Task and to-do list assignments with automatic follow-ups

Purpose

1.1. Automate the assignment of task and to-do lists to agricultural field workers, supervisors, and agronomists, providing automatic reminders and reporting updates.
1.2. Centralize operational directives for daily crop maintenance, equipment use, irrigation scheduling, harvesting, and compliance checks.
1.3. Ensure transparent tracking, timely completion, and documented follow-ups of all field and reporting activities.
1.4. Eliminate manual communication errors and delays, enhance communication cycles, and deliver real-time updates to management and stakeholders.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New work order submitted through digital forms or ERP system.
2.2. Scheduled calendar event (daily, weekly, or monthly farm activity milestones).
2.3. Status update from IoT sensors (e.g., soil moisture threshold crossed triggers irrigation task).
2.4. Exception report or missed deadline on a previous task (initiates follow-up assignment and escalation).
2.5. Manual task entry by farm manager via dashboard or mobile app.
