AgriSmart Expands Market Leadership with Reckon Payroll Integration

AgriSmart, the industry-leading workforce management platform for the agriculture, horticulture, and viticulture sectors, has announced a strategic partnership in Australia with Reckon, a trusted provider of accounting and payroll solutions. This collaboration will enhance AgriSmart’s already comprehensive suite of tools by integrating Reckon’s payroll processing capabilities, further solidifying AgriSmart’s position as the go-to workforce management solution for Australian farmers and growers.

AgriSmart’s robust platform, which has been transforming farm management since 2016, will now offer even more powerful features to its Australian customers:

1. Seamless integration of AgriSmart’s extensive workforce management tools with Reckon’s payroll processing
2. Enhanced compliance with Australian regulations, including automated Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting
3. Real-time updates on payroll and tax regulations leveraging Reckon’s expertise

Imran Raza, CEO of AgriSmart, emphasised the benefits of this partnership: “By integrating Reckon’s payroll capabilities into our comprehensive platform, we’re providing Australian farmers with an unparalleled all-in-one solution. AgriSmart users will now enjoy enhanced payroll features alongside our existing tolls for seasonal onboarding, time tracking, job costing, and health and safety management. This partnership allows us to further streamline operations for our customers, saving them valuable time and ensuring accuracy across all aspects of workforce management.”

The integration will complement AgriSmart’ existing features, which now include:

This integration will not only save time but also ensure accuracy in payroll processing and reporting. We’re particularly excited about offering seamless STP reporting, which has been a pain point for many small businesses in the agriculture industry.”

The enhanced AgriSmart platform, now featuring Reckon’s payroll capabilities, will be available to Australian customers starting 26 May 2025. Existing AgriSmart users in Australia will have the option to seamlessly integrate the new payroll features into their current platform.
