Besides the people that help you run your operation, your equipment and machines are likely the most important resource on your farm. They assist with tasks and make tough jobs easier, allowing you to work faster and smarter which leads to increased production. Since they provide such a benefit, it pays to keep them maintained so that they continue to provide that help. You don't want to end up missing your harvest window due to broken machinery! Farmbrite helps you keep records of all your equipment to assist in avoiding that situation; you'll easily be able to track the hours on a machine, its' last service, and even how much the equipment is costing you to operate. You can also set reminders and appointments for your equipment on your calendar, and store pictures and important documents. You now have a single source of truth for your equipment - no more wondering the last time you replaced the fan belt, and then searching for that sticky note you shoved in the top drawer of your tool box 2 years ago. The information you need is all here at your fingertips - even on your mobile device when you're out in the barn working.

A warehouse is a place where you store your inventory items. This might be shed, barn, silo, tank, refrigerated storage, closet within a building, or even a storage facility off your property like a grain elevator. Warehouses can also be optionally subdivided into bins, which allow you to be more granular with your inventory storage. You might keep your fertilizer in your barn, but knowing what section of the barn it's in may help you - and your farm workers - find it faster. You'll be able to track the capacity of the warehouse and bins as well. You can also set up filters on your warehouses to define what inventory items can be stored there.
Keeping track of the property and goods you have in stock at your farm or ranch is extremely important; it pays to know where things are, and how many of each item you have on site. You'll likely need to track a variety of things - grain, hay, vegetables or herbs you've grown, seeds, fertilizer, medicine for your livestock, and much more. Farmbrite's inventory system is customizable and adaptable to account for nearly anything you'd like to keep track of. Inventory works hand in hand with your warehouses and bins. You'll want to set those up first before you start adding inventory items, as they need to a place to be stored. You can connect your inventory to your Market products to keep their quantities synced, or maintain separate "for sale" and "for farm use" inventory as well. You'll even get notifications when you are running low! Check out the articles below to learn more.
