# AgriSmart > AgriSmart is workforce management and payroll software built specifically for agriculture and horticulture businesses in New Zealand and Australia. It connects timesheets, payroll, digital hiring and onboarding, RSE and PALM compliance, piece rate tracking, job costing, rostering, health and safety, bin ticketing and traceability, equipment registers, and spray diaries in one platform. AgriSmart was founded in 2016 and is based at Waikato Innovation Park in Hamilton, New Zealand, with an Australian office in Murrumbeena, Victoria. It serves dairy farms, orchards, vineyards, packhouses, and agricultural contractors managing seasonal and permanent workforces across NZ and AU. AgriSmart includes built-in payroll for New Zealand operations (covering the Holidays Act 2003, piece rate minimum wage top-ups, RSE returning-worker uplift, PAYE, payday filing, and bank file generation) and payroll integrations including Xero and Reckon for Australian operations. It is purpose-built for the compliance complexity of primary industries: RSE scheme administration in New Zealand, PALM scheme workforce management and Horticulture Award compliance in Australia, and agricultural contractor job costing and invoicing in both markets. The site uses a country-directory structure: New Zealand pages sit under /nz/, Australian pages under /au/, and the shared product tools at the site root. ## New Zealand - [AgriSmart New Zealand (country hub)](https://agrismart.com/nz/): Starting point for NZ farms, orchards, vineyards, and packhouses.
