THE PATH TO A SOLUTION

What was the goal?

By using the offline-capable mobile app as a complement to the online spreading table, customers can tap into new market opportunities and give their machine sales a significant competitive edge.

 

 

Why choose us?

By transferring the calculated machine settings to the spreader, it is adjusted to optimal settings. This ensures that the fertilizer is applied to the field in exactly the right amount and in the right place. This saves costs, protects the environment, and makes RAUCH fertilizer spreaders more efficient than comparable products from other manufacturers.

 

What was the result?

By transmitting the calculated spreading data to the spreader, it is adjusted to the optimal settings. This allows the farmer to use exactly the right amount of fertilizer—no more and no less. This saves costs and makes RAUCH machines more efficient than the competition.

 

WHAT OUR CUSTOMER SAYS

The collaboration was characterized by close coordination and a deep understanding of our technical processes. It went beyond a traditional client-contractor relationship and was marked by a collegial, collaborative partnership. Our practical requirements were quickly understood and translated into a well-designed, functional app solution.

The spreading table app

The RAUCH app offers users a toolkit for all aspects of fertilization, including a spreading table for optimizing fertilizer spreader settings and various other tools such as the calibration sample calculator and the wind meter to help prepare for the spreading process. Due to storage, transport, etc., fertilizer may exhibit spreading characteristics different from those specified. 

Based on years of experience and numerous previous spreading trials in Europe’s largest fertilizer testing hall, the app determines the best setting for fertilizer application and sends it directly to the spreader.

Into the Future with Flutter

Originally developed natively for Android and iOS, we rebuilt the app using Flutter in 2024 and gave it a redesign to ensure it remains up to date both technologically and visually. 

As part of our maintenance contract, the app has been continuously expanded and improved since its release.

Key Benefits at a Glance

Offline mode

Thanks to a constantly updated database, the app keeps all application rates available even offline. This allows farmers to easily find the right fertilizer settings even in the field when mobile network coverage is poor.

Direct communication with the spreader

If the spreader is equipped with a Wi-Fi module, the settings can be sent quickly and easily from the app to the machine with the touch of a button—eliminating the need for tedious and error-prone manual entry on the spreader.

Fertilizer Identification System

The app can also help with unfamiliar fertilizers: Using high-resolution, true-to-scale photos, the fertilizer can be identified and the corresponding application rate chart can be accessed.

Useful Tools

The wind gauge uses a traffic-light system to indicate whether the spread material can be applied at the current wind speed. The angle gauge, on the other hand, can be used to check the three-point hitch alignment to ensure the fertilizer spreader is correctly positioned during both standard and late-season fertilization.
