The daily for
New Zealand’s Startups

Day-to-day, any number of tasks can crop up on a farm, vineyard or orchard. Especially when it comes to managing staff and visitors, and keeping them safe and on task. Onside’s convenient digital toolkit supports rural operations by simplifying visitor management, onsite communication, health & safety compliance, and on-farm biosecurity. Reduce the paperwork and keep everyone in the loop – all at the touch of a button.

We understand how tough it is to balance dirty hands out in the field with all those management tasks. How do we know? Well, we’re rural too.Onside’s founders noticed there was no simple way to know who was on their farms, what they were doing, how to get in touch with them and whether they had all the information they needed.

So they started having over-the-fence yarns with farmers, growers, contractors and managers to help crack a solution. The result is Onside – an innovative app that simplifies everything about safety, operations and communications on rural properties. What began as a simple check-in, visitor management and H&S tool, has since evolved into a comprehensive operations software for all rural sectors globally, including viticulture, horticulture, agriculture and contracting businesses servicing the rural sector.

Today, Onside is used by over 28,000 people, 10,000 properties and 4,000 rural businesses to improve operations, communications and compliance – making it the industry-leading app for anyone managing, visiting or working on rural properties.

Onside's mission is to ensure agribusinesses are efficient and resilient. Our check-in app supports rural operations by simplifying visitor management, onsite communication, health & safety compliance, and on-farm biosecurity.

With strong beginnings providing farm management software New Zealand, Onside's focus has shifted to powering the world's biosecurity, by partnering with government and industry bodies across Australia and New Zealand.
