CASE 1 – OPTIMIZATION AND SAVINGS

From paper records to daily digitalization that transformed field management

Thanks to Kiosk, Bacalhôa gained speed, clarity, and confidence in its data, turning a repetitive task into an intuitive and efficient process.

PROBLEM

The Challenge

Before Wisecrop, Bacalhôa faced some obstacles:

Manual paper records slowed down the whole process

Supervisors filled in task sheets that were only reviewed at the end of the month.

Managers depended on others to access data

Information had to pass through administrative staff before reaching management.

Technological integration was practically non-existent

Operations, labor, and machinery were disconnected from one another.
With Wisecrop we moved from paper to digital. Employees log tasks directly on the tablet, and on the very same day we already have all the information available for analysis. This gave us speed and clarity in management.

 Many thought certain employees wouldn't be able to use the tablet. Quite the opposite: they were the first to adopt it and even suggested improvements. Wisecrop's simplicity made all the difference.

CASE 2 – OPTIMIZATION AND SAVINGS

From uncertainty in the field to efficiency measured row by rowa

Bacalhôa turned every mechanized operation into useful data for savings, decision-making, and profitability.

PROBLEM

The Challenge

Before Wisecrop, Bacalhôa faced obstacles in managing mechanized operations.

Risk of duplication or gaps in work rows

Difficulty confirming whether an area had been fully worked or whether there was overlap.

Unable to calculate real costs per hectare

Lack of integrated data on fuel, operating time, and fleet usage.

No georeferencing of operations

It wasn't possible to track tractor routes or measure operational efficiency.

We're in the process of implementing automatic operation logging, plot georeferencing, and work-time tracking. I think it's a very interesting tool to be able to try out.
