from Other Farm Management Apps?
Farmable was developed by one of the leading farmers in Norway specifically to meet the need for managing all daily field operations using a single platform. The app was created by fruit producers who realized that the market lacked an app capable of helping farmers manage everything from mobile like: taking notes directly in the fields, tracking spraying jobs, recording harvests, and integrating many other tools. Our goal from the beginning has been to develop a simple and intuitive tool that could meet the needs of all farms.
