A work tracker 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.
Say what has to get done this week and the work tracker turns it into cards: one owner each, a due date, the truck, site or machine it touches, and the goal it moves. Your team moves the cards; the weekly review reads them.

Questions your team can ask Bifrost

Bifrost answers from the records in your own workspace and shows how each number was worked out.
How it runs
Work tracker, step by step
- Tell us the goal that matters most this quarter, in your words.
- We set up the board with you: your people, your assets and the recurring jobs you already run.
- Each action becomes a card with one owner, a due date and the assets it touches.
- Every week we review the board with you: what moved, what slipped and what's next.
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.
- Consistency: Will this still be useful next week? We design AI into the daily system: the Console, the toolkits and the career plan people come back to, with customer success that follows up.

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.
Is this another project-management app my crew has to learn?
No. The tracker holds only the actions behind the goals you set with us, each tied to a person and an asset you already have. We add your team, set up the first cards with you and review the board every week, so nobody has to build it alone.
Can cards come from what we already track in spreadsheets?
Yes. In week 1 we take in the spreadsheets or system exports you already keep and turn the recurring jobs in them into cards, with a written list of what was there and what was missing.
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.
