11 reasons to choose Tātou

Making operational decisions quickly and accurately from data fresh off the field is priceless.

Specifically designed for vineyards and orchards, Tātou was created to manage the human side of growing, whilst unlocking valuable data which is lost on paper. One of Tātou’s core offerings is the simple management of hourly, group contract or piece-rate work. By enabling horticulture businesses to track productivity and incentivise good performance, growers can increase productivity whilst workers earn more.

Here are 11 reasons to use Tātou

  1. Tātou was designed by industry leaders

    No one understands horticulture like growers and contractors, which is why our tools have been designed in the field in real life businesses. We’ve taken care to ensure Tātou is easy to use, no matter your tech ability.

  2. Remove pen & paper and realise the power of data

    High-value crops that require intense human labour are hard to manage. Paper-based processes require hours of office work to maintain. This is expensive, inefficient and non-transparent. Turning digital means you can say goodbye to:

    • Inaccurate data and manual payroll calculations (increasing the risk of being non-compliant and incorrect pay)

    • Double handling of data (this wastes time and money - no more typing up timesheets!)

    • Slow information (decision making should be based on fast, accurate data, not guess work)

  3. Tātou increases productivity

    Tātou is an action based tool that helps business owners fine tune operations to deliver maximum productivity. Here are some ways Tātou can help:

    • Transition more tasks to piece-rate (we handle everything)

    • Reduce absenteeism

    • Increase efficiency - more time spent on value-add jobs, not admin

    • Great transparency - leads to increased trust, motivation and employee retention. Happy staff make high performing teams

    • Understand which tasks suit each of your workers and teams

    • Track budgets and progress in real-time to make decisions quickly and confidently - prevent problems from escalating.

  4. Tātou saves time

    “You gave us our Monday back” is common feedback from Tātou users. Administrators and supervisors spend significantly less time checking and reporting and more time on the important things, like managing their teams. Tātou is up to 10x quicker than paper and 5x quicker than other software when handling timesheets.

  5. Tātou can help you reduce absenteeism

    Each morning you can see who is in attendance and who is not, then take action to encourage people to work. Sometimes it is as simple as that. Real-time data gives you the power to act immediately. Small actions each day substantially increase your workforce availability and productivity. Clients have reported decreases in absenteeism of 50-70% with this data.

  6. Tātou increases transparency, worker trust and engagement

    With Tātou, employees can view the work they’ve done and see how their performance affects their wages. This transparency builds worker-employee trust and often results in a boost in productivity, engagement and staff retention.

  7. Tātou works offline

    We go wherever you need us. Record work, even without internet connection.

  8. Tātou gives you peace of mind

    Tātou allows you to understand what is happening on the field. It collects accurate data so you can better handle the complexity of piece rate calculations. We can calculate paid rest breaks and top ups to minimum wage (in dollars) automatically (see FAQ for more info). We also can track visa expiry dates, employment contracts, driving licenses, passports, Covid-19 vaccinations and much more.

  9. Tātou helps you track your budget and progress

    Keep an eye on your budgets with real-time data. Each time your teams complete a task you can see the impact on budget and progress to stay on top of your operations

  10. Monitor and control from the office

    Our Planning and Scheduling tools will help you organise your growing cycles. From pruning to harvest, Tātou automatically generates tasks which you can schedule for your team.

  11. Tātou helps you forecast next season

    Tātou data helps plan for the next season. Using previous seasons data, Tātou users are able to predict the amount of workers required to complete each task on time.
