Working Process:
We deploy monitoring agents with digital tools and technology to enhance last-mile delivery. Our digital tool deployment is in two segments: on-field and backend. All field agents are mobile and equipped with smartphones and digital applications for near real-time data collection on inputs distribution and usage reporting, crop growth and harvest monitoring. This on-field component involves physical contact and interaction with farmers and other field level stakeholders. The backend component allows for remote monitoring and overseeing of field operations, providing checks and balances at designated locations as well a dashboard for our clients to observe the happenings on the field.
