2023 Raven Slingshot®

Technology solutions that enhance efficiency, increase accuracy, minimize variability, and maximize your bottom line

Slingshot® is a suite of services that syncs the farm operations from the field to the office. With its connectivity and logistics features, Slingshot increases accuracy and visibility across all your machines, fields, and jobs. This connectivity provides a large range of real-time dispatch, information sharing, monitoring, and reporting analytics to increase accuracy and efficiency — right from your computer, tablet, or cell phone.

Features may include:

• With Slingshot, you can see the exact locations and statuses of every piece of equipment to precisely and accurately manage your fleet. Send custom workorders and detailed prescriptions to each machine with ease. Prevent dual applications in the field with multi-machine job sharing, allowing two or more machines to work — either simultaneously or before/after an interruption — without overlapping or redoing work.

• Slingshot captures and stores all your application and agronomic data. Easily access information from current and previous jobs to make better, more lucrative operational decisions for future jobs. Job and machine analytics information, such as including application rate, gallons of fuel and product used, machine idle time, and acres covered, are stored for seamless mobile access from anywhere; empowering you to make real-time data-driven decisions that gain real efficiencies.

• Slingshot provides detailed, real-time machine information including total working hours, idle time, field/road transit time, acres traveled, to help you monitor and supply your fleet. For example, if your operator is working in a field and is running low on product, you can automatically see that from the office and send a tender driver out exactly when they need it. Using telematics effectively reduces downtime, ensuring every minute counts in the field.

• Know immediately when work is completed so you can reallocate that machine or person to another job. They don’t have to come back to the office to report exactly what they finished. Redispatch machines and operators if weather changes when someone finishes. Manage your assets real-time as conditions change – centralizing your dispatching. Increasing your revenue by moving the right people and product to the right place and the right time.

• Slingshot web and mobile apps facilitate communication and employee management tools with 24/7 connectivity to customers, partners, and employees. Create and share your job statuses with operators, machines, customers, and external stakeholders in real-time.

• Ag retailers are seeing an average of 20% more efficiency when they use Raven’s Connected Workflow™ solutions in their operations, syncing their office to the field and then back again. Through work order generation, product application, and invoice creation, everything runs faster and more precisely than ever before thanks to the integration of Raven’s suite of AgSync™, Slingshot, and Viper® 4+. Our Connected Workflow™ solutions are designed to work together as well as with your existing systems to create a closed loop and seamless process.

• The aerial applicator’s Connected Workflow™ with Slingshot ensures a simple process from planning and work order generation to field application and invoice creation.
