WHAT ARE THE EXTRA FUNCTIONS IN RECORD KEEPING?
GTA200 Record Keeping has all the capabilities of GTA100 Communicator, but its wider range of applications make it an even more valuable management tool. The main additional features it provides are the Job Planning Window in the Farm and Resource Manager, and the Reports menu, which enables the creation of numerous specific job and machine reports.
Job Planning
A key feature which allows the user to create a working group of machines, people and products that can then be applied to individual fields to produce multiple job plans at the same time. Choosing to enter completed jobs or planned jobs enables the user to include, manually, jobs from machines not equipped with a GTA Console.
Job Planning
The Farming window appears once the fields to be worked have been selected, allowing the user to enter a job name, crop and year, along with an operation type, to complete creation of the job.
Farming Window
Print Function
A summary of a particular job – including details on costings, weather and field conditions - can be obtained by pressing the Print Button in the Job Manager window.
Job Report
Reports
An extremely useful function that enables the creation of up to 10 different field and equipment reports. All reports display clearly structured information, which can be used to provide traceability, and to manage and analyse the efficiency of the operation – machines can be ranked for productivity and up-time, operators can be measured on efficiency, and fields can be managed more effectively, with costs including machine costs allocated more easily to specific fields.

- Fleet management – shows hours left to service, machine running parameters, etc.
- Usage report (Averages) – average details for each job – fuel cost, area per hour, total cost per area, etc.
