You go live in about 2–4 weeks, with a post-launch support window.
Most agribusinesses run Business Central for finance and inventory but then track field costs, herd records and harvest yields in spreadsheets that never reconcile to the general ledger. Agriculture & Farm Management for Business Central closes that gap with a custom AL extension that models your farm operation natively inside Business Central.
This is a build-to-order extension, not an instant AppSource download. ECOSIRE scopes your operation (crops, livestock, plots, seasons), builds the AL extension to fit it, installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central Online or on-premises environment, and supports it afterward. Typical delivery is a few weeks, depending on scope.
The extension adds new tables and table/page extensions for fields, plots and crop cycles, with field-level cost capture that posts to dedicated Dimensions and season-based cost centers — so every seed, fertilizer and labor entry rolls up against the right plot and the GL at the same time. Livestock and herd records track animals, breeding, health events and feed consumption. Farm inputs (seed, feed, chemicals) live in standard Item/Item Ledger so you keep real Business Central inventory valuation, lot tracking and expiry.
Harvest output is captured as lot/batch-tracked items, giving you field-to-bin traceability — trace any harvested lot back to its plot, inputs and season. Event subscribers keep posting consistent with native sales, purchase and inventory flows; the Job Queue runs season roll-ups; permission sets scope farm roles; and the BC REST/OData API plus optional Dataverse/Power Platform integration expose the data to Power BI and field-data apps. You own the source and the extension; ECOSIRE maintains it across Business Central updates.
Owns the P&L for the agribusiness and needs field and herd costs to reconcile to the Business Central GL instead of living in spreadsheets, with real cost-per-hectare and cost-per-head visibility per season.
Plans crop cycles and livestock operations and wants plot-level input usage, harvest yields and herd health tracked in one system that field staff can update from mobile.
Responsible for the tenant and wants farm functionality delivered as a clean, supportable per-tenant AL extension with proper permission sets and API access — not unmanaged customizations that break on the next update.

No. This is a build-to-order extension. ECOSIRE scopes your operation, builds the AL extension to fit your crops, livestock and seasons, then installs it as a per-tenant extension on your Business Central environment. It is not a one-click AppSource app.
Typical delivery is a few weeks from kickoff, depending on scope — the number of crop and livestock types, your costing and dimension model, and any Power Platform or Power BI integration. After scoping we give you a firm timeline before any build work starts.
ECOSIRE supports the extension after go-live and maintains it across Business Central monthly and major releases, so your farm functionality keeps working when Microsoft updates the platform. Support covers bug fixes, compatibility updates and small enhancements under an agreed plan; larger new features are scoped separately.
Yes. Inputs are modeled on standard Item and Item Ledger Entry, and field/herd costs post through Dimensions and season-based cost centers. That means valuation, inventory and cost roll-ups use native Business Central posting and reconcile to the GL — not a side spreadsheet.
You own the full AL source we hand over. The extension exposes plots, crops, herds and harvest lots via the Business Central REST/OData API, and we can add Dataverse / Power Platform integration so Power BI dashboards and Power Apps mobile field-entry apps read and write the same data.
