Farm scouting software for field teams

Q: What does a field scout record?

A scout records observations against a specific field or inspection task, together with the relevant field context. The team then reviews the observation and assigns follow-up work.

Q: Does scouting include satellite imagery?

Yes. Field teams use satellite imagery and vegetation indices alongside observations and field history. Imagery helps prioritize inspections, while the scout records what is actually happening on the ground.

Q: Does farm scouting software replace the agronomist?

No. Planva organizes evidence, tasks, and field records so the agronomist spends less time collecting context and more time deciding what needs attention.

Q: How is farm scouting software priced?

Planva is sold per hectare in rubles with a named agronomist included. The quote depends on the farm area and the agreed operating scope.

Farm scouting software helps agronomists record field observations, assign inspections, and review field history even when mobile coverage drops. Planva puts field boundaries, satellite imagery, weather, crop stages, machinery, open tasks, and scouting records in one working view. Agronomists use the mobile app to inspect fields offline, add observations, and sync the work when they reconnect.

A scouting workflow that fits the season

Start with a field or a new alert, not a spreadsheet. Review the recent imagery and field history, create an inspection, record what the scout found, and leave the next task with a responsible person.

Planva keeps the observation attached to the field and its operating history. The team sees what changed, what has already been checked, and which work remains open.

What field teams use Planva for

Offline mobile scouting
Field inspections and observation records
Field history and crop rotation
Crop-stage and threshold context
Weather changes near the field
Machinery and tracker context
Assigning and reviewing follow-up tasks
Preparing a morning brief from new field signals

The aim is not another map for the office. It is a shorter path from something noticed in a field to a recorded decision and a clear next task.

Who should not buy farm scouting software

Do not buy a separate scouting system if your team only needs paper checklists and has no need to connect observations with field history, machinery, weather, or work planning.

Do not buy Planva if a bank, insurer, or buyer requires every inspection to stay in a mandated system and that system does not accept your existing records or export process.

If your current system is Cropwise and the main job is changing systems rather than scouting, read how to move from Cropwise to Planva.

How does offline mobile scouting work?
