Croptracker is a cloud-based farm management platform built specifically for fruit and vegetable growers, packers, shippers, and co-operatives. Founded in 2006 by CEO Matt Deir — originally to solve spray-record management for members of the Ontario Apple Growers — the platform is developed by Dragonfly IT and is headquartered in Ontario, Canada. Croptracker now reports customers across 41 countries with more than 60,000 fields mapped on the platform, and describes its mission as making global food production safer, more efficient, and more profitable through integrated software, hardware, and consulting services.
The core platform centers on operational record-keeping: spray and chemical-input tracking with pre-harvest-interval and re-entry-interval alerts, real-time harvest yield recording, field-level GIS mapping using satellite imagery, work-crew scheduling and piece-rate labor tracking, cold-storage and CA-room inventory management, packing and shipping traceability with lot codes, and digitized Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) audit and compliance forms. Data can be entered from the field on smartphones, tablets, or barcode scanners, including offline field-packing workflows, and syncs to a central cloud dashboard with dozens of built-in reports for growers, auditors, and retail buyers.
Beyond standard record-keeping, Croptracker has built a line of computer-vision products: Harvest Quality Vision (phone-camera-based fruit sampling and grading), Crop Load Vision (in-field yield estimation by counting and sizing fruit on the tree), and Starch Quality Vision (apple starch/iodine grading). These feed into the Predictive Packout Toolkit, which combines seven modules to help packhouses forecast packout quality and reduce waste ahead of shipping.
Croptracker also offers an open API, described as supporting connections from seeding to shipping and sale for custom ERP integration and automated reporting; the company notes API use does require some technical knowledge and offers paid custom-integration support for teams without in-house developers, citing implementations with customers such as Schuyler Farms, Tregunno Farms, Rice Fruit Company, and Mr. Apple. Mobile apps are available for iOS and Android, extending the cloud platform's data entry and team-management features into the field.
