About De Kocker-De Pestel
Landbouwwerken De Kocker-De Pestel is a farm contracting company in Flanders. Yasmin De Pestel and Win De Kocker run it together. In addition to various agricultural services, the company also transports manure. That is why, since 2023, De Kocker-De Pestel has been recording every manure transport trip using AllConnects’ AGR-GPS.
The Challenge: Manure Transport Requires Accurate Record-Keeping
Anyone who transports manure operates within a strictly regulated framework. The Manure Bank in Flanders requires that you accurately record and digitally track every shipment. Moreover, errors in those records are no minor matter. They can quickly lead to administrative problems or a fine.
For Yasmin and Win, it was therefore crucial to find a partner who could install the equipment properly. In addition, the system had to run reliably. And if something did go wrong, they wanted quick assistance. In short: not just a supplier, but a partnership.
Why De Kocker-De Pestel Chose AllConnects
The decision wasn't based on a brochure or a sales pitch. A fellow manure handler from the neighborhood was already using the system and recommended it. So Yasmin and Win went to check it out for themselves first. They saw the system in action and were immediately convinced.
That's how trust works in agriculture. Not through an ad, but through a neighbor who says, "This works."
How AGR-GPS Works for a Contract Farmer
For certified manure transporters, AGR-GPS consists of hardware installed in the tractor and the trailer, along with a tablet in the cab. During transport, the system automatically transmits the data to the government. This way, the driver does not need to keep any paper records.
Does your company also spread its own manure on its own land? If so, there’s also a simple app for the neighbor agreement.
