When you are getting started with Seedtrakr we recommend following the sequence below to ensure that you have entered your prerequisite information before moving on to the next step. Click on the steps below to follow the recommended sequence.
Seedtrakr is designed to work best with Google Chrome, if you don't have it installed already you can download it here.
In Google Chrome, visit app.seedtrakr.com to get started.
Here you will be taken to the login screen where you can enter the email address that you signed up with and the password that was emailed to you.
Once you've successfully logged in, you will be taken to your dashboard page.
You'll notice that your account is pre-populated with data. This is trial data for you to view and use to get to know Seedtrakr, this data can be cleared at any time if you wish to begin entering your own data.
The Company Settings page is the first page you'll need to go to. It can be found under the Admin menu on the top right side of the page.
Here you can input important information about your company, and configure your preferences and settings for your account.
All the items below are entered under the Product Master menu
Next you'll need to enter your Seed Suppliers. These are the breeders/genetics companies for your pedigreed seed. Seed Suppliers are entered under the Product Master menu, on the Seed Suppliers page.
Entering your Seed Suppliers is required in order to enter Varieties and Products.
Seed Varieties need to be set up next. This allows you to specify the varieties that you will be inventorying and selling as well as the Seed Supplier that they are from.
Entering your Seed Varieties is required in order to enter Products.
Now you can enter all the Products that you will be inventorying and selling.
Products in Seedtrakr differentiate from varieties in that they have a pedigree and a price associated with them. (They are what actually get inventoried and sold)
They are created from varieties so it's important to have those entered already.
If you sell retail products in addition to seed, they can be set up on the Retail Products page. Here you can view a list of all your Retail Products as well as view your on-hand, available and booked inventory for each of them.
Examples of Retail Products may include items like tote bags, seed treatments (that you are not applying for the customer), pallets & more.
Once Retail Products have been entered, they can then be added to bookings for your customers.
If you offer seed treating, next you'll need to enter your Seed Treatments.
This page allows you to manage a list of all the Treatments that you will be applying for your customers as well as view your on hand, booked and available quantities of each treatment.
Treatments must be linked to a CustomTreating Service to be added to bookings.
If you offer Services in addition to seed sales, you can enter them on the Services page.
Services such as seed cleaning, custom treating, trucking & more can be added and managed here.
These Services can then be added to bookings for your customers.
The Traceability screen is where you can enter a list of all your seed crop fields.
Each year you can add seed crop records to your fields to maintain a detailed history of what was planted in each field and when.
All the items below are entered under the Inventory menu
The first place you'll need to go when starting in the Inventory section is the Inventory Sites page (found under the Inventory menu).
Inventory Sites are the physical sites or "yards" where you have bins/warehouses to store seed.
Setting up your Inventory Sites properly is important for using the Visual Bin Inventory later on.
Once your inventory sites have been set up in the previous step, it's time to enter information about the actual Storage Locations where seed will be stored.
Storage Locations can be bins or warehouses and can be assigned to an inventory site for usage on the visual bin inventory.
Once you've got your storage locations entered, you can begin entering your Inventory Lots.
Inventory Lots let you enter your seed lot information and begin receiving seed into your storage locations. Inventory transactions are done on Inventory Lots, such as receiving, transferring, adjustments, blending and lot processing.
Each Inventory Lot will display it's quantity of seed available, booked and on hand.
You can also keep track of lot quality information (Report of analysis and grading reports), generate pedigreed seed declarations and manage purchases that you've made (not sales to your customers) on each Inventory Lot.
All the items below are entered under the Sales menu
The first step in the sales section is entering your Customers. This is done on the Customers page found under the Sales menu.
Customers can be entered manually on this screen or you can fill out our Customer Upload form and we can import them for you. Once you've filled out the form, send it to us at support@seedtrakr.com and we'll get it uploaded for you.
Every sale in Seedtrakr must be done through a Booking. Bookings allow you to reserve seed for customers so you can have an accurate view of how much inventory you have Booked, available and on hand at any given time.
Pickups are created from Bookings where scale tickets can be added to show the exact quantity picked up by the customer.
Once one or more pickups have been done on a Booking, an invoice can be generated for the items picked up by the customer.
