PAM QA Plus is suitable for all "broad acre" farming - All crops from cotton to canola, beans to barley.

PAM QA Plus is suitable for all livestock operations and types including pastoralists ... from the Western Districts of Victoria to the West Kimberley... from the Cape Leeuwin to Cape York, PAM QA Plus is keeping track of mobs of cattle and sheep.

PAM is a complete Primary Production Recording System. Farmers at last have a tool, which will store and analyse all their paddock records simply and efficiently.

Paddocks are the basic units of farm production and profit. It makes sense that most farmers buy computers to analyse the differences between paddocks, so that they may improve their whole farm performance. Paddock records are difficult to keep manually and almost impossible to analyse, so that most farmers have tended to keep minimal records, but all farmers know the value of the information that escapes them as a result. The history of farm software is littered with attempts to produce farmer-friendly paddock recording systems. Tight margins in primary production are generating the demand to increase productivity by fine tuning inputs and operations.

PAM is the result and the solution, and at last gives farmers one place to enter and analyse all of their farm records.

Consultant Agronomists are very well catered for and able to value add with the professional PAM data management system.

Enterprise solutions are available for the corporate entity requiring a robust, secure and centralised data management system.

Additional features include:
