      What's New in FarmCloud

      Stay updated with the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes in FarmCloud.

      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 cancelation 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 missing subscription even if the user has a valid plan.

      This is now resolved

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

      On mobile, the subscription overview is accessible via the navigation drawer and settings screen, fully responsive.

      • Edit Farm Details for Better Farm Records Accuracy 

      Farmers can now edit the details of existing plants on their farms, making it easier to keep records up to date without losing any historical data.

      This update makes farm data more flexible and accurate, especially in cases where plant info changes or was initially entered incorrectly. 

      The changes made will be reflected automatically across the platform (including reports and dashboards) and only authorized users can make the edits. Users get a confirmation message once changes are successfully saved.

       

      •  Add & Manage Suppliers on FarmCloud 

      FarmCloud users can now  add and manage supplier information  directly within the system. This feature enables users to maintain a list of their preferred or frequently used suppliers, whether local agrovet or enterprise level making it easier to keep track of where inputs and services are sourced. 

      Users can input suppliers names from the Fertilizer and Agrochemical section. And the system will automatically check for existing supplier names and prevent duplicate entries.

      If a match is found, users receive a clear error message and are prompted to use the existing record. Similarity suggestions, The system checks for closely matching names and displays them to the user before saving. Where users can choose from suggested existing suppliers or proceed with their entry if no exact match is found.

      Successfully saved suppliers are immediately available for selection throughout FarmCloud.

      ENHANCEMENTS 

      • Low Stock Alerts for Fertilizer & Agrochemical Inventory

      To help prevent interruptions in your farm operations, FarmCloud now sends automatic alerts when your fertilizer or agrochemical stock falls below the minimum quantity you’ve set. 

      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.

      Example 

      • Optimize NDVI data export - currently takes time to load

      We’ve optimized the NDVI data export process to make it faster and more reliable. We reduced the loading time  when exporting the NDVI data. And 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. This allows you to access content behind the chat window without needing to close it.

      Ensures a more efficient and uninterrupted workflow, particularly 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 appears:
        • Payment methods
        • Supporting Documents
        • Expense Description 
      • The system automatically:
        • Creates an expense in the category Farm Inputs > Fertilizers & Agrochemicals.
        • Associate 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. Users have the ability to create custom expense categories, created with a unique name and optional description.

       

      • 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 an “Create ”option. Clicking “Create” opens a clean prefiled 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). Which 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."

      This ensures that 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 for enterprise users. 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 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 and a  confirmation toast appears to notify users of a successful payment.

       

      • Billing Limitations For Products Without Billing Information

      To streamline workflows and align with our 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. And only users with access to Accounting features can now:

      • Manually create products
      • Manage or edit products details 

      This change 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, we’ve updated the system to allow higher decimal precision for all quantity-related fields. Unit quantities in inventory and daily work reports now support up to 4-6 decimal places. This ensures that 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 data wasn’t showing due to timeout issues, API request failures, or  incomplete response. We’re keeping an eye on request success rates across different polygon sizes and timeframes to ensure data reliability. 

       

      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. This can be achieved through a dedicated “Deactivate” button 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) but cannot modify or delete anything. A clear visual-indicator (banner) will show that the farm is deactivated.

      Data Retention 

      No data is lost during deactivation. All farm-related data remains fully intact and accessible in the 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. This feature helps users analyze historical vegetation and moisture trends using indices such as NDVI, EVI, EVI2, DSWI, NDWI, and NRI.

      Users can export historical satellite data for the following indices:

      • 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)

      Each satellite index will include the following statistics for each available date: Max, Min, Median, Mean, Standard Deviation, Num. The data will be exported as a CVS 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 

      The CVS files are fully compatible with Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, Google Sheets Any spreadsheet tool that supports CVS.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 for any selected polygon.. The exported CVS 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 

      Medean 

      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

      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 will be 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.Users now experience a card based layout for both hourly and daily forecasts, while historical data remains accessible via a chart view for detailed trends analysis.

      Each 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 oC )
      • High & Low Temperatures ( (e.g. High: 17.57 oLow: 17.57 o)
      • Wind Speed (e.g. 2.17 m/s )
      • Precipitation/ Rainfall (e.g. 0.00 mm )

      Bugs 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, the 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 the specific date”

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

      Improvement

      • Simplified “Customize Columns” Component

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

      Sample Example

      • 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 eros
      • 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, which helps users avoid confusion and ensure the system behaves as expected. 

      • 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, which sometimes caused confusion or disrupted the workflow. 

      With this update, the report generation process keeps users on the same page, making navigation cleaner and the experience more seamless.

       

       

      Version 2.7.0

      Release Date: May 2, 2025

      Feature Updates

      You can use this fields to:

      • Add reminders or follow-ups 
      • Capture field observation 
      • Include specific instructions or comments 

      The notes section is optional, feel free to use it while needed 

                   

      ✨ Enhancement

      • Search for Location Using Coordinates

      Users can now search and pin their farm location directly on the map using GPS coordinates, this feature allows users to search any location without manually scrolling, or search for it. 

      How to use it:

        • Upon selecting the Settings option from the sidebar 
        • Click on the Farm Info tab and click on the Edit Farm Details button
        • Under Select farm location from map on the search bar enter your GPS coordinates (e.g. -0.09170160, 34.76795680)
        • The map will automatically zoom into the exact location and drop a pin.
        • Review the location, if correct click Save to update your farm location.

      🌟 Why use GPS coordinates?

      Invoice Enhancement: Improved tax display and items Description 

      We’ve made improvements to the invoice layout for a clearer and more professional look, especially when handling details items descriptions and tax rates 

      ✅ What’s New:

      Tax Rate Display

      The tax rate column now shows the percentage only (e.g. 90.00%) to keep the invoice clean. Full tax breakdowns, including tax name and total amount are now displayed below the subtotal, giving users a clearer view of total tax applied  across all items. 

      • It ensures better readability, even with detailed product/service descriptions.
      • Separating tax breakdown from line items improves accuracy and visual clarity
      • The new structure is optimized 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. The system now automatically logs out users when their session expires and redirects them to the login page with a clear message explaining that the session has expired. This helps avoid confusion, enhances the user experience, and ensures improved security by properly clearing expired sessions. 

      Weekly Work Reports to Annual Work Reports
      We’ve updated the work reports section to show an annual view instead of weekly. The report section now gives users a full-year view, showing all reports created from January to December. Reports are grouped by months and displayed in a clean stacked bar chart, making it easy to track your farm activity across the year. The chart includes visual improvements, you’ll see 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. This means users can log back in without seeing “session expired ” messages or unexpected errors. The result is a smoother experience, fewer issues, and a more secure, stable system.
