Challenge
The client wanted to transform traditional farm management through a digital first and GIS powered platform that could unify soil data, crop intelligence, and field operations.
They faced multiple challenges
Fragmented soil and crop data scattered across tools and manual systems
No centralized geospatial interface to visualize farm boundaries or field conditions
Limited forecasting capability for yield, soil health, and irrigation patterns
Need for real time weather, satellite, and drone insights
Multiple stakeholders including farmers, agronomists, and enterprise managers needing custom access
Requirement for a cloud native and scalable architecture for nationwide adoption
The objective was to build an integrated agriculture intelligence system that connects the physical world of soil and crops with the digital world of analytics and predictive insights.
Solution
EC Infosolutions engineered a comprehensive GIS powered agriculture intelligence platform that connects field mapping, soil analytics, crop insights, and farm operations into a unified digital ecosystem.
