HUTSON’S AGDATAWORKS FORM

Options, Details, and Calculations

In this month’s cover article, we talked about how we worked alongside Hutson to create a form that generates agreements for their Ag DataWorks service. In this space, we’ll get a little more into the nitty-gritty about how that formworks. Handle automatically generates an agreement number the second the form is opened, making tracking the agreement simple. There are also four statuses — pending, quoting, submitted, and canceled — that give a clear indication of where the customer is in the process. As the agreement is being created, a number of variables can be altered. Hutson’s Ag Data Works services are available in one- and three-

Once the form is submitted, Handle calculates not only the total cost, but the cost of each payment and when those payments are due. From there, Hutson can generate a PDF, with one click, that’s easy to print off and give to the customer. This PDF has all of the agreement and payment information, as well as a page to sign. While the data is specific to the customer, each form comes on Hutson’s leaderhead and is presented in an easy-to-comprehend format. Hutson’s Ag Data Works form makes a complicated set of services understandable quickly and concisely. It removes any confusion and allows customers to benefit from data services without getting mired in complex agreement calculations.

year agreements, and there are also multiple payment plan options. Both of these are selected through drop-down menus. In terms of the actual services themselves, Hutson offers a wide variety of options and tiers. All of these are listed in a menu under the “Deliverables” section of the form. For services that are calculated on a per-acre basis, you can input the number of acres and Handle will generate a price. There is also an option for multiple services to be combined. In addition to codes for each service, there are detailed descriptions of what each service provides. A client can be provided with a copy of these codes and descriptions so that they have a thorough understanding of the services to be rendered.
