The Problem

Farmers needed a way to visualise their data and manage their businesses.

SupPlant’s shutdown left Australian farmers without a vital tool to interpret sensor data and guide decisions.

Modern agriculture relies on a range of sensors to monitor both plant growth and environmental conditions. To make informed decisions, farmers need an effective way to visualise this data. Until recently, SupPlant was the sole platform providing this capability. However, with its shutdown in Australia, farmers have been left without a tool to access and interpret their plant data.

However, with its recent shutdown in Australia, farmers have been left without a tool to access and interpret their plant data.

The Solution

We built a real-time dashboard to manage their enterprises.

To fill this market gap, Agronomates collaborated with us to create CropNexus - an advanced web application that offers farmers comprehensive, real-time monitoring of their farms. The platform enables users to analyse critical data such as weather conditions, plant health, and irrigation metrics. We led every stage of the project, from identifying farmers' needs and designing the user experience to implementation and automated testing.

Key Challenges

Each project comes with its own set of unique challenges.

🧮

Handling Large Datasets

Working with large datasets and complex agronomic calculations posed performance challenges. We overcame this by implementing optimised queries, chunking, and indexing, resulting in a smooth and responsive user experience.

🖥️

Designing a User-Friendly Interface

Balancing usability with complex data analysis was a design challenge. Through iterative development and continuous feedback, we refined the UI to achieve both simplicity and depth.

🧩

Integrating Third-Party Data Sources

Incorporating external data like weather and sensor feeds was complex and required extensive transformation. We successfully streamlined these integrations, ensuring reliability and seamless performance across the platform.

🔍

Understanding Domain-Specific Needs

Collaborating with stakeholders requires deep domain knowledge. For this project, we explored the complexities of agricultural science to fully understand client needs, enabling us to deliver tailored, effective solutions.

The Result

CropNexus has become a trusted platform for farms across Australia, offering an intuitive, high-performance experience with strong security and compliance.
