The whole farm, run from one place.
The orchard, the store, the cidery, the events and the crew. FORSSI connects the parts of a farm that other software splits up, in words anyone on your team can read.
Everything a working farm runs.
Turn on the parts you use. Leave the rest off. It is all one system underneath, so nothing needs copying from one place to another.
Farm store, tasting room, gate, weigh stand and market, one register.
Pickup at the farm or the market, shipping where the law allows.
Entry, timed hayrides, classes, field trips and space rentals.
Harvest boxes, cider clubs and season passes that bill themselves.
One record per person, with messages that respect every "no".
Time clock, schedules, piece-rate, tips and farm overtime rules.
Sell local makers' goods at your counter. Their share and their paperwork, worked out for you.
Batches from the field, pressing runs, orders and receiving.
Blocks, harvests, sprays and the re-entry waits that come with them.
Cooler checks, licences, incidents, recalls and alcohol reports.
Profit by enterprise, payouts matched, daily books sent to your accountant.
Hours, what is picking, events and the shop, always up to date.
Registers and the time clock keep going when the signal does not.
A Saturday at Cottonwood Bend.
An orchard with u-pick, a farm store, a cidery and a pumpkin patch. Follow one busy day through FORSSI.
One worker. Two businesses. Two rulebooks.
Maya pours cider for the Cider Co. in the afternoon and runs the farm store till for the Farm in the morning. Two employers, two sets of pay rules, one person.
FORSSI pays each job under its own rules and keeps each business's books separate. Restaurant software cannot do farm payroll. Farm software cannot do tips. This does both.
Written for people who would rather be outside.
Seasonal cashiers learn it in ten minutes. Crews use it in English or Spanish. Nobody needs a manual to read the owner's screen.
No signal in the orchard. Still open for business.
Barns, fields and market stalls lose the internet. FORSSI is built to expect it, not to break on it.
Cash and card-machine sales carry on with no internet and send themselves when it comes back.
Every sale is named before it is sent, so a flaky connection can never charge a customer twice.
Each gate sells from its own share of the day, so two offline gates and the website cannot sell the same ticket.

Consignment without the notebook.
The honey from down the road, the pottery, the soap. Farm stores sell a lot of other people's goods, and most keep track in a notebook and a spreadsheet. FORSSI keeps the books for each maker.
- Check in what they drop offCount it in on a receipt both of you can see. Their stock stays theirs, never counted as yours.
- Every maker, their own termsA percentage split or a set price per item, with who covers discounts and card fees decided up front.
- The register knows whose it isRing it up like anything else. Refunds and discounts come off the right person's share automatically.
- Pay them without the mathAn itemized statement for each maker every period, what you owe, and a record when you pay.
- Taxes and paperwork handledSales tax collected on their sales too, W-9 and insurance on file with expiry reminders, 1099 totals at year end.
- Makers can check inEach maker sees what sold and what is left on the shelf, so nobody calls to ask.
From the tree to the receipt.
Every batch knows where it came from and where it went. When something goes wrong, you find out who bought it in minutes, not days.
- Picked in Block 4 on MondayWith the crew, the grade and the last spray on record.
- Pressed into cider on FridayThe run costs itself from the apples, the jugs and the labour.
- Sold on SaturdayTo named customers and open tabs, ready for a recall notice.
Five apps. One farm.
Each person gets the screen made for where they stand. They all share one set of records.
For owners and managers, on any computer.
Counter, gate, weigh stand, bar and kitchen.
Clock in, tasks, harvests, checks, scanning.
Tickets, the farm tab, the map and memberships.
Open today, what is picking, events and the shop.
Numbers you can take to the bank.
See which part of the farm makes money. And when a cost is missing, FORSSI tells you instead of quietly counting it as zero.
Exact to the cent
Money is counted in whole cents from the till to the books. Nothing is rounded away along the way.
Nothing overwritten
Corrections are added, never written over, and every change is logged with who made it and why.
Ready for inspection
Spray logs, cooler checks, licences and batch records gathered into one pack when the inspector calls.
Keep the services you already trust.
Most farms run a register, a ticketing site, a CSA store, a timesheet app and a bookkeeping service, and type the same sale into three of them. FORSSI replaces the pile and connects to the services worth keeping.

Books and accounting
- AmbrookBring in your ledger, match bank deposits to invoices, and see labour costs by enterprise.

Built on a working Kansas farm before it was built for anyone else.
FORSSI began as the system behind one orchard, farm store and cidery in Kansas: its register, farm tabs, tickets, staff app, time clock, stock, purchasing, farm records and reconciliation. Every screen here comes from what that farm needed on a real Saturday.
