What is Agriculture & Farm Management?

A build-to-order ERPNext app for commercial farms and agribusiness that turns crop cycles, land plots, input usage, and harvest yields into structured DocTypes and traceable records. ECOSIRE scopes, builds, installs, and supports it — it is not an instant download. Built to order by ECOSIRE for ERPNext v15, v16 — indicative price from $999.00 USD; request a quote for a scoped proposal.

Key Features

`Crop Cycle` DocType tracking crop, plot, planting date, growth stage, and expected/actual harvest dates with a submittable workflow
`Land Plot` and `Soil Analysis` DocTypes holding area, location/geo reference, and dated soil test results (pH, N-P-K, organic matter)
`Input Application` records that link seed/fertilizer/pesticide usage to a real ERPNext `Stock Entry` so inventory draws down against the plot and cycle
`hooks.py` doc-event validation (`validate`/`on_submit`) enforcing agronomic rules — no input dated before planting, no harvest on an unsubmitted cycle
`Harvest Record` producing a `Batch`-linked produce lot with computed yield per plot and per hectare
Lot-to-plot produce traceability: a harvested batch traces back through applied inputs to source purchase and plot
`Field Observation` DocType for disease, pest, and scouting logs tied to plot, cycle, and date
`Weather Log` DocType plus an optional daily `scheduler_events` job to ingest a weather feed and flag risk windows
Whitelisted server methods (`@frappe.whitelist()`) exposing yield-per-hectare and input-cost-per-cycle to dashboards and the Frappe REST API
Client scripts for plot/crop-aware form defaults, expected-harvest-date calculation, and field validation
Role profiles and permission rules (Farm Manager, Agronomist, Field Officer) with plot-scoped access via user permissions
Frappe workspace, list views, report builder views, and number-card dashboards for planted area, active cycles, and yield trends
Scheduler job flagging crop cycles due for harvest and cycles overdue for a scheduled input application
Full Frappe REST API surface on every DocType for integration with a field-data-collection app or IoT/sensor feed
Built for Frappe/ERPNext v15 and forward-compatible with v16

About this Product

Most farms and agribusinesses run the field in spreadsheets and the office in ERPNext, and the two never reconcile. You know what you bought (seed, fertilizer, pesticide) because it flows through Stock and Purchase, but you cannot answer which plot it went on, on what crop-cycle date, or what yield that plot returned per hectare. ERPNext core ships Stock, Buying, Selling, and an optional erpnext_agriculture-style layer that was deprecated and never covered plot-level agronomy, spray/weather logs, or lot-to-plot produce traceability. Native custom fields and a few extra Item Groups get you part way, then run out of road the moment you need a planting schedule that spans seasons, disease incidents tied to a location, or a batch of harvested produce that traces back to the exact inputs applied.

ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe app — a versioned module with its own DocTypes — that models your actual agricultural operation on top of ERPNext instead of bolting fields onto Stock Entry. Typical DocTypes include Land Plot (area, geo/soil linkage), Soil Analysis, Crop Cycle (crop, plot, planting and expected-harvest dates, stage), Input Application (links the plot and cycle to the real ERPNext Stock Entry/Item consumed, so seed/fertilizer/pesticide draw down actual inventory), Field Observation for disease and pest logging, Weather Log, and Harvest Record that produces a traceable Batch-linked lot rolled up to yield per plot and per hectare. Because these are first-class DocTypes, you get list views, reports, dashboards, the workspace, and the Frappe REST API for free.

The logic lives where it belongs. hooks.py doc events (validate, on_submit, after_insert) enforce agronomic rules — no input application dated before its crop cycle's planting date, no harvest without a submitted cycle — and post the inventory movements. Whitelisted server methods (@frappe.whitelist()) expose calculations such as yield-per-hectare and input cost per crop cycle to dashboards and to any external field app over the REST API. Scheduler events (scheduler_events in hooks.py) run daily jobs like flagging cycles due for harvest or pulling a weather feed. Client scripts drive plot/crop-aware form behavior, and role profiles plus permission rules (Agronomist, Farm Manager, Field Officer) keep field staff scoped to their own plots while management sees the whole estate. The app is built for Frappe/ERPNext v15 and forward-compatible with v16.

This is a build-to-order product, not a marketplace download. You start with a short scoping call; we confirm the crops, plots, input categories, and reports that matter to your operation, then quote a fixed scope. Delivery is typically one working week from confirmed scope. We build on a staging bench, run UAT with your team, install into your ERPNext site (Frappe Cloud, self-hosted, or ECOSIRE-managed), hand over the git repository and installable source, and support you through go-live. You own the code.

What you get

  • Installable source code for your version of the app (a versioned Frappe app, pinned to your ERPNext v15/v16)
  • Installation and configuration on your ERPNext site (Frappe Cloud, self-hosted, or ECOSIRE-managed)
  • Technical documentation: DocType schema, doc events, whitelisted methods, scheduler events, and permission model
  • End-user guide plus a live training session for your farm and office staff
  • UAT on a staging bench with a documented rollback plan before production install
  • Post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration adjustments
  • Git repository handover with full commit history and README
  • Role profile and permission configuration mapped to your Farm Manager / Agronomist / Field Officer structure

Who this is for

Commercial farm operations manager

Runs multiple plots and crop cycles across a season and needs one system where planting schedules, input usage, and yield per hectare live next to ERPNext Stock and Buying — not in disconnected spreadsheets.

Agribusiness cooperative administrator

Coordinates many member growers and plots, needs plot-scoped permissions so field officers only see their own records, and needs aggregate reporting on planted area, inputs distributed, and produce collected.

Agri-input company account manager

Tracks how supplied seed, fertilizer, and pesticide are applied on customer plots and the resulting yields, wanting input-to-outcome traceability that ties back to ERPNext sales and batch records.

Agronomist / quality lead

Logs soil analyses, disease and pest observations, and weather against specific plots and cycles, and needs harvested lots that trace back through applied inputs for produce compliance and traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Agriculture & Farm Management

How long does delivery take?

This is build-to-order, so there is no instant download. After a scoping call to confirm crops, plots, input categories, and reports, we quote a fixed scope and typically deliver in one working week from confirmed scope. More complex integrations (weather feeds, external field apps, IoT sensors) can extend that, and we tell you upfront.

Is this an existing Frappe Marketplace app I can just install?

No. ECOSIRE builds, installs, and supports this specifically for your operation. You receive installable source code for your version plus the git repository — you own the code — rather than a locked marketplace listing.

Which ERPNext versions does it support?

It is built for Frappe/ERPNext v15 and is forward-compatible with v16. We pin the app to your exact site version, build and test on a matching staging bench, and confirm your version during scoping.

How does it connect to our existing ERPNext Stock and Buying?

Input applications post real ERPNext `Stock Entry` movements against the items you already purchase, so seed, fertilizer, and pesticide draw down actual inventory. Harvested produce becomes batch-linked stock. Nothing is duplicated — the agronomy layer sits on top of your existing Stock, Buying, and Selling.

What about support and updates after go-live?

Every build includes a post-go-live support window for defect fixes and configuration tweaks. Because you hold the git repository and source, you can extend it yourself or engage ECOSIRE for a support/retainer arrangement, including compatibility work when you upgrade ERPNext versions.

Can field staff be restricted to only their own plots?

Yes. We ship role profiles (Farm Manager, Agronomist, Field Officer) and use Frappe permission rules and user permissions so field officers only see the plots and cycles assigned to them, while management sees the whole estate.

Can we integrate a mobile field-data or sensor feed later?

Yes. Every DocType is exposed over the Frappe REST API, and we add whitelisted server methods for the calculations you need, so a field-collection app, weather service, or IoT/sensor feed can read and write records without custom plumbing.
