American-style software didn't fit the needs of small European farms, and local providers were unintuitive and very limited. So he and the other co-founders of xFarm Technologies developed a platform tailored to his needs.
The aim of the platform is to provide innovative tools that can support farmers and stakeholders in managing their business. The platform is both
web and app-based and self-instructional. The platform will help the farmer and any employees to organize their work in an easy and efficient way. One use case is about how the farm can save on resources.
Through sensors and satellites, it is possible to obtain information and support in optimizing irrigation, defense and fertilization. Another area of use is the monitoring of fields, where the support concerns the optimization and development of an irrigation strategy, the protection of crops and the management of agricultural machinery. Overall, xFarm is a simple and user-friendly platform to monitor and improve the sustainability of a farm.
Today, xFarm Technologies supports the work of 300,000 farms, belonging to more than 50 supply chains and located on 3 million hectares in more than 100 countries around the world. They sell their services to a variety of audiences such as agribusinesses, machinery manufacturers, contractors, cooperatives, input producers, agronomists, insurance and banks. These include farm management applications, connected sensors, support for digital transformation initiatives, agricultural algorithms and specialized training for the entire sector.
