A farm accounting software focusing on payroll, cost accounting, and financial management.
The Farmer’s Office, developed by Datatech, represents the latest evolution in farm accounting software, integrating a user-friendly Windows-based interface with advanced functionalities in payroll, cost accounting, and bookkeeping tailored for agricultural businesses. This solution is supported by comprehensive customer service, including toll-free support, regular software updates, and both in-house and on-site training options, with the latter available for an extra fee.
Designed to cater to both small and large-scale farming operations, The Farmer’s Office is equipped to handle a variety of agricultural bookkeeping needs, from simple check writing for vendors and employees to complex cost accounting for detailed financial management. Its unique selling point lies in its farm-specific functionalities, such as cost center-based accounting, which allows for precise tracking of profitability across different farm operations.
The software also offers the flexibility to add an Accounts Receivable module, enhancing its utility for businesses that need to issue invoices and manage customer payments. It supports detailed invoice management, including customization of invoice formats, batch processing, and comprehensive customer account management.
For farms focusing on meticulous financial oversight, The Farmer’s Office provides in-depth cost accounting capabilities, enabling users to establish cost centers for detailed expense tracking and profitability analysis. This feature is particularly valuable for making informed management decisions based on accurate financial data.
Moreover, the equipment costing feature is designed to help farmers assess the financial viability of their farm equipment, providing insights into maintenance costs versus the potential need for new investments. This, along with its general ledger integration, ensures a cohesive financial management system that fosters confidence in data accuracy.
One feature of Farmer’s that I just discovered that I love a lot is the Acreage Split. Sometimes we have invoices that have to be broken down through all our ranches, and Farmer’s has the capability where you can input your breakdown and it saves them. Instead of having to manually reenter everything, you right click on acreage split, select the one you want, enter your activity, and it breaks it all down for you, which is a huge time saver.
We were at a fork in the road where we were beginning to grow and had issues with clashing software and instability. We decided to give Datatech a try and it was one of the best business decisions we ever made.
It really gave us the backbone software-wise to grow and not inhibit ourselves by using inferior software.
It’s a complete solution and well thought out in many areas.
We started with Datatech in 1984 because they had developed this fabulous customized software for the raisin industry. In addition to that, it had accounts payable accounts receivable general ledger, and it is all working very easily with our company. We utilize all of it.
It’s very user friendly to quote an old quote. The service makes our lives much easier as well. They have excellent customer service.
I love it. It does everything. I have the human resources, the payroll,. the accounts payable. The program is easy. The grower reports are essential. The growers are happy and I’m happy because they’re not bothering me.
