Herdwatch launches app to help contractors get paid faster

Every contractor knows the feeling. The silage is in, the slurry is spread and the hedges are cut. Weeks later, half the jobs still haven't been invoiced and nobody is quite sure who has paid.

Jobs scribbled in a diary. Details lost in text messages. Balances worked out at the kitchen table at midnight. Every job that goes unbilled is money left in the field.

Herdwatch, the Roscrea-based farm management app used on more than 20,000 farms across Ireland and the UK, has launched a Contractor App built to fix exactly that.

Black Friday offer: a full year for €360

For November only, contractors can get a year of the Herdwatch Contractor App for €360, down from €500.

That's €140 off, and for most contractors a single forgotten job would cover the cost.

Know what you're owed. Get paid faster

Log the job, see the balance, send the invoice, record the payment.

Four simple steps, all done from the field while the details are fresh.

  • Log jobs on the spot: Pick the customer, add the work and enter the amount;
  • See who owes what: Every customer's running balance, updated instantly;
  • Invoice the same day: Send it from the field, not weeks later from the office;
  • Settle queries there and then: Show a clear statement of every job and payment;
  • Get paid online: Attach a pay-by-link to any invoice, or send one straight to the customer;
  • Track part payments: Every payment set against what is owed;
  • No signal? No problem: Works offline on your phone, tablet or PC.

With pay by link, customers can settle an invoice online the moment it lands, so there is no more waiting on a cheque in the post.

Built for every kind of contractor

Silage, baling, hedge cutting, slurry, harvesting, spraying, groundwork or road sweeping, whether you work alone or run a busy team.

The Contractor App is backed by Herdwatch, used on more than 20,000 farms across Ireland and the UK.

Ahead of the FTMTA show

Contractors heading to the FTMTA show will be weighing up serious investment in new machinery.

Making sure every hour that machinery works gets billed and paid matters just as much.

Getting started takes no effort. The Herdwatch team sets up your account with you over a quick call, so you're ready to log your first job straight away.

Don't miss the Black Friday price.
