What we do

Our Services

Farm Monitor

A simplified project management tool for farmers and stakeholders. With our innovative FARM MONITOR web Portal and mobile App, all the financier, investors and lenders have to do is login and follow activities, expenses, lessons learnt and work done by smallholder farmers. The system tracks and displays performance metrics captured through both Drones/ Satellite imagery as well as field supervisors and uploaded on our portal to provide real time information through a user-friendly dashboard.

For the smallholder farmer dashboard, the tool’s modules combine project management elements like our innovative crop calendar (with Artificial intelligence that advises farmers on windows of activity based on Weather forecast), information regarding crop health, on-site crop remediation, farm finance, inventory and farm advisory to give them data to make critical decisions across key production areas in line with recommended best practices for crop production.
