[QUOTE="farmerfrankie, post: 5872812, member: 72054"] Wish I knew, but sorry to say I still haven't found a suitable alternative. Stopped paying for Farmplan as their updates and "support" (which I have never used) aren't worth the annual licence fee - I can't believe my folks paid for it for so long when we basically got zero meaningful updates; don't think they realised we could use it without paying for the unnecessary support. After all, a monkey could use it. Admittedly a very patient monkey, considering how rubbish it can be. When I stopped paying, they started talking about an app they have in development (the lack of mobile functionality and ability to customise reports are my major bugbears); I stayed on for a few more months, but the app didn't materialise. Tried FarmFlo briefly as they seemed to be on track to have something for both cattle and agronomy, not sure if they have made much headway. Herdwatch was okay, but the UI on the computer was a bit rubbish and it didn't have any integration with other apps (FarmFlo, for example, seems to link to Xero). Perhaps things have improved since then - I must look - but at the time it wasn't good enough to make the switching hassle worth it. Think I'm looking for the white whale here, but would love some software that I can use on PC and mobile, has really customisable reporting (to the same extent that something like Salesforce does), integrates with other apps (Xero, Smaxtec ideally!) and doesn't cost the earth! EID integration would be good too. I have 20+ years of historical data on Farmplan (and nowhere seems to be able to offer a data transfer service) so I'm going to keep plodding along with Farmplan (and its angry messages about the fact the activation key has expired) until something worth changing for comes along. Would love to know if anyone has any other recommendations! [/QUOTE]
