An app for agribusiness: field, machinery and warehouse data on every employee's phone.
In agri, an app is more often needed by your own team than by customers: the agronomist, machine operator, storekeeper and weighbridge operator. It works without a signal in the field, saves photos with coordinates and syncs as soon as the network appears. For farm suppliers we also build a customer ordering app for regular clients and dealers.
On a farm of several thousand hectares, data is born in the field: the agronomist sees emergence and pests, the operator refuels and completes the daily norm, the weighbridge operator receives trucks with grain. While all this is written on paper and retold over the phone, the owner sees the picture days late, and fuel and tonnes cannot be reconciled.
An app for employees closes this gap: field inspections with photos and a GPS point, logging operations and fuel use, warehouse receiving, shifts and output. The key requirement is offline mode: there is no signal everywhere in the field, so data is stored on the phone and sent to the server at the first opportunity.
The second scenario is a supplier's customer app: a farmer repeats an order for seeds, fertilisers or parts and sees their prices, balance and delivery status. We build natively (Swift, Kotlin) or with Flutter — the choice depends on the scenarios and budget — with our own backend and admin panel.
What an agricultural company app must include.
The agronomist records growth stage, pests, diseases and weeds, takes photos with coordinates tied to the field; everything is saved without a signal and synced later.
Field boundaries, crops and rotation, operation history for every field; satellite imagery layers from external services if you use them.
A digital waybill: which machine, which field, which operation, how much fuel; reconciled with GPS tracking data.
Receiving and shipping grain, seeds, fertilisers and feed with weight and moisture, photos of delivery notes, real-time stock by warehouse.
Attendance of seasonal workers and operators, output in hectares or tonnes, piece-rate pay calculated by the farm's rules.
The agronomist assigns tasks to crews, the manager approves requests for parts and fuel — with photos and comments, no phone calls.
For suppliers: a catalogue with personal prices, repeat of a previous order, balance and Kaspi payments, delivery status, push notifications when stock arrives.
Interface in Kazakh and Russian for field staff, a web admin panel and reports for management and accounting.
App screens.
- Sign-in by phone number and role: agronomist, operator, storekeeper
- Home: today's tasks and notifications
- Field map and field card
- New inspection: photos, GPS, notes
- Waybill and refuelling
- Warehouse: receiving, shipping, stock
- Shifts and output
- Orders and payments (customer app)
- Profile, language, sync status
Honestly: when an app is premature.
For a farm of up to 1,000–2,000 hectares with one agronomist and a couple of warehouses, a dedicated app usually will not pay off. Tracking tasks are covered by 1C, a spreadsheet with clear rules and CRM with automation — for 15–25 % of the app's cost.
An app is justified when there are dozens of people in the field, more than 20–30 machines, several warehouses, and losses on fuel, output and receiving are already visible in money. A middle option is a PWA: it runs in the phone's browser, supports offline caching, needs no store publishing and starts at ₸1,200,000.
How we build it and how long it takes.
- Site visit and interviews — 1–2 weeks: how data currently flows from the field, warehouse and machinery, which reports management and accounting need.
- Prototype of key screens — tested with an agronomist and an operator: large buttons, readability in sunlight, minimal typing.
- Development — 8–14 weeks: app, backend, offline sync, admin panel, integration with 1C and GPS tracking.
- Pilot on one division — off-season or at the start of the season, adjustments based on real work.
- Rollout to the whole farm and support during the season, when the load is highest.
What affects the app price.
An employee app for iOS and Android with offline mode, backend and admin panel — from ₸2,500,000, from 8 weeks. A PWA with basic features — from ₸1,200,000. A customer ordering app for a supplier — from ₸2,500,000, often on the same backend as the website with an account area.
The price goes up with: the number of roles and scenarios, complex offline sync, integration with 1C and GPS tracking, a field map with layers, piece-rate pay calculation, a bilingual interface. Native (Swift, Kotlin) or Flutter — we decide after the prototype. Base terms are on the mobile apps page.
The short version.
How much does an app for agribusiness cost?
From ₸2,500,000 for iOS and Android with a backend and admin panel, from 8 weeks; a PWA from ₸1,200,000. We give an exact estimate after interviews and a prototype of the key screens.
Will the app work without internet in the field?
Yes, we design offline mode from the start: inspections, waybills and receiving are saved on the phone and sent to the server when a signal appears. We agree the rules for resolving sync conflicts with you.
Native or Flutter?
We do both. Native (Swift, Kotlin) when the camera, background GPS and stability on older phones matter; Flutter when you need one app for two platforms faster and cheaper.
Can the app connect to 1C and machinery GPS trackers?
Yes, if the system has an API or data export: stock and documents from 1C, tracks and fuel sensors from GPS tracking. Then refuelling and output can be reconciled with the actual movement of machinery.
Can we start with one division?
Yes, and we recommend it: a pilot on one division or warehouse at the start of the season, adjustments based on real work, then rollout to the whole farm.
