Core record
Intake, lots, placement, movements, shipments and period reporting. Manual entry and Excel. Any farm can start here this week, with no hardware at all.
In productionIn production Two seasons · 41,000 tons recorded
The operational record for your harvest.
Intake, lot placement, quality, storage and shipment in one system of record — so every number can be traced back to the lot, movement and source behind it. Start with software alone, then connect the weighbridge and the grading line as you grow.
Software first — no hardware needed to start
41,000 tRecorded across two seasons
24,000+ tAnnual volume at the first enterprise

The problem
Post-harvest data lives in four places at once.
The weighbridge has the weight. The storekeeper has the placement. The lab has the sample. The invoice has the price. Nobody has all four.
The balance is an opinion
Three sources, three answers, one number that goes to the buyer. Reconciling them is a weekend job.
Lots disappear into the warehouse
A buyer asks about the October delivery. Finding what is left of it takes three phone calls.
Quality never reaches the invoice
Size data sits in one file, the shipment in another. Proving a spec means rebuilding the link from memory.
The record
One lot, five moments, one source of truth.
Every question an owner asks during the season maps to a screen — and every screen writes to the same ledger.

- Type it in, or upload the weighbridge sheet — columns map themselves.
- Field and variety are optional. A lot is valid before you know everything about it.
- Every record keeps its author and timestamp, and cannot be silently rewritten.

- Placed and unplaced mass are tracked apart, so a half-finished day still adds up.
- Capacity is enforced on placement — an overfill is refused, not absorbed.
- Concurrent placements and shipments are serialised, so the same mass is never spent twice.

- Seven size bands in millimetres, attached to the lot and the period.
- Manual samples and camera measurements share one view, each labelled with its method.
- Vision reports the share of items it measures on the line — the figure is shown as measured coverage, never implied as total mass.

- The balance is not a stored counter — it is rebuilt from the movements on this screen.
- Shrinkage notes, write-offs and observations stay separate, so an estimate never reads as a fact.
- A visual chamber map shows occupancy per storage, drawn from real placements.

- Partial shipments draw from the oldest placement first and the lot keeps its remainder.
- A missing price is stored as unknown, never counted as zero revenue.
- Period reporting totals intake, shipments and balance, and exports to xlsx.
How it scales
Start with the record. Grow into the operation.
Four stages on one data layer. Each is a commercial decision of its own, and each one is worth more because the stage beneath it already holds the truth.
Connected operations
The weighbridge feeds the record directly. Fewer keystrokes at the gate, a faster close of day, and one less place for the numbers to drift apart.
In productionVision
Cameras on the grading line measure size composition continuously and tie it to the lot and the period — the quality data stops being a once-a-week sample.
In production · two seasonsStorage intelligence
Chamber conditions read alongside the movement history for the same room, so a loss has a cause and not just a date.
In developmentEach stage is quoted on its own, so a farm stops wherever the value stops — and nothing has to be re-entered when it decides to go further. The record you build in week one is the record the cameras write into two seasons later.
Proof
Two seasons in commercial operation.
Not a pilot, not a prototype. A working enterprise ran its harvest through HarvestLider and came back for the next one.
41,000 tRecorded through the system across two seasons
24,000+ tThe enterprise's annual volume
RenewedSeason 2Came back for a second season
A commercial potato enterprise in Central Asia — 24,000+ tons a year, and a supplier to Lay's — recorded 41,000 tons through HarvestLider across two seasons, with cameras measuring size on its grading line, and renewed after the first.
41,000 t is volume recorded through the system; Vision measures the share of items passing the camera, not every item in that volume. The enterprise supplies Lay's under its own contracts — HarvestLider has no commercial relationship with Lay's or PepsiCo.
Rollout
One site, one season, one number you can trust.
We do not sell a platform migration. We start where the balance hurts and expand once it holds.
Map the process
Where weight is captured, who places the lot, how the balance reaches the buyer today.
Agree the scope
Written down before anything is installed: what is included, what is extra, what success looks like.
Run a season in parallel
Your numbers and ours, side by side, until both agree the record is the one you would report.
Expand
The next storage, the next line, the next season — on the same record, with nothing re-entered.
Pricing
Priced by stage, not by seat.
Priced around your operation, not individual seats. You pay for the stages you switch on, per farm and per season.

FAQ
Questions farms ask first
No. Core runs entirely on manual entry and Excel import — intake, lots, chambers, movements, shipments and reporting. Hardware is a later stage, and a separate decision.
Core is software — a farm, its storages and its first intake go in the same week. Connected and Vision follow a site check, because the answer depends on your equipment rather than on our calendar.
We validate compatibility against your specific setup before quoting a connection, and we will tell you if it is not worth it. Until then, the same data goes in through Excel import without losing anything downstream.
It measures what passes the camera on the line, and reports that as measured coverage — a share of items by size band, not a share of mass and not a certified grade. We show the coverage figure on screen so the number is always read for what it is.
The unit on the line keeps writing to a durable local buffer and replays it when the link returns, without duplicating readings — which matters in a shed on a satellite connection. The web interface itself works online.
Every request is authorised against your membership on the server, and a farm reads only the data sources explicitly connected to it. Cross-farm access is covered by automated tests that expect it to fail, and they run on every change.
The software and its updates for the stages you switch on, priced around the operation rather than per seat. Hardware, installation and non-standard integrations are separate lines on the quote, never folded into the subscription.
