Intelliculture is excited to share that you can now set up SMS alerts in AlertView so you catch them on the field. Getting Started: Just like setting up email notifications, you can do so with SMS in the rule configurations in AlertView. Each text includes an alert name, vehicle, and a link to see the full details. Admins will need to add phone numbers for users in User Settings and subscribe them as shown below. You'll receive a confirmation text - just reply YES to activate. Reply STOP anytime to opt out, or START to turn them back on. Non-admins can subscribe their own phone numbers via Personal Settings as well. Many growers are using AlertView to catch unnecessary idles and missed inspections in real time. If you don't have any rules set up yet, reach out to your Customer Success rep to get started.

We've heard you loud and clear - when you spot a machine idling too long or running inefficiently, the first question is always "who was operating it?" Until now, finding that answer meant digging through data and piecing things together. Not anymore. Operator Data in CropView CropView now displays operator assignments for each machine. Reviewing field coverage? You'll see who was behind the wheel at a glance. Operator Data in StatsView View reports by operator - see exactly who's racking up the most idle time, or compare efficiency across your team (i.e. mph, ac/hr). Just select "Operator" in the View By dropdown on reports like Idling or Farming Efficiency. Why This Matters: When you see a machine that's been idling excessively or underperforming, you'll know exactly who to talk to. This means faster coaching conversations and better accountability across your operation. Learn More

One of our growers had an old tractor that had developed a bit of a wheeze—no warning lights, just a concerning rumble hinting at trouble. He’d grown used to it, like a familiar creak in the floorboards. Though he diligently logged expenses in StatsView, he hadn’t fully explored its reporting features—kind of like owning a Swiss Army knife and only using the bottle opener.  One slower afternoon, he decided to look into latest StatsView update. There it was: the maintenance costs for that tractor were creeping up, significantly higher than the others. Curious, he dug deeper and discovered the issue: fuel consumption. The old workhorse was thirstier than he realized. This sparked a thought. He checked the fuel injectors—something he might not have considered otherwise. Sure enough, one was clogged. A simple fix, and he avoided a potentially costly engine repair, all thanks to a timely insight. That’s the beauty of StatsView: it gives farmers th

Keeping operations running smoothly on the farm isn't easy these days—margins are tight, and a ton of potential work time is lost to equipment downtime. In fact, reports show the average farm loses 40-50% of potential productivity in this way - Ouch.  The first step to regaining that lost productivity is gaining a clear picture of what's really happening in the fields. Investing in an asset monitoring system can reveal exactly where the issues lie, whether it's persistent maintenance problems or older machines running less reliably. Armed with that data, growers can then set meaningful goals, such as minimizing downtime hours or boosting overall throughput. They can share these metrics across the team to foster accountability and promote open collaboration. Cross-department incentives can also create opportunities for everyone to contribute. IntelliCulture can help your team implement this data-driven, collaborative approach to optimize your farm's pr
