The TracMap system is an in-cab GPS display unit that works with a cloud-based job management system called TracMap Online. Using TracMap Online you can effectively manage all vehicle operations within your business.
Once logged in to TracMap Online, you can draw maps of the areas that need to be harvested or treated, mark out hazards, input job details (chemical, rate etc.), and send the job wirelessly to your driver. Our in-cab GPS display unit, guides your driver to the job with all the information they need to do it right.
Through TracMap Online, you can watch the job as it happens and view all the data collected by the GPS unit in real time on your desktop or mobile device. Once the job is completed, you have the information you need to make better business decisions.
Ray Norris manages the family owned and run macadamia orchard, Alloway Macadamia in Bundaberg, Queensland. Wanting to increase yield, he installed the TracMap system because it allows him to collect yield data from the orchard, and wirelessly send it to the office.
“TracMap is very cost effective. The fact that it can be used for a lot more than just yield monitoring makes it even more affordable. I am looking forward to being able to identify the areas that we will get more ‘bang for our buck’ in yield improvement.”– Ray Norris, Farm Manager, Alloway Macadamia
Stop the mistakes that impact production. With TracMap, there are no missed or double sprayed rows, vehicles running at the wrong speed or drivers treating the wrong block. With TracMap, you and your drivers know exactly where, when and how the job is being completed.
Make better use of skilled supervisors. You can monitor job progress and vehicles remotely. Order sprayers and harvesters to go to the correct block without needing someone on the ground to supervise the operation.
Automatically capture data electronically, without filling in paper forms. Link to load cell systems when harvesting to capture actual row weights for comparing yields between blocks or rows. Capture harvest and yield data, for accurate split-picking and make operational decisions in real-time.

Kagome’s CEO, Jason Fritsch, had been looking for a way to improve traceability from field to factory and gain more visibility on job tracking.
Working together, TracMap and Kagome developed a solution. Kagome can now track exactly where their machines are operating and the bins that are being filled allowing for a more efficient use of resources and planning at every stage of production, “TracMap has met all of our expectations and provided measurable results. They were the only company that could adapt to our needs. We spoke to a number of alternative providers but none of them were able to integrate with our systems like TracMap has,” Jason adds.
