Offline mobile apps
Field agents enter data at source, on the plantation, without waiting for a network.
Impact: no more lost paper forms or re-entry.
Agritech · Our priority sector
When technological innovation helps African agriculture grow.
Mapping, satellite imagery, traceability, mobile money payments: we design, build and deploy digital tools for agricultural value chains, for the producers, cooperatives, exporters and buyers who source in Africa.
What technology changes
How technological innovation improves our agriculture.
Eight technologies we put to work for agricultural value chains, and what they can deliver in practice.
GPS and GIS
Each plot is delineated, measured and linked to its producer on a map.
Impact: actual plot areas and a well-managed supply base.
Satellite imagery and drones
Monitoring of forest cover, crop condition and land-use change.
Impact: a way to check remotely for deforestation, in support of your due diligence.
Artificial intelligence
Risk analysis, yield estimation, detection of anomalies in the data.
Impact: signals to help prepare the season.
Sensors and connected devices
Local weather, soil moisture and storage conditions measured continuously.
Impact: fewer post-harvest losses, better quality.
Digital traceability
QR codes, secure registries and volume reconciliation, from the producer to the port.
Impact: every bag linked to its origin.
Mobile money and fintech
Traceable payments, premiums paid without cash, histories that can be used for credit.
Impact: traceable payments, with no need to transport cash.
Digital agricultural advice
Advice, prices and alerts sent to producers by SMS or WhatsApp.
Impact: the right practices at the right time.
The data journey
From the plot to the global market, a technology at every link.
An end-to-end architecture, designed to work where the network ends.
- Step 1
Offline data collection
Producer record and polygon captured in the field, with no network.
- Step 2
Synchronisation
Data sent as soon as the phone has a signal.
- Step 3
Quality control
Duplicates, inconsistent polygons and outliers detected.
- Step 4
Analysis
Dashboards by cooperative, area and season.
- Step 5
Reports
Reports for buyers, certification bodies and donors.
Areas of work
Seven areas of work, from plot to report.
Each area can be a project in its own right or part of a complete system, designed for your organisation.
Plot mapping and polygon mapping
Field agents survey the boundaries of each plantation by GPS, in a data collection app that works offline. Areas are calculated automatically and each plot is linked to its producer.
- Offline polygon capture with accuracy checks
- Area calculation and overlap detection
- GeoJSON, KML and Shapefile exports
- Annual updates and change history
- Migration and cleaning of existing maps
Supply chain traceability
From the producer to the cooperative, then to the warehouse and the port, every transaction is recorded. A QR code per bag or per lot makes it possible to trace back to the origin.
- Farm-gate and buying-station purchases, online or offline
- QR code labels per bag, lot and truck
- Reconciliation of volumes purchased, stored and shipped, with alerts on inconsistencies
- Portal for sharing data with your buyers
EUDR compliance and certifications
We turn your field data into a complete and consistent compliance file: deforestation risk analysis, volume consistency, audit-ready documents.
- Analysis of plots against forest cover maps
- Risk assessment and mitigation, plot by plot
- Data prepared for your buyers’ due diligence statements
- Data ready for certification audits
Cooperatives and producer payments
We design a simple tool for the cooperative to manage members, purchases, premiums and payments. Producers know what they delivered and what they received.
- Member and plot registry
- Purchases, weighing, quality and certification premiums
- Mobile money payments and SMS receipts
- Simplified accounting and general assembly reports
Surveys, censuses and monitoring and evaluation
We design the questionnaires, train the enumerators, supervise data collection and deliver clean, analysed data ready to present.
- Baseline studies and socio-economic surveys
- Digital forms (KoboToolbox, ODK or a dedicated app)
- Daily supervision and quality control
- Impact dashboards for your donors
Child protection and human rights
Digital tools for child labour monitoring and remediation systems (CLMRS), designed with your child protection teams.
- Household visits and case identification
- Follow-up of remediation actions through to closure
- Protected sensitive data, role-based access
- Aggregated reports for companies and partners
- Forced labour indicators and grievance channel
Artificial intelligence and remote sensing
We combine satellite imagery, machine learning models and season histories to anticipate rather than simply observe.
- Forest cover monitoring and change alerts
- Yield estimation and volume forecasting
- Automatic detection of anomalies in the data

What we build
A field app and a management dashboard, designed for your organisation.
Your field agents collect data in the field, your teams monitor activity from the office, and your buyers receive the data they need.
- An Android app that works offline and synchronises as soon as the network returns
- Web dashboard: maps, indicators and alerts
- Securely hosted data that you continue to own

EUDR compliance
Your European buyers are asking for evidence. We help you gather it.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires cocoa, coffee, rubber, oil palm, soya, wood and cattle placed on the EU market, or exported from the EU, to be “deforestation-free”, produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production and covered by a due diligence statement.
—days
Until the regulation applies to large and medium-sized operators and traders, on 30 December 2026. Micro and small operators: 30 June 2027 (30 December 2026 for those already covered by the EU Timber Regulation).
- 01Geolocation of every plotA GPS point for a plot of 4 hectares or less, a full polygon above that.
- 02No deforestation after 31 December 2020Cross-checked against satellite imagery.
- 03Lot-by-lot traceabilityEvery bag linked to its producers and plots.
- 04Due diligence statementThe data and evidence your buyers need for their statement.
Are you ready for the EUDR?
5 questions, 2 minutes. An indicative score and instant recommendations.
The interactive test could not load on this page. Its five questions cover the geolocation of your plots, the link between each lot and its producers, checking for no deforestation after 31 December 2020, the centralisation of your data, and your ability to provide a due diligence file to a buyer. Let’s review this together, based on your situation.
Review your EUDR readiness with usQuestion 1 of 5
Are all your producers’ plots geolocated (a GPS point, or a polygon above 4 ha)?
Question 2 of 5
Can you link each lot sold to the producers and plots it came from?
Question 3 of 5
Have you checked these plots for deforestation after 31 December 2020?
Question 4 of 5
Is your producer data digital, up to date and centralised in a single tool?
Question 5 of 5
Could you provide a due diligence file to a buyer who asked for it tomorrow?
