Eight Core Modules

EVERYTHING WE RUN.
ONE PLATFORM.

🐄
Module 01

Livestock Records & Sales

Track every animal from birth to sale — cattle, hogs, poultry, sheep. Lifecycle records with feed and veterinary costs entered per barn, medication and vaccination records, and sale prices. Year-end cost-of-goods reconciliation runs by livestock enterprise.

  • ▸Birth, death and sale recording
  • ▸Medication, treatment and vaccination records
  • ▸Livestock listings on HutterMart
🌾
Module 02

Crop Planning & Yield Management

Plan the growing season field by field. Record seed varieties and input costs, then log actual yields at harvest and compare them against plan. Year-over-year records show how each field and variety performed.

  • ▸Field records with acreage
  • ▸Season seed plan by crop and variety
  • ▸Input cost tracking (seed, fertilizer, chemical)
  • ▸Yield recording per field per crop
  • ▸Reference crop prices and basis ranges in planning
🚜
Module 03

Equipment & Fuel Ordering

Track every piece of our equipment — tractors, combines, trucks, augers, and specialised machinery. Log maintenance schedules, repair costs, and engine hours. Order fuel directly through the platform at regional rack pricing with farm-fuel exemptions applied. Never overpay for diesel again.

  • ▸Equipment registry with maintenance schedules
  • ▸Repair cost and labour-hour tracking per asset
  • ▸Fuel ordering at regional rack pricing with farm-fuel exemptions
  • ▸Auto-generated service work orders and overdue flags
  • ▸Equipment values feed our insurable-values schedule
🍽️
Module 04

Colony Kitchen & Group Buys

Our kitchens feed the whole community three times a day. The kitchen module tracks what they actually do — food inventory by pantry, freezer and cellar — alongside a group-buy board where our colonies pool orders.

  • ▸Food inventory tracking (pantry, freezer, cellar)
  • ▸Production logging in the garden, dairy and egg modules
  • ▸Kitchen group-buy board where our colonies pool orders
💰
Module 05

Colony Financials

Full double-entry bookkeeping designed for how our colonies are structured. Track income by enterprise — crop sales, livestock, manufacturing, HutterMart — against colony expenses, on a hash-chained ledger with a tamper-evident audit trail.

  • ▸Income tracking by enterprise (crop, livestock, mfg)
  • ▸Expense categorisation
  • ▸Year-end farming tax exports (CRA T2042 / IRS Schedule F)
  • ▸Posts automatically from HutterMart, meat, garden, honey, flour, dairy, field ops, fuel and fleet
🏗️
Module 06

Construction & Infrastructure Projects

Barns, shops, homes, grain bins, processing facilities — we are always building. A module to plan projects, order materials, log labour hours and track costs against budget is in development.

    📡
    Module 07

    Colony Messaging & Alerts

    Message threads between our colonies and with our vendors, maintenance work orders raised and closed against colony assets, and emergency alerts. Connected to Colony Connect for broader network communication.

    • ▸Colony-to-colony broadcast board — announcements, offers, wanted, alerts
    • ▸Maintenance work orders — raise, assign, cost and close against colony assets (beta)
    • ▸Direct messaging between colonies (beta)
    • ▸Emergency alerts to our SOS contacts and neighbouring colonies
    📋
    Module 08

    Regulatory Compliance & Records

    Keep the records the regulators require — livestock movement records, food safety plans and records for the meat plant, protected-zone records on our land parcels, and a tamper-evident accounting audit trail. Stored, organised and exportable.

    • ▸CFIA livestock movement records — premise IDs and generated notifications you download and file
    • ▸Protected-zone and land-parcel records
    • ▸Food safety plans and records for the meat plant
    • ▸Hash-chained accounting ledger with a tamper-evident audit trail (beta)

    Powered by AI

    OUR AI ADVISORS

    Two AI advisors read our own records today: herd health, breeding and sale-timing advisories on livestock, and per-parcel advisories from soil test results. A general farm assistant that reaches every module is in development.

    01

    SALE TIMING

    Ask for a sale-timing advisory on a herd. It reads our own livestock records — head counts, events and past sales — and reasons about when to sell. It does not read live market prices: the commodity desk is in development.

    02

    SOIL ADVISORIES

    Feed soil test results, and optionally recent weather, into AI and get advisories back per parcel. Recommendations are scoped to the parcel they were run on.
