How we saved a farmer 20+ hours a week
We are huge believers in the idea that there is an IT solution for almost anything, and a few months ago we got a unique challenge.
We met a hydroponic strawberry farmer who was driving back and forth to his farm to check his crops every day. He was spending 20 hours a week on the road.
It was obvious that there must be a better solution for him.
We developed a customised app that he could use to track critical elements of his hydroponic system—from his home.
Suddenly, he could monitor pH levels, electrical conductivity, temperature, nutrient dosage, even his financial investment in energy costs.
He could do all of this without stepping in the car, and all of a sudden, his week opened up by a life-changing 20 hours.
It’s a great example of how smart, integrated IT solutions can be applicable in so many businesses—this app alone could be applied to a number of different agricultural projects including microbreweries, water treatment plants, food manufacturing industry, pulp and paper industry, home automation and more.
It’s about working smarter, gaining maximum efficiency, and unlocking potential without the cost.
