New Integration Now Live: SHED + PTx Trimble FarmENGAGE

Managing farm inputs and materials shouldn’t mean doubling up on admin. That’s why we’re excited to share some great news — SHED is now fully integrated with PTx Trimble FarmENGAGE, giving farmers a smarter, more efficient way to manage inventory.

This new integration connects your inputs and materials inventory directly with your farm planning, operations, and analysis, helping you stay on top of stock while saving time behind the screen.

What is SHED?

SHED is a dedicated, advanced inventory management platform for agricultural inputs and materials, proudly made in New Zealand.

It’s designed specifically for managing:

  • Agrichemicals
  • Fertilisers
  • Seed
  • Other farm inputs and materials

When connected with PTx Trimble FarmENGAGE, your inventory automatically updates as you plan, execute, and record farm activities — reducing manual entry and improving accuracy.

How the Integration Works

Once connected, SHED and FarmENGAGE talk to each other seamlessly:

  • SHED automatically pulls your inputs and materials from FarmENGAGE — no need to re-enter or search for product names
  • Product applications are pulled directly from Crop Zone activities, including:
    • What was applied
    • Where it was applied
    • When it was applied
    • Application rates

That means less admin, fewer errors, and more confidence in your records.

Key Features of SHED

SHED offers a comprehensive set of inventory tools, including:

  • Tracking of deliveries, returns, and transfers
  • Automatic syncing of usage and applications from FarmENGAGE
  • Stocktakes with quantity and value adjustments
  • Ability to reset stock and inventory levels
  • Batch number tracking
  • Attach Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
  • Hazardous materials tracking, with optional QR code access for visibility of on-hand hazardous materials and volumes
  • Forecasting of future input needs and costs

Getting Started Is Easy

You can be up and running in just three simple steps:

  1. Register for a SHED trial

  2. Connect your FarmENGAGE account

    • SHED will automatically pull in your inputs and materials

  3. Sync your inventory

    • Choose a start date so previous activities are ignored

    • Enter your on-hand balances

From there, your inventory will stay in sync automatically.

Pricing & Availability

The SHED + FarmENGAGE integration is available as an annual subscription of $495 (excl. GST), purchased directly from FarmReady.

You can view the full feature list on the SHED website via FarmReady.

    Why FarmENGAGE

    This is a new name and a new look, with the same powerful functionality farmers already trust—now aligned under the PTx brand. FarmENGAGE still supports PTx Trimble displays and third-party OEM platforms such as John Deere, Case IH and Raven but now includes new and improved support for Fendt, Massey Ferguson and Valtra machines.

    “Farm” represents our mission to support the whole operation all year long, from pre-season planning and planting to harvest and post-season analysis, across all brands and equipment types.
    “ENGAGE” brings energy and purpose. Farmers don’t just observe from a distance, they act. They engage every element of their operation to drive performance. This name embodies farmers’ everyday actions, empowering them to take charge of their entire farm with a connected, intuitive platform.

     

    What’s new with PTx FarmENGAGE:

    • A fresh look with PTx brand colors and logos
    • A new application name across both web and mobile
    • A unified login utilizing AGCO ID
    • A central landing page where existing and new users can learn about what tools are available to them
    PTx FarmENGAGE is scheduled to launch on 25 August 2025. All existing users will see the updated branding and name of the platform and be prompted to migrate from Trimble Identity to AGCO Identity.
