Leading Software Firms Ally To Create First GIS-Accounting Link

ALEDO, ILL. — SST Development Group and FBS Systems announce release of the first software designed for crop producers that links accounting capabilities to a geographic information system (GIS).

    Called MaCH 1.0, the new financial interface gives producers and advisors the unique opportunity of evaluating the economic return of precision-farming practices. It is also an excellent tool for pinpointing exact locations of identity preserved (IP) grain, from purchase and planting through storage and delivery.

    The challenge in today's precision farming is not the lack of data, but rather transforming a growing mountain of data into timely, rational decisions, according to Norm Brown, president of FBS, developer of the interface.

    "SSToolbox has earned a reputation as the most powerful GIS in agriculture through its ability to combine and analyze multiple years and sources of site-specific data," says Brown. "Plugging that analytical power into the FBS financial management information system makes precision farming achieve its true potential."

    SST president David Waits says his company and FBS share a similar mission—to make farmers more money by providing them software tools for gaining better insights into their operations. "We're really pleased that FBS and SST are working together to produce a seamless integration for our respective products," he says.

    MaCH 1.0 stands for No. 1 in mapping, accounting, commitment, hustle, explains Brown. "The name tells the story—product superiority forged through unswerving dedication and backed by aggressive customer service," he says.

    SST's comprehensive GIS provides automated data management, analysis functions and integrated import/export conversions for GPS receivers, controllers, yield monitors and soil laboratories. It is used by crop consultants, farm managers, crop input suppliers, agronomists and researchers in 33 states, 8 Canadian provinces and 11 countries.

    FBS Systems, pioneer and leader in integrated software since 1982, supplies accounting and crop management modules to producers and farm managers collectively responsible for over seven million crop acres.

    Along with the interface, the complete MaCH 1.0 package consists of either SSToolbox or SSToolkit from SST and Crop Audit Plus and TransAction Plus from FBS. The latter provide crop management and accounting functions. The modules are priced separately.
