PAM Versions & Capabilities
PAM - In a nutshell - Process, Analyse & Manage your important farm records
Fairport's flagship product PAM, enables you to record virtually any farm records you can imagine. We cover cropping of almost any type you can grow, livestock of any type (down to individual animal records if you want), machinery, general farm overheads, irrigation - all with costs incurred and income received to give you a myriad of reports (several hundred) to help you manage better.
All that plus quality assurance to the minor detail (if you want it), weather recording & analysis, soil, tissue and other laboratory analysis results, farm mapping, precision farming data analysis and variable rate control maps... PAM and it's modules do pretty much everything you would want a farm management package to do except accounting ... and for PAM Enterprise clients, we can even offer interfacing with accounting packages.
PocketPAM2 - In a nutshell - Collect your important farm records at the source
Collect data on the go for all cropping and livestock activities & weather & more... to send back to your PAM database (wherever that may be).
