6 Reasons Why You Should Use Productivity Software

Mar 25, 2024
In the ever-evolving landscape of spray drone technology, the integration of software is not just a benefit—it’s an advantage. The right tools can transform your operation’s productivity, and that’s where AcreConnect™ comes in. This new productivity software from Rantizo® is made for operators who want to maximize their time flying, minimize office time, and verify their work was done correctly. 

Here are six reasons that make AcreConnect a powerful addition to your operation. 

1. MADE FOR REAL OPERATORS 
As the largest spray drone operator network, Rantizo is committed to meeting the needs of spray drone operators. We went straight to the source and asked our network operators what features would help their business most. They told us they needed reliable software that’s as mobile as they are, capable of delivering precise records for quick and easy verification of work with customers. They also emphasized the importance of an accurate product database. AcreConnect was designed to meet these core requirements, ensuring that every feature, from mobile accessibility to the integrated label database provided by TELUS® Agriculture (formerly Agrian), is tailored to empower the operator in the field. 

2. BETA TESTED, OPERATOR APPROVED 
Months of beta testing with independent and employee operators at our regional hubs has helped ensure that AcreConnect is fine-tuned to meet practical demands out in the field. 

3. ENHANCED EFFICIENCY 
The new software helps operators stay organized by collecting information throughout the job. Create work orders for yourself or assign them to your team to get the job started. Then, view and send product usage reports, As Covered and As Applied Maps* from the field’s edge** after the job is completed. No need to wait until you are back in the office.  

4. VERIFY YOUR WORK 
Whether it's for billing or simply to put your customer at ease, it’s important to be able to verify your work was completed promptly and accurately. AcreConnect collects data throughout the job to ensure that every acre sprayed is accounted for, as soon as the job is completed. 

5. GET MORE AS AN IN-NETWORK OPERATOR 
AcreConnect software comes with all the benefits of the Rantizo nationwide network. Get listed on the operator map and gain eligibility for local spray jobs requested in your area. 
 
6. AFFORDABLE SOLUTION 
We understand that every dollar counts when it comes to your business. That’s why AcreConnect is priced to pay for itself quickly. In fact, landing just one additional job could easily offset the cost of your entire subscription.

Rantizo Certified Technician Helping Drone Operator
02 May, 2024
As spray drone technology continues to evolve, operators often encounter challenges requiring expert support. From calibration uncertainties and warranty repairs to technical troubleshooting and regulatory questions, the complexities can be daunting. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or just starting out, here’s how a support package can benefit your business. 1. Calibration Questions Calibrating your drone helps ensure correct readings for more precise spray coverage. A support team can provide peace of mind that you’ve completed the process correctly, allowing you to fly with confidence. For example, calibrating your drone helps in getting a correct report on targeted vs. actual gallons per acre sprayed following a job. Common questions asked: How do I calibrate the spray system of the drone? How often do I need to calibrate my drone? Why should I calibrate my drone? 2. Warranty Repairs If your drone malfunctions or breaks down, maintain your warranty and investment by having a Certified Technician to assist with repairs. Find a team that can help you facilitate the process and provide clear instructions to help you get back to work efficiently. Common questions asked: Why am I receiving an error message? My drone is having malfunctions that I can’t figure out. Can you help? What documents do I need to complete for warranty repairs? Why is my pump not spraying? 3. Technical Troubleshooting Technology isn’t perfect and errors do occur. Troubleshooting errors alone can be a headache. Having a drone expert you can call for help will make it easier to solve these tricky problems and get you back in the air faster. Common Questions asked: Why is my drone giving me a pump error message? Why am I getting ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) errors? Why is my charger not fast charging? Why am I getting kicked into manual flight mode? Why is my RTK not connecting? Why won’t my drone take off? 4. Regulatory Questions Starting an FAA-compliant spray drone business can be intimidating. But with the right support team, you can confidently ask any regulatory question, basic or advanced. Common questions asked: How close can I fly to an airport? What do I need if the FAA shows up and questions me? How far away from roads do I need to be? How long does my medical card last? Why did my registration get denied? 5. Basic Operation Questions Quick questions deserve a quick answer. Especially when that question could directly affect your in-field performance. When choosing a support team, ensure that you reach a real person via call, text or email who can supply that quick answer to get you back in the air. Common questions asked: How to only spray a field boundary? What is the optimal gpa to spray fungicide? What should I set my swath width at if I’m spraying a pasture? What should my chemical mixture be to spray 30 acres of wheat at 2gpa? Where should I set up my RTK? 6. In-Field Repairs Downtime is lost revenue. With a support package, you can get the support you need to get back in the air quickly. Call in with a quick repair question or troubleshoot a larger issue with a Certified Technician. They can advise on in-field repairs or schedule your drone for repairs at our shop. Common questions asked: How do I change the propellers? Why aren’t the pumps spraying at max rate? How do I change the hopper gate on the dry spreader? How do I lock the battery in? 7. Product Recommendations At times, a fresh perspective is essential. Ensure that the drone support package you choose comes with a dedicated support line, offering top-notch advice on products such as generators, nozzles, components, or personal protective equipment. Common questions asked: What is the best propeller to use? What nozzles are best for fungicide? What is the best generator for my set up? Where can I buy a mixing tank? This season, make sure you have reliable support that you can count on. For more information on support packages available from Rantizo, visit www.rantizo.com/our-services or request a quote today.
