Customer Testing

Hi all,

I'm looking for some willing participants for customer testing. I'm new to the agriculture sector but no stranger to business management, process, administration and finance. I'm a QBE Accountant with a 25 year background in Management Accounting, Finance & Business Analysis, Global Supply Chain and Software Development. oh, I also volunteer on a farm in Suffolk.

In truth, I'm too old and too poor to buy my own farm, so the next best thing for me as I see it is to get involved with established farms across the UK and provide my services and skills to unburden the farms daily admin.

Some of the activities I'm looking at are :
  • Sales recording, invoicing and debtor collection
  • Purchasing, including purchase planning, invoice control, supplier payments
  • Livestock reporting, i.e. updating services such as AHDB
  • Product sourcing, so looking for something that is outside of your normal purchases.
  • Estate mapping, so taking a walk around your land using an app to map boundaries, buildings and fixtures and then drafting up maintenance plans etc
  • Work allocation, using latest apps, help with resource planning.
I think that's a good start, but what I'm really asking is.... is there a need for this type of service ?
Is there something not on the above list that you could really do with some support with ?

Happy to receive any and all criticism..

Thanks in advance,
Stewart
