Agriculture & Farming

Modern agriculture goes beyond traditional methods—it’s increasingly driven by data, automation, and smart technology. At Zard, we support agricultural businesses across Saudi Arabia with CST-licensed GPS tracking solutions tailored to the unique demands of farming, crop production, and agri-logistics.

Whether you manage a fleet of harvesters, irrigation systems, or transport vehicles, our platform delivers real-time visibility, equipment security, and performance insights—helping you boost productivity across every stage of the agricultural cycle.

Why GPS Matters in Agriculture

Agricultural operations often struggle with:

• Wide-spread or remote field operations

• Equipment misuse or theft

• Lack of visibility over seasonal workers

• Inefficient use of fuel and labor

• Poor coordination across machines and fields

With Zard’s GPS solutions, farmers and agricultural managers gain the tools to overcome these challenges and streamline day-to-day operations.

Key Features of GPS Tracking for Agriculture

• Real-Time Equipment Tracking
  Track tractors, harvesters, sprayers, and other machinery live across fields or transport routes.

• Geofencing of Agricultural Zones
  Set virtual boundaries for fields and get notified if machinery leaves or enters the defined area.

• Usage-Based Maintenance Alerts
  Schedule maintenance based on actual engine hours or activity instead of guesswork.

• Fuel Monitoring & Idling Control
  Track fuel levels, detect inefficiencies, and reduce idle time to save on costs.

• Mobile Workforce Oversight
  Monitor the movement, productivity, and safety of seasonal workers and machine operators in real time.

• Cloud-Based Dashboard & Reports
  Access performance data, machine history, and insights from anywhere using a secure platform.
