Grow IT – May 2024

Hello

I’m writing from Fresno California, where I’m picking up tips and tricks on both horticulture and software, American-style. Next stop is Melbourne for Hort Connections, where I’m really looking forward to catching up with as many of you as possible.

ABCquality

Our new QA/QC system for online recording and viewing of checklists and assessments is now live. Designed with the needs of the packhouse in mind, ABCquality is equally applicable to any industry. Swing by our stand at Hort Connections or contact us to find our more.

Changes to the PALM Scheme

From July 1 2024, PALM scheme workers in Australia must receive 30 hours of work per week. There are similar requirements for RSE workers in NZ. Did you know you can record ‘info-only’ activities in ABCgrower? This means you can keep a record where work was offered, but not undertaken, as evidence you are meeting your obligations.

Latest Enhancements

ABCgrower App

ABCgrower App

Last year we migrated ABCgrower Web on to a new framework and took the opportunity to give it a facelift at the same time.

We are currently undertaking an equivalent project for ABCgrower App. This will be released over winter, ready for next season. Check out the pic for a sneak peak at its new look.
