AcreFrame

Design partners

Pilots for farm teams who execute input-heavy field work.

Design partner pilots are structured engagements with real operating teams. We map your execution loop, build the queue logic, and ship operating packets back to the field. No data extraction without deliverable output.

Good fit

  • You plan in spreadsheets, but execution still happens in phone calls
  • You run 20+ planned field tasks per week during season
  • You care about weather windows, not weather forecasts
  • You have field-level cost data you want tied to executed work
  • You need an operating record, not another dashboard
  • You assign work to operators and want clearer packets
  • You want to reduce time coordinating across systems
  • You review work before it goes to the field and want audit trails

Not a fit (yet)

  • You need fully autonomous spray or fertility decisions
  • You do not have a designated operator or field manager
  • You want a fully generic task app with no ag-specific logic
  • You expect guaranteed savings before a pilot is run
  • You need deep ERP/accounting system integration out of the box
  • Your operation has fewer than 3 planned field tasks per week
  • You want immediate compliance documentation without human review
  • You need hardware beyond tablets and standard machines

What you get in the first 20 minutes

A clear explanation of how the execution queue maps to your operating loop
Honest assessment of whether your operation is a good fit right now
Preview of what an operator packet would look like for your field and crop
No sales script. No autoresponder. No data extraction without output.

What we need before a pilot

Real operating data from your field season (not live API access) to understand your execution loop
A designated point of contact who understands both field execution and planning workflows
Timely feedback on operating packet formats, field notes, and approval gates
Clear cost inputs so we can build variance signals tied to your farm economics

What we will deliver

Mapped execution loop for your specific operation
Operating queue logic configured to your constraints
Operator packets with field context, weather gates, and input specs
Source-linked record packets with cost variance signals
Weekly iteration based on field feedback
Outcome review with measurement checklist and next-cycle recommendations

What we will not do

Extract your data without shipping operating output back to you
Make agronomic, regulatory, or safety decisions on your behalf
Sell or share your farm data with third parties
Charge for the pilot phase

How pilots work

1

Map the current operating loop — where plans, weather, labor, equipment, inputs, and records collide.

2

Configure sample fields and tasks in AcreFrame.

3

Build a next-7-day execution queue with real operational data.

4

Produce work-order previews the operator would actually use.

5

Produce record-packet previews with source artifacts attached.

6

Identify missed windows, waste points, and coordination gaps.

7

Measure planning time, accepted recommendations, record completeness, input variance, and preventable repeat work.

Pilot packages

No charge during pilot phase; pricing discussed after pilot completion.

Discovery

Map your execution loop

Scope: Single field or zone

Deliverable: Execution map + initial operating queue logic

Timeline: 2–3 weeks

Proof of Coordination

Run a full cycle

Scope: One crop type or block

Deliverable: Work packets, source artifacts, and record packets for one operating cycle

Timeline: 4–6 weeks

Multi-Block Coordination

Scale across operations

Scope: Multiple blocks or field managers

Deliverable: Operating queues, variance signals, and cost-linked record review

Timeline: 6–10 weeks

Custom

Specific operating challenge

Scope: Custom applicator, retail, or specialty operation

Deliverable: Custom queue logic and integration assessment

Timeline: Discuss

Pilot measurements

Pilots are measured against operational outcomes, not vanity metrics.

01Planning time from signal to executable packet
02Blocked tasks detected before dispatch
03Accepted queue recommendations
04Work-order clarity rating
05Record completeness vs. current process
06Input variance visibility
07Repeat work avoided
08Missed-window events flagged
09Operator handoff clarity
10Time from plan to executable packet
11Work completed with source-linked packet

Sample pilot report preview

What a completed pilot deliverable looks like.

AcreFrame Pilot Report

Sample preview. Not live customer data.

Baseline loop

Plan created in spreadsheet. Weather checked via phone app. Crew texted at 06:00. Input inventory verified at shop. Records rebuilt from photos at end of day.

Friction points

  • Weather window missed 3× due to late notification
  • Input lot not verified before dispatch 2×
  • Operator packet missing boundary reference 1×
  • Record incomplete at end of shift 4×

Queue logic configured

Weather gate: wind < 15 mph, gust < 20 mph, rain < 10%, inversion low. Approval required for all crop protection. Input pull list generated 1 day before dispatch.

Packet examples delivered

Work packets for 12 tasks. Record packets for 9 completed tasks. Source artifact trails for 8 tasks. Variance panels for 6 tasks with cost data.

Measurement checklist

Coordination time: baseline setPacket completeness: 75% → 92%Weather-block detection: 6 flagsRecord completeness: 44% → 89%Source linkage: 33% → 78%Cost visibility: 4 tasks cross-referenced

Next-cycle recommendations

Add equipment telematics ingestion. Expand queue to fertility tasks. Integrate scouting signal auto-intake. Review approval gate thresholds with licensed applicator.
