Agriculture & Crop Production

Connect seed to customer operations with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Modern crop production increasingly combines agriculture, manufacturing, inventory management, quality control, and distribution. ScanWorkX brings guided mobile execution into the places where that physical work occurs.

Extend D365 Finance & Operations and Supply Chain Management into greenhouses, grow rooms, production areas, warehouses, cold-storage areas, packing operations, and shipping docks using mobile workflows and barcode scanning.

Controlled Environment Agriculture

From growing environments to the warehouse

Greenhouses, vertical farms, hydroponic facilities, aquaponics, and other protected growing environments manage more than crops. They also manage seed and genetics, propagation materials, nutrients, growing media, containers, crop batches, harvested material, packaging, finished products, and customer orders.

Seed-to-customer inventory flow through controlled agriculture, processing, packaging, and warehouse operations
ScanWorkX helps move D365 transaction execution closer to where crop, material, and warehouse activity physically occurs.
01

Inputs and propagation

Receive seed, growing materials, nutrients, growing media, containers, and other supplies into controlled inventory.

02

Growing inventory

Track material and crop movements between propagation areas, grow rooms, greenhouses, racks, and other production locations.

03

Harvest and processing

Record completed quantities and support movements associated with harvesting, grading, processing, repacking, and labeling.

04

Warehouse and fulfillment

Count, store, pick, pack, and ship finished agricultural inventory while validating the information required by D365.

Seed-to-customer mobile execution

Build traceability as inventory changes form and location

Agricultural inventory can change identity, quantity, status, location, and value many times before reaching a customer. ScanWorkX can help users capture those physical transitions through mobile transactions connected to D365.

Seed lot through customer shipment traceability chain
Scanning lot, batch, container, tote, pallet, and finished-product identifiers can help create a more dependable transaction history.
01

Receive and put away

Receive purchased materials against the appropriate D365 document while confirming items, quantities, locations, lots, and required information.

02

Move and issue

Transfer crop and production inventory between controlled locations and issue seed, ingredients, packaging, and other consumables against production requirements.

03

Harvest and process

Record completed quantities and support grading, processing, repacking, labeling, and movement into the next inventory status or location.

04

Count and fulfill

Perform inventory counts and validate products, lots, locations, and quantities before finished goods are picked, packed, and shipped.

Traceability depends on accurate execution

Reliable transaction history helps operations investigate where material originated, what batch it became, where remaining inventory is located, and which customer received the finished product.

Controlled crop inventory

Support high-value crops where every lot matters

ScanWorkX is suited to controlled crop environments where identity, location, inventory status, processing history, and traceability are important as material moves from production toward finished inventory.

Controlled inventory may move through inspection, quarantine, release, allocation, and shipment before reaching the customer.
01

Commercial greenhouse and vertical farming

Support inventory execution for leafy greens, herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, microgreens, and other high-value crops in greenhouse, hydroponic, and vertical environments.

02

Specialty and medicinal botanicals

Help preserve identity and inventory history where variety, crop batch, source material, or production lot affects downstream processing or quality decisions.

03

Regulated cultivation

ScanWorkX can work with enterprise processes surrounding regulatory tracking systems while D365 manages the applicable inventory, production, warehouse, and business transactions.

04

Food traceability and recall readiness

Capture and validate D365 lot and inventory information during receiving, transformation, movement, picking, and shipping to support more dependable investigation of affected product.

Inventory status can change throughout the operation

Available In Process Awaiting Inspection Quarantined Released Allocated Shipped

ScanWorkX does not replace a government-mandated tracking application. Where a regulatory compliance solution is required, ScanWorkX can support the D365 enterprise processes surrounding that environment.

A mobile execution layer for D365

Keep Microsoft Dynamics 365 at the center of the enterprise

Agriculture companies may already use specialized systems for crop planning, greenhouse automation, environmental monitoring, quality, regulatory reporting, or compliance. ScanWorkX does not need to replace those systems. It provides mobile execution for the inventory, production, warehouse, and fulfillment transactions managed through D365.

ScanWorkX connects employees and physical inventory activity with the D365 enterprise processes already supporting the operation.

Bring warehouse discipline to agricultural inventory

Support receiving, put-away, replenishment, inventory transfers, production picking, material issue and return, cycle counting, order picking, packing, shipping, and returns across production and warehouse environments.

Reduce the gap between physical activity and ERP information

Mobile transactions move data entry closer to receiving, movement, consumption, completion, counting, picking, and shipping events instead of depending only on paper records or later workstation entry.

Design workflows for the people doing the work

Employees can be guided through the item, location, lot, quantity, production order, sales order, and other information required for the activity one step at a time.

Start with a controlled pilot

A complete seed-to-customer rollout does not need to begin with every greenhouse, production process, and warehouse transaction. A representative crop, facility, and transaction group can be used to validate the process before broader rollout.

PHASE 1

Receiving, put-away, inventory transfer, and cycle counting.

PHASE 2

Production material picking, issue and return, and finished reporting.

PHASE 3

Harvest and processing inventory, packaging, and lot controls.

PHASE 4

Customer-order picking, packing, and shipping.

PHASE 5

Additional greenhouses, production facilities, and distribution locations.

More dependable inventory records

Capture lot, batch, location, and transaction information while inventory is physically being handled and reduce mistakes created by handwritten or delayed entry.

More consistent execution

Replace paper-dependent activity with guided mobile processes and apply common operating steps across greenhouses, production facilities, warehouses, and distribution operations.

Stronger traceability and fulfillment

Build more complete inventory histories while supporting repeatable receiving, movement, picking, packing, and shipping processes connected to D365.
