What the diagnosis found

Three causes behind the daily firefighting.

Two weeks on the floorWe followed real cases from start to finish before designing anything.

Field visits covered a fraction of the plots.

It took a week of travel to learn which crops were in trouble, and by then some were past saving.

Advice did not reach the farmer in time.

Guidance travelled by phone call and word of mouth, in a language and form not every farmer could use.

The cutting order was a guess.

Harvest was scheduled by village in a spreadsheet, without knowing which fields were actually ready.

Farmer and plot registry

Every farmer, every plot, its crop and its planting date, mapped.

Satellite crop health

Each plot scanned every few days, with stress shown before it is visible from the road.

Weather alerts

Forecasts by village, sent when they change what a farmer should do.

Crop advice

Guidance in the farmer’s own language, tied to their plot and crop stage.

Service requests

Raised from the farmer’s phone, assigned to a field officer, tracked to closure.

Harvest planning

A cutting order built from crop maturity and mill capacity.

  • Spots crop stress from satellite scans. The field officer confirms on the ground.
  • Sends advice in the farmer’s language. The agronomist approves the advice first.
  • Plans the cutting order for the mill. The cane manager signs off the plan.

Every field, checked from space, every few days.

Where it starts

Every engagement begins with a two-week diagnosis.

One workflow, two weeks. You keep the map either way.
