What’s new?
As a result of interviews with top growers worldwide and continuous testing,
we’ve increased the focus on optimization in the Production Module and Reports
Module.
These new improvements will help you to gain more insights into your targeted
growth strategy. The new release contains:
- New improvements to the Production Module for better harvest planning
- Improved view options in the Reports Module for better growth strategy analysis
Let’s zoom in on each improvement.
New improvements to the Production
Module for better harvest planning
The Production Module is one of the key modules of the program. It captures
historical growing data from multiple, other modules in order to generate a
yield prediction for the coming four weeks. Many users analyze the Production
Module to evaluate their set harvest strategy and adjust it when needed. In
order to prep you for the new growing
season, we’re going to introduce new options for:
- Improved output analysis of the registered production information
- Harvest benchmarking views in the current season
- Better quality analysis via the newly introduced KPI “Fruit Weight”
- Optimized view for total season overview

Thanks to the new, adapted views and new options for harvest registration, you can make better production analyses to see if you’re on track with your chosen harvest strategy. Overview of the new improvements:
-
e-Gro can quickly indicate whether there is a significant gap between what you’re planning to harvest and the predicted harvest. The closer these figures are, the better of course.
-
The new KPI ‘The Fruit Weight’ will give you more insights into the harvest quality and into the plant balance. Low fruit weight is an important indication of your set plant balance.
-
In addition, we also continuously improve the AI-driven Yield Forecaster so all the improvements will give you better insight into your harvest strategy. The latest modifications
will help you understand better your planned harvest moments and what is actually harvested. This data is key for optimal harvest prognoses. -
Next to this, via the option ‘Total Season Overview’, you can analyze your planned, actual and proposed harvest based on your total season overview. As this requests detail analysis of your harvest cycles, you can only view this option on your desktop or tablet view.
-
The improved user experience of the Production Module on your smartphone means the page is optimized for mobile usage.
How does it work?
To view your planned harvest, rework your harvest data via the +harvest button
in the Production Module (below KPIs). If you click on this button, you can
rework your realized harvest and the amount of harvest you’re planning for
next week.
When entering your planned harvest for next week: fill in the following
information the planned harvest, planned harvest area, and planned harvest
days. This new feature is optional. Once you’ve entered your data, e-Gro will
convert the figures into practical insights and automatic calculations such as
fruit weight based on the last harvest average and season average.
Tips on how to use the harvest registration:
- Try to register your actual harvest on the same day each week
- Add your harvest for next week
The fruit weight gives greater insight into the plant balance. Low fruit
weight is an important indication of your set plant balance.

Improved view options in the Reports Module for better growth strategy
analysis
Creating a report typically takes hours, multiple software tools, and gathering data from various sources. The completely new Reports Module now captures, saves and displays all your key information and data in one comprehensive week overview, linked to a specific crop type. No need for Excel or other tools; it’s now all-in-one! With our new, improved view options you can generate a better analysis of key growing data linked to a specific crop. The data can also be exported to PDF format for printing. The following updates have been implemented in the Reports Module:
How does it work and what’s your benefit?
Select via the new, user-friendly views, data that is important and relevant
to you.
Although working digitally is key, sometimes it’s handy to print out growing
information and discuss it with your team members or external crop advisors.
The new print option allows you to print growing reports and better steer your
growing strategy and advice based on reliable crop data.
