Do I need to download an app?
No. BinYard runs in the web browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app. App Store and Google Play versions are on the way.
Will it read my elevator's tickets?
BinYard reads the net weight, dockage, moisture, grade and ticket number off a printed elevator receipt. Ticket layouts vary, so you check every scan before it's saved, and you can always type a load in by hand.
What if there's no signal in the yard?
Keep logging. BinYard saves on your phone and syncs when you're back in service.
Who can see my records?
Only people signed in to your farm's account. Records are stored on Google's Firebase servers and locked to your sign-in. We don't sell or share your data.
What's free, and what do I get if I pay?
Free covers one person, up to 5 bins and tanks, 3 open contracts and 5 ticket scans a month. Pro ($30 a month or $300 a year) makes bins, contracts and scans unlimited and adds up to 5 more people. Unlimited ($50 a month or $500 a year) has no limit on people. Prices are in Canadian dollars. See pricing
Can the whole crew use it?
Yes, on Pro or Unlimited. Everyone you add signs in with their own email and sees the same bins, loads and contracts on their own phone. The free plan is for one person.
What if I go back to free?
Nothing you logged is lost. Your first 5 bins and tanks stay open, and the rest are kept safe but locked until you upgrade again.
Do you sell bin magnets?
Yes, in the BinYard shop. Tough 3 × 3 inch outdoor magnets with your farm name or logo, each bin's number and a small BinYard logo. They're $5 each, $4.50 each when you order 20 or more and $4 each for 50 or more. Orders of 20 or more ship free; smaller orders are $15 to ship. We email you a proof before anything is printed.

Does it handle bushels and tonnes?
Both. Contracts can be in tonnes or bushels, and BinYard converts using each crop's bushel weight. Tanks can be in litres or gallons.
Can I get my records out?
Any time. Download spreadsheets of your loads and contracts, or a full backup file of everything.
