Innovative Solutions for Agriculture Consulting

Revolutionizing Crop Consulting

Fowler Crop Consulting's success with MapItFast and Strider Forms

Fowler Crop Consulting located in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, manages thousands of crop acres in North Carolina and Virginia. In 2017, the company determined that they needed to digitize their data collection operations using agricultural data management software to streamline workflows for their team of over 20 agronomists and scouts. Operating in remote locations across a large geographic area, they required a solution that was quick to deploy, affordable, easy to use, and designed for professional use.

The primary challenge was to find a digital solution that could be easily adopted by the team while ensuring data accuracy and efficiency. The solution needed to support field operations without disrupting the workflow.

After evaluating multiple options, Fowler Crop Consulting chose MapItFast with Strider Forms. This tool allowed the agricultural staff to map activities and electronically fill forms from their Android or Apple devices while working in the field. All data entered in the app is automatically synced to their private and secure cloud account, ensuring data is only entered once.

"The flexibility of a general mapping and data collection system like MapItFast with Strider Forms means there is no limit to the business challenges that can be solved."

The implementation of MapItFast and Strider Forms has transformed Fowler Crop Consulting's approach to data collection and management. The ease of use, efficiency, and improved collaboration have made these tools essential for their operations, allowing them to maintain their competitive advantage and stay ahead of the curve.

Fowler Crop Consulting plans to incorporate weekly route planning into their operations using MapItFast. This will eliminate the need for tedious and time-consuming planning and emailing schedules for each scout.
