Viticulture & Horticulture

Andrew Naylor, SI Viticulture Manager, Pernod Ricard (Montana Wines)

"Paid for itself in less than a year."

"Reduces risk of missing rows or double applications when spraying. Also being able to resume later and finish partially completed rows is of huge value."

"A main benefit has been increased knowledge on harvester operational efficiency. We can monitor where time is lost, and make changes to improve planning and increase productivity during harvest."

Peter King, Wairarapa Spraying Contractor

"The system is absolutely great, and the way of the future."

"This makes auditing of chemical applications real easy. It is now simple to provide clients with a record of product applications to their blocks."

"I like the way I can mark rows which I can’t drive out the other end of. Makes life a lot less stressful."
