Case Study: Precision Spray Service achieves mobile, time-saving spray recordkeeping with SYWARE's Visual CE

Database Application Helps Crop Spraying Go Mobile

Precision Spray Service, operated by Burkhart Ledeboer, is a mobile crop‑spraying business in Oregon that must keep detailed, state‑required records for every field. To avoid paper forms and nightly re‑entry, Ledeboer built a Pocket PC application using Visual CE database development software from SYWARE to capture weather, chemicals, GPS coordinates, crop conditions, billing details and notes while working in the field.

Using SYWARE's Visual CE, he implemented a six‑part mobile form that synchronizes both directions with a Microsoft Access desktop, automatically updates items like chemical lists, and produces work orders and invoices. The solution saves an estimated one to two hours of data‑entry each evening, reduces duplicate‑entry errors, provides four years of searchable records for compliance and billing, and streamlines multi‑site operations.
