TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods: Making the smart connected farm work in practice

From planning to action without the admin burden

For most UK farmers, the problem isn’t a lack of data. The real hurdle is turning it into something that’s actionable without adding more systems, duplication or paperwork.

A Smart Connected Farm isn't about more technology. It’s about making your existing tools talk to each other. It links your agronomy, your operational activity, your machinery and your financial performance into one straightforward workflow.

By creating a direct link between Contour and TELUS Crop Management, we’ve bridged the gap between your agronomy and your operations.

TELUS Crop Management: Built on names you know

Our roots in the UK run deep. We’ve taken the trusted foundations of Gatekeeper and Greenlight Farm Management (Muddy Boots) and evolved them into a single, modern platform.

For your team, this means no more jumping between disconnected apps or entering the same data more than once. From the first seed to the final harvest record, everyone sees the same picture.

The digital handshake: TELUS Crop Management & Contour Integration

Data only has value if it is accurate and easy to access. That’s why we’ve built a "digital handshake" with Agrii.

In Agrii’s "Smart Connected Farm" framework, these two systems work in tandem to cover every angle of your season:

The Science (Contour): This is your home for precision planning. It’s where Agrii’s research, satellite imagery and variable rate mapping live. You and your agronomist use Contour to decide the "how much" and the "where."

The Action (TELUS Crop Management): This is your hub for getting the job done. It handles your Red Tractor audits, SFI records and live financial margins. It’s where the "science" of the plan becomes the "reality" of the field.

We’ve cut out the re-typing. By enabling real-time sharing between Contour and TELUS Crop Management, your agronomist’s recommendations flow directly into your workflow.

What does this mean for you?

• No more "Data Islands": Stop jumping between multiple logins or trying to remember which app has the right map.
• Accuracy by default: Eliminate the risk of manual errors. When the plan moves digitally, the precision stays intact.
• Total control: We’ve built the connection, but you hold the keys. You have the freedom to build the digital setup that fits your farm, while your data remains private, secure and entirely yours.
  

Upgrading to the Next Generation of farm management software

We know that your farm records are the "memory" of your business. Moving to a new system shouldn't feel like a risk – it should feel like finally getting the tools you’ve been waiting for.

Here is how we make the step up to TELUS Crop Management simple, secure and rewarding:

• A seamless upgrade: If you have an active subscription to Gatekeeper or TELUS Farm Management (also known as Greenlight), your upgrade to TELUS Crop Management is included. We believe in rewarding loyalty by giving you the best technology we’ve ever built.
• Your history, protected: Don't leave your hard-earned data behind. You can migrate up to 10 years of your historical records from Gatekeeper or TELUS Farm Management. You keep your field history, your trends and your peace of mind.
• The Agrii advantage: Currently, as the only farm management software that integrates directly with Contour, we’ve removed the friction between you and your agronomist. No more emailing PDFs or manual data entry - your precision plans flow straight into your operational workflow for immediate action. It’s real-time collaboration that actually works.
• Backed by a 250-person strong UK team: We aren’t a distant tech company; we are on the ground. Our local team focuses on regional product development and support. This means our tools are built specifically for the UK’s unique weather, soil and regulatory challenges (like SFI and Nutrient Management).

Turning data into margin

A connected farm must be a profitable farm. TELUS Crop Management helps you translate complex data into actionable financial insights.

• Audit-ready compliance: Whether it’s Red Tractor, SFI, or environmental reporting, our platform automates record-keeping. You stay "audit-ready" with minimal effort.
• Financial visibility: With volatile input costs, we provide real-time visibility into gross margins and cost-per-hectare. This helps you make more informed purchasing and marketing decisions.
•  Future-proofing: Our platform evolves alongside you. Our growing toolset includes the recently launched UK Nutrient Management module and ongoing development of advanced Label Verification capabilities - helping you stay ahead of changing regulations.

The future in the cab

The future of the cab isn't about more screens; it's about less friction. We’re bridging the gap between Contour’s precision insights and the actual work on the ground.

Through TELUS Crop Management, we are creating a closed-loop system: work instructions flow out to your machines wirelessly, and data flows back in automatically.

This is the roadmap to the autonomous farm – using advanced sensing and machine learning to take the "admin" out of agriculture. Join us at Cereals in June to see how we’re making "low-touch" farming a high-impact reality for your business.
