An asset register and map for farms and agribusinesses
The goal: Get the right work done in the right window, keep equipment ready for the season, and know the cost of each field.
Your sites, vehicles, equipment and people go into one asset register (Vulcan), imported from the files you already keep, and onto one map of the United States (Talos). Every asset has an owner, and every card and KPI can point to the asset it's about.
What you see

What it looks like for farms and agribusinesses
The KPIs, cards and questions below are examples of what we set up with you. The names and units are made up.
KPIs, with the assumption behind each
Cards on the work tracker
- Service the sprayer before the fall application windowShop lead · due Fri · Sprayer 2
- Complete pesticide safety training for the two seasonal hiresFarm manager · due Mon · Crew: seasonal
- Check bin 4 moisture and aerationGrain lead · due Wed · Bin 4
Records you already keep
- Field and crop records
- Equipment service records
- Input purchase records (seed, fertilizer, chemicals)
- Worker training records
Assets in the register
- Fields and farm sites
- Tractors, combines and sprayers
- Storage bins and sheds
- Crew members
Questions your team can ask Bifrost
- Which fields cost the most per acre last season?
- Which machines haven't been serviced since last harvest?
- Whose pesticide safety training expires before spring?
Bifrost answers from the records in your own workspace and shows how each number was worked out.
How it runs
Asset register and map, step by step
- Send the list you already keep: a spreadsheet of sites, units and equipment is enough to start.
- We import it into the register and show you what's there and what's missing.
- Your sites and assets go on one map, with an owner for each one from your organization chart.
- Cards in the work tracker and KPIs on the brief point to the assets they're about, so you can follow a problem to the asset behind it.
The barriers this crosses
- Use: What exactly would I use it for? We name the specific uses by role and by industry: the decision, the calculation, the plan, the brief.
- Capability: How do I use it, what do I install, and who do I call? We curate the tools, set them up, teach them in plain language and stay reachable.

Common questions
Does this replace our farm management software?
No. It reads what you already keep, from spreadsheets or exports, and puts the season's goals, equipment and work in one place with a weekly review.
Does the map show GPS positions from our trucks or machines?
Not yet. Positions on the map come from your records (addresses, yards, job sites and the locations you keep). Connected GPS tracking isn't released yet, and we'll say so plainly until it is.
What if our asset list is messy?
That's normal. We import what you have, then give you a written list of gaps, duplicates and assets with no owner, and fix it with you in week 3.
What does Watch Tower cost for farms and agribusinesses?
Founding 10 covers setup and the first 3 months in one payment, then a monthly price; the numbers are on this page and on the pricing page inside the demo. Hardware implementation is quoted separately.
