We are building an open source farm management platform called OpenFarm. The platform will be free to use and the source code will be available under the GNU General Public License.
We are initially developing a platform with features for arable and livestock management and plan to add features in the future for precision agriculture. We also plan on developing products to create a 'connected farm' from low cost computer hardware such as Raspberry Pi. This will enable sensors and other IoT devices to provide inputs to the platform.
The platform can either be cloud hosted or run on premise and you will have complete control of your own data. Data will be encrypted, both in transit and at rest. Installation will operate in a similar way to setting up a Wordpress website for example. The cloud hosted option will be very simple, you just create an account. If you wish to host it on premise there will be some basic installation steps to follow.
We have looked at existing products on the market and have planned an initial feature set. If there are any features anyone would particularly like to see implemented please let me know. We will create integration with Xero. We would welcome suggestions for features required for harvest and also reports that the platform can provide.
Thanks,
Simon
