Automation · Agriculture

On the farm, every record is findable before the inspector is at the door.

Digitalization in agriculture rarely fails because of the farm software itself, but because of the gaps between terminal, notepad and office. NordFlux connects your field record system, your email inbox and your filing so that fertilizer and plant protection documentation, receipts and deadlines automatically end up in the right place. Your operational data stays with you, hosting in Germany is possible.

The Problem

The field keeps running, the paperwork piles up in the office.

During the day, tractors and crews are out in the field; in the evening a stack of delivery notes, terminal printouts and notes piles up on the kitchen table. What isn't recorded right away is missing later, exactly when the application or an inspection asks for it.

  • 01Field records get filled in after work from notes and memory, fertilizer and plant protection applications sit for days and can hardly be cleanly assigned to the right field afterward.
  • 02The subsidy application eats up whole days in spring because areas, land use and receipts have to be gathered from farm software, folders and emails.
  • 03Documentation obligations from the fertilizer ordinance, plant protection records and livestock counts run side by side with their own deadlines; one missed report can cost subsidies or compliance status.
  • 04Inputs such as seed, fertilizer, diesel and plant protection products are managed by word of mouth; when matching delivery notes or doing inventory, there's no overview of actual stock.
Use Cases
01

What we actually automate on agricultural operations.

Five office-side workflows that get left behind on almost every farm. Each one can be implemented individually, with your existing farm software and without anyone having to learn something completely new.

01

Field records without the evening shift

Fertilizer and plant protection applications are recorded via a simple form or from the terminal export and automatically assigned to the right field and date. The record is created on the day of the activity, not weeks later from memory. That way the field record is complete at any time for an inspection.

Savings 2–4 h per week
02

Preparing the subsidy application all year round

The area register, land use and the corresponding receipts are collected in one place throughout the year and prepared for the subsidy application, instead of gathering them in spring. The system reminds you in time of the annual application deadline. We deliver the clean data foundation, the actual application advice stays with your advisor or the chamber of agriculture.

Effect No more spring stress
03

Deadline and documentation monitoring

Fertilizer requirement calculation, nutrient flow balance, plant protection records and livestock/HIT reports are shown with their deadlines in one overview. The system reminds you before a deadline is missed, instead of you having to keep every regulation in your head. A forgotten report is no longer only noticed during an inspection.

Effect No missed report
04

Input and warehouse management

Delivery notes for fertilizer, seed, diesel and plant protection products are recorded, stock is updated and minimum stock levels are flagged. Inventory, nutrient balance and field records draw on the same figures, instead of everyone keeping their own list. You can see at any time what's actually in the warehouse and in the tank.

Savings 1–2 h per week
05

Filing receipts from grain trade, dairy and slaughterhouse

Weighbridge and silo receipts, delivery notes, contracts and statements from grain traders, dairies or slaughterhouses are automatically captured, assigned to the right transaction and filed in order. At month end, a complete, sorted stack goes to accounting or the agricultural bookkeeping office. Nobody searches for a single delivery note among five folders anymore.

Savings Bookkeeping without searching
Tools

Automation with the systems already running on the farm.

We don't set up a new isolated solution next to your field record system. We connect farm software, email and filing so that data only has to be entered once and then ends up in the right place by itself.

Connector
n8n as the hub, hosted in Germany

n8n connects your field record system, email inbox and filing, and can be run on a server in Germany on request. It handles receipt capture, deadline monitoring and field assignment without anyone having to click. This way your operational data stays in your hands.

Office standard
Microsoft 365, Power Automate and SharePoint

Many operations already calculate and write with Outlook, Excel and Teams. Power Automate connects these via ready-made connectors for Office 365 Outlook and SharePoint, for example to capture incoming receipts, obtain approvals and file reports automatically. We build the workflows on top of what you already have.

Overview
Process automation by NordFlux

Which workflow comes first is decided by your bottleneck, not the tool. We work tool-agnostic, so with n8n, Power Automate or UiPath depending on the use case, not according to a partner program. On the overview page you can see how we analyze, prioritize and automate processes at a fixed price.

How we work

The 30-day model.

From the initial analysis to ongoing automation in 30 days, at a fixed price instead of an open-ended timesheet.

1

Free initial analysis

60 minutes, no obligation. We go through your workflow from the activity in the field to the record in the folder and find the process that costs you the most time or subsidies.

2

Concept and fixed price

You get a proposal with a fixed scope and a fixed price. It states which systems we connect and what runs automatically in the end, with no open-ended timesheets.

3

Implementation in 30 days

We build the automation and test it with your real receipts and fields. The operation keeps running completely normally, even during the season.

4

Handover and control

You receive documentation and training, every process is traceable. You keep control and can keep working yourself, instead of depending on us.

When communication is the bottleneck

Not the paperwork, but the phone eating up your time?

Inquiries from grain traders, contractors and customers often take up more time than the record-keeping. If that's your actual bottleneck, an AI agent that takes in and pre-sorts standard inquiries is worth more than pure process automation.

Free Initial Analysis

Which record is costing you the most evening hours right now?

In the free initial analysis (60 minutes, no obligation) we go through your workflows between field, terminal and office. Afterward you'll know what pays off first and what it costs at a fixed price.

  • Fixed price instead of an open-ended timesheet
  • Your operational data stays in your systems, hosting in Germany possible
  • You keep control and can keep working yourself
Frequently Asked Questions
05

What farmers often ask.

Do we need to switch our field record system for digitalization?

No. We automate around your existing farm software, your email inbox and your filing. Digitalization on agricultural operations rarely fails because of the software itself, but because of the gaps between terminal, notepad and office, and that's exactly what we close.

Do you handle the subsidy application or collective application?

We prepare the data foundation, not the application itself. We collect areas, land use and receipts in one place throughout the year, so the gathering in spring is no longer necessary. The actual application advice stays with your advisor or the chamber of agriculture, we deliver the clean groundwork.

How does automation help with the fertilizer ordinance and plant protection documentation?

The record is created on the day of the activity instead of weeks later from memory: fertilizer and plant protection applications are captured and assigned to the field, deadlines for fertilizer requirements and balances are monitored. The system alerts you before a deadline is missed. We ensure gapless documentation, the technical assessment stays with you and your advisor.

Does our operational data stay with us?

Yes. n8n can be run on a server in Germany, so your operational, area and yield data stays in your hands. We work with a data processing agreement to GDPR standard. You keep control over your data and over every automated process.

What does digitalization cost for an agricultural operation?

We work at a fixed price: after the free initial analysis you get a quote with a fixed price and fixed scope. Typically the first building block is implemented within 30 days, after that you decide whether and where to continue. Whether funding is available for your operation, we clarify in the initial conversation, instead of promising it here.
