Challenge

The client needed a modern digital system that could consolidate the growing volume of GIS, environmental, financial, and advisory data used across their consulting operations. Existing workflows relied heavily on spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and manual reporting.

Key challenges included

• Multiple independent data sources with no unified platform

• Time consuming reporting workflows

• Limited real time visibility across fields and advisory teams

• No automated forecasting or insight generation

• Dependency on manual interpretation of complex GIS and weather data

They required a cloud native platform with GIS, AI enabled insights, and a structured workflow for advisory teams across regions.

Solution

EC Infosolutions designed a cloud based advisory platform that connects GIS mapping, weather intelligence, financial data, and AI powered reporting in one integrated system.

Key Functional Modules

1. Intelligent Data Integration

A unified data model was built using Python, Django, FastAPI and Redis.

The system integrates

• GIS layers

• Weather information

• Financial and advisory datasets

• Satellite imagery feeds

Real time synchronization ensures advisors work with the latest available information.

2. AI & Analytics Automation

Using OpenAI GPT models, TensorFlow, and Python ML pipelines, the platform supports

• Automated advisory report generation

• Forecasting of crop yield and financial outcomes

• AI suggestions within dashboards

This reduced the manual load on consultants and standardized reporting across teams.

3. GIS Mapping & Spatial Tools

Leaflet and Maplibre power the interactive mapping environment.

Features include

• Field boundaries and region overlays

• Layered weather and soil information

• Area specific advisory insights

• Spatial decision tools

4. Multi Cloud Deployment & Scalability

The system is deployed on AWS, Azure, and GCP for

• High availability

• Automatic scaling

• Secure and distributed access

Containerization with Docker and traffic management through Cloudflare and Nginx ensures consistent performance.

Implementation & Delivery

The platform was delivered through a structured multi phase approach.

Phase 1: Discovery, advisory workflow mapping, GIS data planning

Phase 2: AI integration, data engineering, back end services

Phase 3: GIS tools, dashboards, performance optimization

Phase 4: Deployment, onboarding, and final rollout across advisory teams

Results

The platform now functions as the core operational system for the client’s advisory network.

• 40 percent faster analytics and data processing

• Unified system for agriculture, financial, and compliance workflows

• 90 percent improvement in advisory visibility across teams

• Automated reporting with AI generated summaries

• Secure, multi cloud environment supporting ongoing scale

Consultants and agronomists now work within a single digital workspace with structured insights and real time data.

Key Takeaways

• GIS and environmental data become far more usable when unified in a dedicated platform

• AI automation reduces manual reporting and standardizes insights

• Multi cloud deployment ensures reliability and long term scalability

• Integrated mapping improves understanding of field, region, and weather conditions

• Advisory teams gain faster access to actionable information
