Figured supports production tracking for dairy, livestock, cropping, and mixed farming operations.

Accountants can set their clients up with a variety of trackers designed specifically for each major farm type in New Zealand. For example, the Milk Tracker is built to capture monthly kgMS figures. The Livestock Tracker records stock movements. The Crop Tracker handles seasonal activity down to the field and crop type level. Plus Inventory Trackers help you track stock on hand and create valuations based on current data.

From here, production quantities across all farm types connect directly to the year’s budget and live cashflow data from Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks Online, linking on-farm activity to real financial performance in one platform.

In Figured, budgets are built in the Planning Grid as month-by-month financial plans that bring together production quantities (from your various trackers) plus income and cost.

During the year, as your various production trackers are updated, the data feeds immediately back into the Planning Grid, transforming forecasts into actuals in the same view. Accountants can see where production is tracking against the budget at any point in the season, with the financial impact of any variance already visible in the plan.

Then, when it comes time to create next year’s budget, it’s easy to rollover the prior year’s actuals so you’re not building from scratch.

Many farmers around New Zealand have their data sync automatically from the production apps they use each day — like AgriWebb, FarmIQ, Trev, or Agworld.

Figured also syncs with a variety of other key data streams, like major milk processors, meat processors, and even the IRD.

Where an integration isn’t available or supported, data can still be entered manually — something which is considerably simpler in Figured than maintaining old spreadsheets or paper records. Once a number’s in Figured, it flows through to the Planning Grid and updates the financial plan automatically, keeping the production and financial pictures current in the same step.

Yes. Figured supports clients with multiple farms under the same practice relationship, each with its own production trackers, financial plan, and reporting.

For mixed-enterprise farms with both livestock and cropping activity, Figured tracks both enterprise types in a single farm file, and production quantities from each connect to the relevant part of the financial plan.

Where a client also runs non-farming commercial entities alongside the farming operation, Commercial Manager handles those within the same platform. The consolidated picture stays current across the whole client relationship, not just the farming side.

The national benchmark report is available to firms with Figured Insights enabled.

Those users can access the national benchmark report directly in Reporting Studio under Custom Reports, which pulls the data from your eligible dairy clients’ files automatically.

For custom benchmark pools, head to the Benchmarking tab, add your farms, set your filters, and Figured builds the comparison. Figured fully anonymises and aggregates all benchmarking data, so no individual farm, firm, or client is identifiable.
