Several years ago, my brother came to me with an idea for a mobile app that tracks the inventory levels for bins and bags throughout their southwest Nebraska farming empire.
At the time, I was still in school at UNL and getting my feet wet with software engineering; I just wasn’t ready for the task. But now that I’ve graduated from university and have completed several side projects and internships, I believe I’m ready for that task. And since I’m already developing SnapScale and the wallinfarms.us website, I might as well begin development on CropCache and integrate it alongside these systems.
Here’s our vision for CropCache:
- Bins/bags (caches) are created with total capacity and current capacity amounts.
- When scale tickets are processed by SnapScale, the amounts are subtracted from their respective cache.
- Caches can be viewed on a dashboard or map with their capacities displayed.
Dashboard
This will be a list of bins and their information

Map
This will be like google maps where each bin is displayed at its latitude/longitude coordinates with a preview of its information.
Tapping the preview will take you to its Detail page.

Detail
This will be a detailed view of a bin where you can update its information
Tapping a property will allow you to edit its value.
Tapping the coordinates will allow you to select a new location on the map.
