Grupo A.: soybeans and beans in Formosa (GO), from pest scouting to work orders with inventory
How Grupo A., in Formosa (GO), started with pest scouting in 2023 and moved work orders with inventory to upCampo, integrated with Siagri, across 8,000 hectares.
By upCampo
Grupo A. grows soybeans and beans on about 8,000 hectares in Formosa, in the Brazilian state of Goiás (GO). The group found upCampo through the app store in 2023, started with pest scouting on up.Monitora and recently moved its work orders, including inventory movements, to up.Operações — all integrated with the Siagri ERP. When the group bought an orange farm, the new crop came into the same database.
A team that had already tried a lot
Before upCampo, the group used several apps. It’s a team open to innovation that found upCampo on its own through the app store and is now a partner in the product’s evolution.
Start with one module and grow in stages
First step: pest scouting
The group started with up.Monitora. Setting up scouting follows an order: pest classes and pests, the action thresholds the farm sets for each crop, data collection in the app and reading the results on the scouting dashboard — the roadmap is in the pest scouting quick guide. If you’re at this stage, the method is in how to do pest scouting (IPM).
Second step: work orders with inventory
With scouting up and running, the group moved field operations to up.Operações. Each work order records the fields, products, machine and crew, and the product used moves inventory from the activity itself. In the inventory write-off for crop work orders, the warehouse keeper writes off several orders at once, noting where the product came from and who took it.
Since the group already had its fields and pests set up, the second module didn’t start from scratch.
Who runs it
The digital agriculture coordinator is responsible for operational organization within the platform: planning activities, configuring processes and following how the team uses it. On the administrative side, the group’s administrator and accountant is a partner in farm management discussions.
Integration with Siagri
The Siagri ERP stays in the office, and upCampo handles the operation. The two systems exchange data, and the mapping between records — a field or product with a different name in each system — is set up once.
When oranges came in
When the group bought an orange farm, upCampo made adjustments to handle the new crop in the same database. For perennial crops, and oranges in particular, the work order calculation changes — which is why there are dedicated settings, described in Perennial crop – Work order.
UPí
The team has already run its first tests with UPí, upCampo’s artificial intelligence that answers on WhatsApp. Its potential grows as more of the operation goes into the platform: UPí answers based on what’s recorded.
Who this case is for
Grain farms that want to start with one module — usually pest scouting — and grow in stages, keeping the ERP in the office. See pricing by module.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start using upCampo with pest scouting only?
Yes. Grupo A., in Formosa (GO), started in 2023 with up.Monitora alone, the pest scouting module, and later moved its work orders with inventory to up.Operações, reusing the fields and records already in the platform.
Do upCampo work orders move inventory?
Yes. The product entered on the work order moves inventory from the activity itself, and the warehouse keeper can write off several orders at once, noting where it came from and who took it. That’s how Grupo A. works across its roughly 8,000 hectares of soybeans and beans in Formosa (GO).
Does upCampo support soybeans and beans?
Yes. Grupo A. uses upCampo on about 8,000 hectares of soybeans and beans in Formosa (GO), with pest scouting and work orders. Each crop has its own setup for what gets measured in the field.
Does upCampo work with perennial crops, such as oranges?
Yes. For perennial crops the work order calculation changes, and upCampo has dedicated settings for that, with fields such as row and plant spacing. Grupo A. added an orange farm to the same database where it already managed soybeans and beans.
Does upCampo integrate with Siagri on grain farms?
Yes. Grupo A., in Formosa (GO), uses upCampo for its soybean and bean operation, integrated with Siagri (Aliare), which stays in the office. Records with different names in the two systems are linked by a mapping set up once.
