Abstract Irrigation is one of the backbones in the field of agriculture. The role of technology in the industrial era 4.0 has increased tremendously in irrigation management systems. Areas, limited internet access, and validation of activity reports are separate issues in monitoring the performance of irrigation field workers in real-time. Therefore, we built a reporting system that is equipped with location tracking using the Smartphone Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Web Geographic Information System (WebGIS) application. This field reporting system starts from the report input form on the Android app that detects location coordinates automatically. Reports are stored in an offline SQLite database and sent to the MySQL database server online through the data synchronisation process. From the server-side, information displayed through the WebGIS application. This field reporting is more efficient in monitoring the performance of irrigation systems in real-time.
