Data, APIs & Integrations
Data & Integrations: Get Started
What you need, what happens next and how long it takes.
Setting up Data & Integrations takes about twenty minutes for a single holding, and most of the data comes across automatically once the business is registered.
Before you start
What you will need, and what the module handles for you
Most of this comes across automatically once your holding is registered. The list is here so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Get started
Set up your holding in about twenty minutes
Four short steps. Nothing here has to be perfect on day one — the platform will help you correct it once your land record is imported.
End to end
How Data & Integrations runs, start to finish
The module is modelled as a state machine, so at any point the business knows exactly which stage every record is at and what has to happen next.
-
1
Catalogue the required data sources
This is where the record starts, and getting it right here removes work at every later stage.
-
2
Establish licensing and commercial terms
The platform prompts only for what this stage genuinely needs, and carries everything forward.
-
3
Build and test the connector
Conflicts with scheme rules, regulatory windows and existing commitments are flagged here rather than discovered later.
-
4
Map schemas and transform
Capture works offline, so this stage is completed in the field rather than remembered afterwards.
-
5
Monitor health and cost in production
Everything recorded at this point becomes evidence automatically, in every format that will later ask for it.
-
6
Publish outbound APIs and webhooks
This is the stage most businesses currently do twice, once for the operation and once for the paperwork.
-
7
Support third-party developers
Results feed the whole-farm view, so the effect of this stage is visible against the rest of the business.
-
8
Review licensing and cost annually
The cycle closes here, and what is learned is carried into next season's plan rather than lost.

Questions answered
What people ask about Data & Integrations
Does this replace the software I already use?
Not necessarily. Agrivencia integrates with authoritative sources and mainstream packages rather than insisting on replacing them. Where an incumbent does one job well, the platform connects to it; where the job spans several systems and nobody does it, the platform does it.
Will it work where I have no signal?
Yes. Field capture in Data & Integrations is offline first, storing locally and synchronising when a connection returns. Only around a fifth of UK farms report reliable signal across the whole holding, so this is a design assumption rather than a feature.
What happens when the scheme rules change?
Scheme rules are held as data rather than code, so a rate change, a cap change or a window closure is a content update that takes effect the same day. The platform also alerts you to what the change does to your own position.
Who owns the data I put in?
You do. The Farm Data Charter gives you a complete export in open formats at any time, and every instance of data sharing requires an explicit, revocable consent that is visible in your account.
Does it work if I farm across a border?
Yes, and that is one of the main reasons the platform exists. A business with land in more than one nation sees one reconciled view rather than two portals, with obligations and deadlines from both administrations in a single calendar.
Can my agronomist or land agent use it too?
Yes. You grant scoped, time-limited access per holding and per module, and you can revoke it in one click. Advisers never get a shared password or a blanket view.
What is the biggest limitation of this module?
No guaranteed public production API for some government services. Mitigated by partnership routes and user-mediated upload fallbacks. We would rather state that plainly than let you discover it after signing.
What we are hearing
The problems people describe to us
These are composite statements drawn from user research conversations, not attributed customer quotes. We publish named references only with written consent.
I am not short of software. I am short of one place where the same field means the same thing in all of it.
The scheme closed on a Tuesday evening. I had the application half built. Nobody told me the budget was nearly gone.
We farm on both sides of the border. Everything takes twice as long and I still cannot see the whole position on one screen.
Audit week costs me three days. Every single record they ask for is already written down somewhere on this farm.
