As part of our continuing effort to keep customers updated about our software we have conducted a week of seminars in the first week of December 2006. The 16th Annual TIGER JILL & P.E.T Tiger conference was held, at the Shaw Piccadilly Inn - 2305 W. Shaw Ave. Fresno, CA. Hundreds of users from all over the country attended three sessions: 12-05-06 for growers, shippers, packers, consultants, nurseries and agribusiness. 12-06-06 covers (Payroll Employee Tracking) PET Tiger applies to all users. 12-07-06 for applicators, management companies, labor contractors and retailers.
Microsoft® .NET
Our development team demonstrated the latest PET Tiger implementation with .NET true object-oriented software. Microsoft® .NET is a set of software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices.
The digital revolution has made life a lot easier and more productive for growers, consultants, applicators, and other agribusiness. All important activities in agriculture production (such as setting up and maintaining a pesticide application, fertilization, irrigation, labor, harvest, mapping and more) are now done with the click of a button, and the Internet and e-mail have become key aspects of most operations.
But what happens when you need to gather information in the field, and take it home or to the office? In many cases, you still have to take notes manually and gather them together so you can input them. Fortunately, there are options. Using a variety of handheld devices, you can take down information while they are in the field, orchard or vineyard. At the end of the day, you can go home and transfer the information from this handheld to your home or office computer.
Orange Enterprises, Inc is leading the charge in actively helping growers find and effectively implement handheld computers into their business. Based in Fresno, CA - the company specializes since 1984 in software development. The company provides development, training and support for growers venturing into the world of portable technology.
According to Udi Sosnik, marketing director of Orange Enterprises, Inc. “the company's best software products is its hand held .Net - Pocket Jill & PET Tiger on a pocket PC platform”. This programs are perhaps most practical because of their functionality. Sosnik put in plain words “As you are scouting your fields or executing a work order you can engage in all record keeping and labor tracking as well as sending and receiving data in real time”. Your hand held can also be helpful for - calendar and contact information storage, a daily task list function, your cell phone and the ability to run most Microsoft programs, including Word and Excel. There are also features created by Orange to assist in capturing images as part of your record as well as full incorporation of bar-code and RFID technology.
