Sound familiar?

The season does not wait for repairs.

Breakdowns come at peak season

The harvester was put away last autumn without a proper service. It fails on the second day of harvest, with the crop standing in the field.

Irrigation pumps fail unnoticed

A pump at the far block stops overnight. Nobody logged its last service, and the crop goes a day without water in the heat.

The right part is missing

The belt or bearing you need was used last month and never reordered. The machine waits while someone drives to the dealer.

How Solmex fixes it

One system for the farm, from the field to the packhouse.

Prepare

Service machines before the season

Set plans for tractors, harvesters, sprayers and pumps by run hours or dates. Solmex shows what is due before the season, and the team works through one clear list.

Respond

Report a fault from the field

A driver or a pump attendant scans the QR label and reports the fault with a photo. The workshop sees which machine and where, and downtime is counted from that moment.

Faults reported by QR code, no account
Downtime measured automatically
Repeat faults visible per machine

Stock

Have the parts before you need them

Filters, belts and bearings are kept in stock by location. Each part issued is recorded against the machine, and Solmex warns you when stock runs low before the season.

Your numbers

What is unplanned downtime costing you?

Move the sliders to match your operation. The starting values are typical for the sector, not a promise.

Critical machines (tractors, harvesters, irrigation pumps)

Hours of unplanned downtime per asset, per year

Cost of one hour of downtime on one machine

Unplanned downtime costs you about $0

Planned maintenance that avoids 30% of it is worth $0

An estimate from your own inputs. The 30% is set below published results on purpose: NIST found 44% less downtime at plants that invested more in preventive and predictive maintenance.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can we plan service around the season?

Yes. A plan can use run hours, kilometres or calendar dates, so you can set a pre-season service for every harvester and an hours-based plan for tractors. Solmex shows what is due, due soon or overdue across the whole farm.

Can seasonal workers report problems?

Yes. Each machine and pump gets a QR label. Anyone can scan it with a phone and report a fault with a photo, without an account. People who only report problems are free on every plan, so seasonal staff cost nothing extra.

Can we track fuel per tractor?

Yes. Each fill is logged against the machine with the litres, the meter reading and the cost. Solmex compares consumption with that machine's own history and flags an unusual fill, and fuel cost is added to the machine's total cost.

How long does it take to get started?

Import your machine list from Excel, add hours and last service dates, and set up plans for your main machine types. Most farms are running in a few days. Every new account gets 14 days of the Business plan free, with no card needed.
