Pay pickers by the pound with certified accuracy
Replace punch cards and estimated bucket weights with NTEP-certified digital scales. Every pick is weighed, recorded, and linked to the picker instantly—fair pay for growers and harvest crews alike.
Why growers switch to pay-by-weight
Digital scales eliminate the guesswork of estimated bucket weights and the hassle of paper punch cards. Here's what changes.
NTEP-certified, legal-for-trade
Pay by the pound with certified accuracy. Container tare weights are removed automatically—you pay only for the exact weight of produce picked, not an estimate.
Eliminate overpayments
One grower discovered $20,000/week in overpayments because estimated blueberry bucket weights exceeded actual warehouse weights by 40,000 pounds. Certified scale data stops this.
Field receipts for every pick
Thermal printers produce receipts instantly after each weigh-in. Pickers see their weight, running total, and piece-rate earnings—reducing disputes and building trust.
Multilingual voice commands
Voice prompts in English, Spanish, and Portuguese guide pickers through every weigh-in. Critical for H-2A crews and multilingual harvest teams.
GPS-tagged for traceability
Every pick is recorded with GPS location, time, picker ID, and optional container RFID tag. Complete chain of custody from field to cooler for FSMA compliance.
Automated payroll exports
Harvest data flows directly into ADP, Paychex, QuickBooks, or your payroll system. Minimum wage flags and break pay calculations included—no manual entry.
