Customer Reviews

Upgraded from Crop Manager to GateKeeper

Author: J Prescott, Date: June 21, 2011

Gatekeeper is far more flexible than Crop Manager, with easy editing in most screens. Having overcome a new harvest year with ease, we are now getting to grips with reporting. This is great as I can make the reports read how our manager likes. All in all - so glad we went down this particular road. We would not go back.

Sentinal Active GateKeeper module

Author: R Cottis, Date: June 21, 2011

Our “Sentinel Active” module is a massive help when it comes to filling in the boxes for ACCS inspections, and it saves me time and ultimately money. The clear worksheet printouts are extremely well laid out, with no duplicated information, leaving room for all the HSE and LERAP requirements. Retrieving data, and turning it into useful information is literally done at the click of a button. Even the computer illiterate could use Gatekeeper

Upgraded from Crop Mngr to GateKeeper software

Author: E Nesling, Date: June 22, 2011

The time saving on records is massive and also takes out the repetitiveness and monotony. Having the pesticide list saves more time and importantly gives reassurance. You can tailor it to how far you want to go with it. From basic records to in depth field margins, and future crop viability. I would recommend Gatekeeper to any other farmer, purely on its flexibility to do as much or as little as you wish.

GateKeeper

Author: P Carrot, Date: June 28, 2011

I found Gatekeeper very simple to set up, and received very good support, including our 'in house' training. We opted for the Palm handheld, allowing me to do all planning and recording on the move. I simply connect it to the computer, which imports all the record. This saves time and also removes a lot of the paper trail.
