Our company’s mission is to enable growers to farm with pinpoint-accuracy and accelerate the transition to sustainable agriculture that must feed the world.
A bit about us
Passionate about the positive impact tech can have in creating sustainable worldwide crop production, we’re an unusual mix of agricultural data analysts, software veterans, industrial hardware designers and market specialists.
We are working together with one common goal to give farmers access to affordable, accurate reporting in one digital platform, informed by cost-effective sensors in the fields. Enabling better decisions informed by meaningful real-time insights.
Combining our extensive knowledge of hardware, software and agriculture
We work closely with growers and their advisors, listening to feedback, hearing what information is of most value to them, their challenges; lack of connectivity, cumbersome platforms and tricky to interpret data.
We used all these insights to develop an easy-to-use platform and super simple-to-interpret data.
