What is it?

The Orchardist's Friend is a software package intended to speed up the time consuming, daily process of counting boxes and lugs for each individual picker. Gone are the days when you had to make hashmarks and try to keep track of tickets and picker numbers. This easy to use system allows the office to track and count their picker tickets in real time, providing daily, weekly and seasonal reports with a few keystrokes!

Is it hard to use?

If you can hold a scanner and press a button, you can use The Orchardist's Friend. Originally designed at the request of a small cherry orchard in Wenatchee, Washington, The Orchardist's Friend is now a software solution that you can easily have up and running for a price that won't break your budget!
