  • Discontinuation Of Productionwise

Discontinuation of ProductionWise

Productionwise

Access to ProductionWise® will cease on June 30 this year. This is the result of a decision by Regrow, the owners of ProductionWise®, to discontinue the platform.

Access to ProductionWise® will cease on June 30 this year. This is the result of a decision by Regrow, the owners of ProductionWise®, to discontinue the platform. This decision was relayed to us, by Regrow, on January 19 this year. Since then, we have been working with Regrow to develop a satisfactory ‘exit plan’ for our users.

Our key concern is ensuring that ProductionWise® users have the ability to export, save and permanently access all the records they have entered into the platform over the years. Regrow are working to develop clear instructions on how to do this, and these will be communicated to you in the coming days and weeks.

Key questions and answers:

  1. How long will ProductionWise® be working?
  2. The ProductionWise® platform will go off-line on June 30, 2024.
  3. How long do I have to enter information into ProductionWise®?
    • You can enter and save information into ProductionWise® until June 30, this year. This should allow you to complete all records linked to the 2023/24 harvest.
  4. What is the cut-off date for exporting and saving my information?
    • The cut-off date for exporting and saving information is also June 30, 2024.
  5. I’m not very computer savvy, will I be able to do this data export myself?
    • Regrow will provide clear, step-by-step instructions on how to export and save your data.
    • Regrow staff will be available to assist you with any questions or concerns. They can be contacted at support@regrow.ag
    • FAR staff will also provide support on how to work your way through the Regrow data export instructions and more information on this will be provided over the coming weeks.
  6. Will FAR be providing a replacement for ProductionWise®?
    • No, unfortunately FAR is not able to do that.
    • FAR staff will investigate the availability of alternative user-pays arable farm-recording systems and provide details in the coming weeks.
    • Regrow will also email ProductionWise® users information about an alternative, discounted user-pays, system.

We appreciate that this is not good news, and reiterate that we are working with Regrow to make this exit as smooth as possible.
