What Kosechapp is

One system, three connected apps.

Kosechapp is a single back office for farm labor contractors — built on one shared ledger, with three apps on top. The foreman works in Time, you run the business in Office, and we run payroll in HQ. Data is entered once in the field and flows one direction downstream: hours become approved work orders, work orders become payroll and invoices, payroll becomes checks, filings, and workers' comp — nothing re-keyed along the way.

How the platform works

From the row to the paycheck, without paper in between.

All week
01

The field works

Crews clock in; the foreman logs hours — or pounds and rows for piece rate — by ranch, work type, crop, and variety. New hires onboard themselves in five minutes.

02

Foreman submits

The week goes in from the field — every work order, hour, and pound, already coded to the ranch and crop it belongs to. Nothing transcribed later.

03

You approve

Review the week in Office and approve. That single approval feeds payroll, job costs, workers' comp, and the grower invoice. One click, four ledgers.

Workers get paid

Withholdings calculated, sick leave accrued, deposits scheduled, checks printed and shipped. Filings accumulate automatically from the same ledger.

Kosechapp HQ
Solutions

Everything a farm labor contractor needs — on one ledger.

Payroll

Weekly payroll, run for you

Kosechapp staff process every check — hourly or piece rate — with California daily OT, seventh-day premiums, and sick-leave accrual computed automatically.

Tax filings

Federal & CA returns, filed for you

The federal and EDD filings that apply to your business, prepared and submitted for you, with deposits scheduled and paid on cadence. No quarter-end scramble.

Year-end

Wage statements for every worker

Year-end wage statements generated, filed, and distributed — reconciled against the same ledger the checks came from, so the numbers always tie out.

Workers' comp

Premiums computed & reconciled

WC calculated per work order against real classification codes — field data and premium math in one ledger, so the year-end audit holds up.

Work orders

The field's system of record

Build work orders and set up growers, ranches, crops, and work types. Every hour, pound, and row is coded to the job it belongs to.

Invoicing

Grower invoices from real work

Generate invoices straight from approved work orders — no drift between what you paid your crew and what you billed the grower.

Accounting

Books-ready for your CPA

Job costing by grower, ranch, and crop, categorized expenses with receipts, and an equipment register. Clean data out, not a shoebox.

Onboarding

New hires, 5 minutes, 2 languages

Hand over a tablet. Workers enter their own W-4 and California DE 4 in English or Spanish, sign electronically, and the forms are stored.

Time tracking

Phone-first, hourly or piece rate

Bilingual crew app that works with gloves on — hours, pounds, and rows captured the moment they happen, coded to ranch and crop.

Questions

Farm labor contractor software, answered.

What is farm labor contractor (FLC) software?

FLC software runs the business side of a farm labor contractor: crew time capture in the field, work orders, piece-rate and hourly payroll, grower invoicing, and the wage statements and filings California requires. Kosechapp is built specifically for FLCs, so all of it lives on one ledger instead of a payroll service plus spreadsheets.

Does Kosechapp handle piece-rate payroll?

Yes. Crews record pounds or units against each work order — including badge scanning in the field — and payroll pays piece rate or hourly per work order, with California daily overtime, paid sick leave accrual, and workers' comp computed per work order.

Can crews and workers use Kosechapp in Spanish?

Yes. The field time-tracking app and worker onboarding — including W-4 and DE-4 tax forms — are fully bilingual, English and Spanish.

How do growers get invoiced?

Invoices are built straight from approved work orders — by grower and ranch, with markup and job costing by crop — so billing matches the work that was actually recorded and approved that week.

Does Kosechapp work with QuickBooks Online?

Yes. Payroll posts to QuickBooks Online as journal entries using an account mapping you set up with your accountant, and revenue reporting by grower is part of the integration.

Where does Kosechapp operate?

Kosechapp serves farm labor contractors in California today, with Nevada, Oregon, and Washington expanding next. If you run crews in the western United States, we can run your season.
