Integrate, don't rip-and-replace. Moba & Ovotrack printouts are uploaded as files (like invoices); paper forms become digital tablet input. Sunrise keeps its proven kit β€” Agrova OS becomes the layer that connects it.

Orders & Dispatch

Order management currently lives in Word documents. Here it's structured: each line maps a production code to its invoicing code automatically, and depot delivery dockets (Brakes / Lidl) generate on dispatch.

Document Turnover

Sunrise runs on roughly 30 recurring documents β€” paper sheets re-keyed into spreadsheets, printouts passed by hand. Here is every document we found in the folder, what it costs in friction, and what it becomes. Nothing is thrown away; each one is absorbed.

Today β€” paper / Excel, manual Agrova OS β€” digital, connected Sequenced: scan first (week 1), digital forms next, automation last.

Phasing. Week 1 is the lowest-risk win β€” scan existing paper straight into the system (open the Field app to try it). Forms then go fully digital on tablets shed-by-shed. Automation (alerts, auto-dockets, code mapping) layers on last, once data is flowing. No equipment is replaced β€” Moba & Ovotrack stay, Agrova OS connects them.

Tablet β€” for the packing centre

A wall-mounted or handheld tablet at Kettleby, sized for the grading line and goods-out bay. Bigger targets than the office, more room than a phone.

  • Sign-in at the bay. Lorries bar-scanned into Ovotrack as they arrive.
  • Grade live. Moba PX500 figures stream in; upload the ticket to close the batch.
  • Reconcile on the spot. The traceability matrix flags mismatches before dispatch.

Field app β€” for the shed & packing floor

The same data the office sees, captured at the point of work on a tablet or phone. Big touch targets, works one-handed in the shed, syncs the moment there's signal.

  • Enter once. A shed record typed here lands instantly in the Command Centre β€” no re-keying.
  • Scan to start. Week-1 adoption: photograph the paper form you already use; OCR fills the fields.
  • Sign-off trail. Every task carries who and when β€” the audit trail builds itself.
  • Trace at source. The Ovotrack ticket is linked where the eggs are packed, not reconciled later.
