About this app
With a glance at the smartphone you have all machine communities in your company at a glance! Which machines are currently in use where? Can I get the machine in the evening for short-term use tomorrow? Where is the machine actually at the moment? Is it currently greased and serviced?The newly developed app Maschinenplaner from the Austrian-German startup smarterhof clarifies these and more questions.
The free app covers the increased demand for transparency in a machine community and flexibility in use and bookings.
No matter whether at 5:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. You can book your reservations at any time and you don't have to worry about the availability of the machine attendant.
The companies can create and manage all their machine communities with various other companies. Several users per farm, e.g .: father and son, manager and tractor driver, etc. can have access and be included in the "machine community group".
The developer duo Christian Karrer from Lower Austria (AT) (himself a farmer and member of 12 community machines, long-time agricultural technology sales manager and now teacher at an agricultural school) and Frederic Schmaljohann from Hamburg (DE) (studied IT software developer with a great affinity for agriculture) developed it for their own use and would now like to make it available to other, progressive farms.
"The app brings the desired great benefits for all company sizes and makes sense from the very first shared machine, regardless of whether it is a round baler, a logging trailer, a Cambridge roller or just a moisture measuring device," the Karrer / Schmaljohann duo is convinced. "We want to develop the app further and include other features such as hourly recording, cash book, and the like. integrate! ”The service tool is now ready, where maintenance or damage can be entered, and can also be documented with a photo.
