In this Croptracker Use Case article we will be highlighting our bucket and bin tracking harvest workflows that allow for both detailed employee productivity tracking, and large harvest container inventory tracking using the Punch Clock/Production Practice and Harvest modules. In previous use case articles we have talked about how Croptracker can help quickly and accurately link field packed pieces to pickers. This workflow works to provide harvest inventory traceability at a larger, manageable, level for shipping, storage and packing teams, while ensuring labor efficiency and costs can be tracked accurately to the picker.
