FarmCloud Release Notes.

Version 2.11.0

Release date: 15th July, 2025

Feature Updates

NEW FEATURES

Improved Navigation in Daily Work Reports
To enhance user navigation and accessibility, we’ve updated the Daily Work Reports view. Previously the element name and plant were displayed as plain text, making it difficult for users to access related details directly.

With this update, both element names and plant names are now clickable links. Clicking on this will redirect users to their respective element or plant detail pages, streamlining workflows and improving user experience.

Multi-Block & Multi-Product Entry for Agrochemical, Fertilizer and Harvest Records
Farmers managing many blocks previously had to create separate agrochemical, fertilizer or harvest reports for each individual block, even when the activity was identical across all blocks. This was time consuming and repetitive.

With this update, users can now create multiple sub records under a single main record, significantly reducing entry time while increasing data accuracy and flexibility.

Real-Time Device Monitoring for Farmers
Farmers can now access real-time and recent data from devices assigned to their farms, such as soil moisture, temperature, and other crucial readings. This empowers farmers to make better, and data-driven decisions directly from their dashboard.

A new section is now available where farmers can view all devices assigned to their farm(s).

Submit New Plant, Fertilizer & Agrochemical Requests via Google Forms
To streamline the process of collecting user requests for new plants, fertilizers, & agrochemicals not currently listed in the system, users will now be redirected to dedicated Google Forms to submit their request.

When a user needs to request for the addition of a new plant, fertilizer, or agrochemical they’ll be redirected to the Google Form. Each form is designed to capture necessary details to evaluate and process and request efficiently.

ENHANCEMENTS

Report Edit Permissions, Approval Workflow & History Tracking
To ensure accountability and transparency in farm operations, we’ve introduced new controls around how daily work reports are edited, reviewed, and approved. This update brings improved role-based permissions, edit history tracking, and an optional approval flow for the farm owner or manager.

IMPROVEMENTS

Custom Index Selection for Satellite Data Export
Previously, while exporting satellite data, all available indices were automatically included in the export file, regardless of users’ needs. This update empowers users with the ability to choose specific indices they want to include before exporting.

Users can now select specific satellite indices (e.g. NDVI, EVI, NDWI) before generating the report.

  • A checkbox list of available indices is presented in the export modal.

  • The Export Data button is disabled until one index is selected.

Improved Supplier Form Functionality
We’ve enhanced the supplier form experience to improve flow and reduce manual input. The Create Supplier button is clickable as soon as the name of the supplier doesn’t exist. After successfully adding a new supplier, the system now returns the supplier's details and uses them to auto-fill the relevant fields in the form.

Account Reset After Subscription Cancellation
To simplify the user journey and ensure a clean restart for previously subscribed users, we’ve updated how the system handles subscription cancellation.

When a user cancels their subscription, their current plan will be active until the conclusion of the paying cycle.

Once the period expires and cancellation takes effect:

  • The user's plan gets completely canceled.

  • The customer's record is removed, resetting their subscription status.

  • Upon logging in again, the user will be prompted to select a new plan before they can access any features.

Improved Farm and Users Activation Logic Based on Subscription Plan
We've improved the way subscription plan limits are enforced when adding or reactivating farms and users. This ensures that users who manage their accounts within the parameters of their existing plan have a consistent and fair experience.

Previously, reactivating a deactivated farm triggered an error about a missing subscription, even if the user had a valid plan.

This is now resolved:

  • Users with an active plan can reactivate inactive farms, as long as they remain within their plan’s active farm limit.

If stock falls below the minimum:

  • You’ll see a notification when you log in

  • The alerts will show:

    • Product Name

    • Current Quantity

    • Minimum Quantity

  • A “Restock Now” button lets you quickly restock the item

  • Notification stays visible until the stock is replenished above the minimum

Optimize NDVI Data Export – Faster Loading
We’ve optimized the NDVI data export process to make it faster and more reliable.

  • Reduced loading time when exporting NDVI data

  • Users will notice a quicker response after clicking the “Export NDVI Data” button

Chatbox is Now Movable
We improved the in-app chatbox experience to avoid blocking critical screen elements like the Upgrade Plan card or other UI components.

  • The chatbox can now be moved around the screen by dragging it

  • Allows access to content behind the chat window without needing to close it

  • Ensures a more efficient and uninterrupted workflow, especially on smaller screens or when viewing critical activities such as upgrade prompts or forms

Optional Expense Creation When Adding Fertilizer & Agrochemical
To improve financial accuracy and decrease human labor, customers can now produce an expense record instantly when adding or replenishing fertilizer or agrochemicals to a farm.

The Add Fertilizer/Agrochemical form now has a new “Create Expense” checkbox.

When checked:

  • The system requires users to specify a cost figure greater than zero

  • Additional fields appear:

    • Payment methods

    • Supporting Documents

    • Expense Description

  • The system automatically:

    • Creates an expense in the category Farm Inputs > Fertilizers & Agrochemicals

    • Associates it with the appropriate farm

    • Auto-approves the expense

  • Users are informed prior to submission that an expense will be recorded

Users Can Now Create and Manage Their Own Expense Categories
Responding to user input and the need for more flexible financial tracking, FarmCloud now allows users to establish, update, and administer their own expense categories, in addition to the default list formerly controlled by Synnefa Admin.

Add Custom Expense Categories
FarmCloud now allows you to add new expense categories directly from the expense form, making it easy to personalize your expense tracking without leaving the flow.

When typing in the expense category field, if no match is found, users will see a “Create” option. Clicking “Create” opens a clean pre-filled modal with:

  • Editable name field (auto-filled from the typed text)

  • Optional description textarea

  • Save and Cancel actions

Instant Availability:

  • Once saved, the new category is automatically added to the dropdown and selected in the form

Farm Owners Can Now Reactivate Users
We've fixed an issue that previously prevented farm owners from reactivating deactivated or terminated users.

  • Farm owners can now reactivate users

  • This restores access for the reactivated user without requiring administrative assistance

  • Reactivated users resume their former roles and permissions

IMPROVEMENTS

Consistent Record Count After Switching Tabs
We've optimized the tab-switching experience to guarantee that the record count stays consistent and fits the page size chosen.

  • When switching between tabs (e.g. “Active” to “Inactive”), the page size setting is preserved

  • The number of rows shown continues to match the user’s chosen value (e.g. 10, 20)

  • Prevents confusion from unexpected record jumps and resets

User Reactivation Now Validates Subscription Plan
We’ve added subscription-aware validation to the user reactivation process to close a loophole that allowed user reactivation even when the plan did not support it.

  • When a farm owner attempts to reactivate a user, the system now checks their current subscription plan

  • If the plan’s user limit has been reached, the reactivation is blocked with a clear message:

"Your current plan does not support additional users. Please upgrade to accommodate additional users."

  • Ensures reactivations are only allowed if the plan supports additional users

Tailored Dashboard Experience for Enterprise Users
We improved the in-app experience for Enterprise users by better reflecting their custom subscription agreements and removing self-service items that do not apply to them.

  • Upgrade prompts, billing-related actions, and subscription cards are now hidden

  • Instead, a custom interface better fitting enterprise user needs is displayed

  • The subscription section in the sidebar is removed to reduce confusion

  • Payment method info and relevant billing contacts are retained for visibility

  • Cancel and change plans options are no longer shown to Enterprise users

Improved Payment Flows
To improve the post-subscription experience:

  • Users who subscribe to a plan are now instantly redirected back to the application dashboard

  • A confirmation toast appears to notify users of a successful payment

Billing Limitations For Products Without Billing Information
To streamline workflows and align with financial features, we’ve updated the navigation and access permissions related to Products & Services.

  • The “Products & Services” link has been moved from the main sidebar into the Accounting section

  • Only users with Accounting access can now:

    • Manually create products

    • Manage or edit product details

This ensures product management is aligned with billing and invoicing flows.

Increased Decimal Precision for Inventory & Work Reports
To support more accuracy and reduce data loss:

  • Unit quantities in inventory and daily work reports now support up to 4–6 decimal places

  • Ensures small unit values like 0.0008 Kg (800 mg) are preserved accurately

NDVI Data Missing for Some Polygons
We fixed an issue in which historical NDVI data was sometimes missing from FarmCloud.

  • The issue was caused by timeout errors, API request failures, or incomplete responses

  • Fix ensures NDVI data is reliably shown across different polygon sizes and timeframes

  • We’re actively monitoring request success rates to maintain data reliability


FarmCloud Release Notes

Version 2.8.0

Release date: May 12, 2025

Feature Updates

NEW FEATURES

Farm Deactivation
Previously, users were unable to deactivate their owned farms without deleting them permanently. We have introduced a new Deactivation feature that allows farm owners to temporarily suspend operations while preserving all associated data.

  • A dedicated “Deactivate” button is available in the Farm Info interface

  • A confirmation dialog is displayed to avoid accidental deletion

  • Only authorized farm owners can deactivate or reactivate a farm

  • Read-only mode:

    • Users can view farm data (e.g. Accounting, Farm Assets)

    • Users cannot modify or delete anything

  • A clear visual indicator (banner) shows that the farm is deactivated

Data Retention

  • No data is lost during deactivation

  • All farm-related data remains fully intact and accessible in read-only mode until reactivation

Satellite Index Data Export (CSV)
Users in Gold and Platinum subscriptions can now export all available satellite index data for a selected polygon into a downloadable CSV file.

  • Helps analyze historical vegetation and moisture trends using indices such as:

    • NDVI (Normalized Different Vegetation Index)

    • DSWI (Dry Soil Wetness Index)

    • EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index)

    • EVI2 (Two-band EVI)

    • NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index)

    • NRI (Normalized Ratio Index)

Export Details

  • Each index includes the following statistics for each available date:

    • Max, Min, Median, Mean, Standard Deviation, Num

  • Data is exported as a CSV file

  • Each index expands into 6 columns per date

  • Missing data is handled gracefully with empty or N/A fields

  • Sample file name: satellite_export_<polygonName(e.g.Mavuno)>_<date>.csv

  • Files are fully compatible with:

    • Microsoft Excel

    • Apple Numbers

    • Google Sheets

    • Any spreadsheet tool that supports CSV

Access

  • Only subscribed users can export satellite data

  • Non-subscribed users will see an upgrade prompt when attempting to export

NDVI Historical Data Export (CSV)
Users are now able to export historical NDVI data for any selected polygon. This allows agronomists, consultants, and data-driven farmers to perform offline analysis using tools like Excel or advanced statistical software.

  • Users can only export 1 year’s worth of historical NDVI data per polygon

  • The exported CSV includes the following for each date:

Field

Description

Date

Date of the satellite observation

Mean

Average NDVI value

Pixel Count

Number of data points (pixels) used

Median

Median NDVI value

Max

Maximum NDVI value

Min

Minimum NDVI value

Standard Deviation

Spread on NDVI values

Satellite type

Source satellite (e.g. Sentinel-9, Landsat-19)

Zoom level

Level of resolution used for data

Data coverage %

How much of the polygon had usable data

Cloud Coverage %

Estimated cloud presence on the imagery

Access & Export Flow

  • Users can click “Export NDVI Data” directly from a polygon’s detailed view

  • Only subscribed users can access and download NDVI data

  • Non-subscribed users will see a disabled button

  • A loading indicator is displayed while the file is being prepared

Enhancements

Weather & Satellite Chart Review
We’ve improved how weather forecast data is displayed to make it clearer, more user-friendly, and accessible across devices.

  • Card-based layout for hourly and daily forecasts

  • Historical data remains accessible via a chart view for detailed trend analysis

Each weather card includes:

  • Date & Time (e.g. May 13th, 9:00 AM)

  • Weather Icon (e.g. ☁️ for overcast clouds)

  • Condition Description (e.g. overcast clouds)

  • Temperature in Celsius (e.g. 18.33 °C)

  • High & Low Temperatures (e.g. High: 17.57 °C, Low: 17.57 °C)

  • Wind Speed (e.g. 2.17 m/s)

  • Precipitation / Rainfall (e.g. 0.00 mm)

Bug Fixes

Accurate Unit Tracking for Fertilizers & Agrochemicals
To improve accuracy and clarity, we’ve updated how fertilizer and agrochemical quantities are recorded and reported across the system. Users can now track and view quantities in actual units without conversion into kilograms.

Users can now view, track, and record fertilizer/agrochemical quantities in their original units throughout the following areas:

Feature/Section

Update

Add fertilizer/agrochemical

Select a unit (kg, l, ml) when creating the product

Inventory restock

Restock using the original selected unit – no conversion allowed

Daily Work Reports

Use the same units as inventory, unit is locked to avoid confusion

Traceability Reports

Displays quantities with units clearly (e.g. “10 litres”)


Subscription Expiry Banner Now Shows Accurate Status
The subscription banner previously showed incorrect or confusing expiry details, especially when the expiry date was in the past.

The banner now clearly distinguishes between expiry and upcoming subscriptions. Accurate context-aware messages are shown:

  • If expired: “Your Subscription expired on January 9, 2025”

  • If active but ending soon: “Your subscription is scheduled to end on [specific date]”

This update eliminates confusion around subscription status and ensures users receive the correct message at the right time.

Improvement

Simplified “Customize Columns” Component
To enhance clarity and user experience, we’ve updated the Customize Columns feature with a more intuitive layout. This change follows a design recommendation focused on making features easier to understand.

Tab Paginations
Previously, pagination state was shared across multiple tabs. This caused:

  • Out-of-range or invalid data loading when switching tabs

  • Unexpected empty state or fetch errors

  • Confusion from retaining the wrong page number across different data views

Each tab now maintains its own page state independently and resets to page 1 only if:

  • You switch to a different tab

  • You revisit a tab after navigating away

This update ensures:

  • Consistent, predictable navigation across paginated data tabs

  • Avoidance of confusion and incorrect data loads

  • A smoother, expected system behavior for users

Auto-Download Traceability Reports
Users can now generate traceability reports without being redirected to a new browser tab.

  • Previously: Generating a report opened a new Google page, sometimes causing confusion or workflow disruption

  • Now: The report generation process keeps users on the same page

  • Result: Cleaner navigation and a more seamless experience

  • Ensures better readability, even with detailed product/service descriptions

  • Separating tax breakdown from line items improves accuracy and visual clarity

  • Optimized structure for both screen and PDF viewing

Session Timeout
Users can now log in again smoothly after a session timeout without getting stuck in a reload loop.

  • System automatically logs out users when their session expires

  • Redirects them to the login page with a clear message: “Your session has expired”

  • Prevents confusion, improves user experience, and ensures security by properly clearing expired sessions

Weekly Work Reports to Annual Work Reports

  • Full-year view (January to December)

  • Reports grouped by months and displayed in a stacked bar chart

  • Easy to track farm activity across the year

  • Visual improvements include showing the total number of reports created that year at a glance

Bugs Fixed

Improved Logout & Session Expiry Handling
We’ve fixed a bug that occasionally caused error messages or crashes after a user was logged out or their session expired.

  • Now, when a session ends or a user logs out, all background data is properly cleared

  • Users can log back in without seeing “session expired” messages or unexpected errors

  • Results in:

    • Smoother experience

    • Fewer issues

    • More secure and stable system
