Manage purchases online

Each time that you track a purchase online or on the mobile app, Trimble Ag Software automatically calculates your total inventory and expenses by crop year, with the option to transfer balances to the following crop year. When you enter a purchase, the product is automatically listed in your Materials tab online, where you can continue filling in the materials profile to capture application rates and product safety details, as needed.
