Raven Slingshot® is the preferred data management and logistics solution for agriculture operators across the world. Slingshot’s holistic suite of operations management software and tools syncs your agricultural operations across machines, offices, and devices. With its connectivity and logistics features, Slingshot will improve your ability to make informed decisions, reduce redundancies, avoid misapplications, and provide visibility across your entire fleet, fields, and jobs.

Enhance Farm Logistics and Operations

The information that Slingshot collects will provide you with a large range of dispatch, machine telematics, monitoring, and reporting information at your fingertips. You can use this data to make informed decisions and identify areas for improvement throughout the growing season and into harvest.

The ability to easily visualize and use your operations data creates efficiency at every step in the growing process. You can access Slingshot right from your computer, tablet, or mobile device to make operations decisions, track progress, and assign tasks in real time. Combined with a Field Hub 2.1 modem, you will be able to access your Slingshot data from inside the cab of your machine.

Manage Resource Demands from a Connected Platform

Real-time communication between Slingshot and integrated software applications standardizes data across machines and platforms. With Slingshot’s collaborative application program interface (API), you can connect to third-party organizations and integrated software platforms seamlessly. Then, whenever data is entered, it is automatically shared across devices, facilities, and stakeholders. No additional paperwork or follow-up phone calls are needed.

This integrated farm connectivity allows dispatchers and planners to get work orders entered earlier in the season, which relieves some of the busy-season stress. With API connections to various enterprise resource planning (ERP), farm management information systems (FMIS), invoicing, blending, and add-on software, Slingshot ensures all your data is consistent across all your devices and software.

Sync Your Connected Workflow® for 20% More Efficiency

Slingshot allows you to manage your complete operation from start to finish with real-time dispatching, insights, analytics, order creation, and reporting. These core capabilities further enhance accuracy and efficiency when integrated with a Viper® 4+ display or mobile tablet device and a connectivity modem (Field Hub 2.1 or RS1™) to form the Connected Workflow®.

The Connected Workflow allows jobs to sync from office to field computer and back again, maximizing efficiencies from work order dispatch through completion with real-time updates along the way.

Using the Connected Workflow to plan jobs, identify and reduce idle time, and streamline communication, custom applicators can:

Having the ability to create orders from anywhere saves us a lot of work time. A two-bin, two-person job used to involve 20-plus pieces of paperwork for us — now, it’s down to two, and could be virtually paperless thanks to Slingshot [AgSync].
