Foral keeps a private landowner's holding on record in one place: every plot, its official property records, its documents, the purchases and sales behind it, the deadlines attached to it, and the people involved in each.
The map is the front page. Plots are drawn by hand straight over aerial photography, and each area is measured from that drawing every time the screen loads instead of being typed in once and left to go stale.
Nothing runs on a timer. Expired documents, overdue tasks, mismatches and approaching deadlines are all worked out at the moment you open the screen, so what you are looking at is never yesterday's answer.

Highlights
The map is the front page
Plots are drawn by hand over aerial photography, and the map is the first thing you see rather than a tab off to one side.
Everyone sees only theirs
Who may see or change which plot is decided on the server for every single action across the four kinds of user, never just hidden from the screen.
Nothing waits for a job
Expiries, overdue tasks, mismatches and deadlines are worked out as the page loads, so there is no nightly job quietly falling behind.
Areas measured, not typed
A plot's area comes from its shape on the map every time it is shown. There is no figure in a box that can disagree with the drawing.
The paperwork of owning land
Official property records and tax values, documents kept behind a login, purchases and sales, a field book of crops season by season, and a calendar of what falls due.
Sign-in built in-house
Passwords are stored scrambled beyond recovery and sessions are held in the database, with everything arriving from the outside checked before it is trusted.
