The biggest event on the farming calendar is fast approaching and we hope to see you there! Mystery Creek Fieldays runs from 15-18 June, and we're excited to once again be on a premier site alongside our key partner, Xero, who are demonstrating their commitment to supporting the rural sector as a principal Fieldays sponsor this year.

Rural business is the the backbone of the New Zealand economy, and the four-day Fieldays event is an opportunity to support and celebrate all things agriculture. It's a highlight for many, providing a chance to connect with others in the rural community, check out the latest on-farm innovations and support other rural businesses. While honouring the heritage of farming in New Zealand is central to the event, Fieldays also focuses on the future and the advancement of agribusiness. This year, event organisers are introducing a brand new careers hub to inspire young visitors and provide them with insight into the varying careers paths in the primary sector.

The theme for Fieldays 2016 is Collaborate to Accelerate Innovation. This aligns nicely with Figured’s own product vision, which supports the idea that collaborative relationships are essential for managing a profitable farming business, and that innovative technology should be leveraged to do so.

With this collaborative approach in mind, we’ll also be supporting our banking partners, ASB and BNZ, with a presence on their stands at Fieldays. If you’re an ASB or BNZ customer and you’re interested in getting started with Figured, head along to their stands to find out more about how you can pick up a FREE Figured subscription. There will be bank managers on-site to take you through the details.

What’s on-site for existing users?

Existing customers will be excited to hear that we will be previewing our scenario planning tool, which will provide farming teams with the ability to assess different opportunities quickly, without having to complete a full cashflow budget. Come along for a catch up and a demo with our team.
