Blueberries

Blueberry picking, down to the last berry.

Dataphyll Grow measures picker performance across a long, repeat-pick season, so you know who is productive, what each block costs, and where quality slips.

The problem

Blueberries are picked over and over, by a workforce that changes every week.

Multiple passes through the same block, large casual crews and fine quality tolerances make blueberries hard to manage on paper. Dataphyll Grow records each pick against the worker and the block, so productivity and cost per kilogram are visible from the first pass to the last.

What you get with Dataphyll Grow.

Piece-rate harvesting

Electronic piece-rate capture, accurate to the gram, linked to the worker who picked it.

Timesheets and breaks

Sign workers on and off individually or as a crew. Breaks and top-ups are recorded as they happen.

Quality at the source

Reject rates trace back to the row and the picker, so supervisors can coach the same day.

Tasks and blocks

Assign and manage orchard tasks from any device, and see the cost of each block as work happens.

Payroll integrations

Hours and picked weights flow through to PayHero and Agrismart. No re-keying, no paperwork.

Real-time reporting

Production, yield and labour cost while the harvest is still running, not weeks after it.

Questions growers ask.

Can it handle multiple picks of the same block?

Yes. Every pick is recorded against its block and date, so you can compare passes and see how yield and productivity change through the season.

What about large casual crews?

Supervisors sign workers on and off individually or as a group, and each worker has their own tag, so crew size does not slow the process down.

Do we still need paper dockets?

No. Weights, hours and quality notes are captured electronically and flow through to PayHero or Agrismart for payroll.

"Data-driven decision making is key for us now. With the data we collected last year, we can forecast how many pickers, crew leaders, and scanners we'll need for the next season – we have access to that data, and it's helping us plan ahead."
