Conservis: Per Traction's Advanced Farm Management page: grain contract management (positions, deliveries, settlements, contracts, settlement matching); crop planning and budgeting by field, crop, input and scenario with profitability view; work orders (who is doing what, where, when) accessible 'from nearly any mobile device'; operational reporting including plan-vs-actual, FSA/acreage/yield and customizable tax/regulatory reports. Financial accounting itself is positioned in Traction's core Accounting product, which Traction says it plans to merge with this suite. Equipment: 2021 coverage listed John Deere and Climate FieldView as Conservis partners; Traction's integrations page lists John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView. No AI, weather, imagery/agronomy modeling or named grain-buyer feeds are described on the current page.
PTx Trimble FarmENGAGE: Three FarmENGAGE tiers on PTx's US feature-comparison page: Starter (manage vehicles/implements/PTx Trimble devices, connect AGCO machines), Data (farm/field setup, up to 5 logins, USB import, equipment location, task reports/coverage maps, prescriptions to Precision-IQ displays), Operations (cloud sync with Precision-IQ, work orders, operator access controls, weather, crop rotation planning, material usage tracking, profitability and scouting reports, harvest tracking with yield and price, management zones, prescription creation). Inputs 'partial' = material usage tracking/prescriptions, not purchasing. Mixed fleet: 'regardless of make or model year'; compatibility agreements named with John Deere Operations Center, Case IH FieldOps, New Holland, Raven Slingshot; connects to Fendt/MF/Valtra displays and PTx Trimble GFX displays. Precision-IQ is the in-cab display application. FarmENGAGE iOS app (free download) formerly 'Trimble Ag Mobile'.

| Status | Absorbed/rebranded: conservis.ag now 302-redirects to tractionag.com/role/advanced-farm-management, where Conservis and Granular Business are marketed together as Traction's 'Advanced Farm Management' for large operations; Traction states it intends to bring this functionality into its core Traction Accounting system. The TELUS Agriculture ownership referenced in the task brief ended with the Traction acquisition. Conservis is no longer sold as a standalone brand with its own website. | Rebranded: Trimble Ag Software / Farmer Core / Farmer Fit / Farmer Pro became 'PTx Trimble Ag Software' and then 'FarmENGAGE' (App Store: 'Formerly known as PTx Trimble Ag Software'; AGCO: launched 2025, debuted at Farm Progress Show Aug 2025). ptxtrimble.com now redirects to ptxag.com, where PTx Trimble and Precision Planting are presented as two brands of PTx (AGCO). Active. MERGED ROW: AGCO's farmer-facing data platform is this same product — standard on MY2026 Fendt and Massey Ferguson in North America (Fendt US: 3-year 'FarmENGAGE – Operations' subscription with Gold Star package; brand telematics carry 5-year included licences).
