FarmShield connects to FarmCloud for the complete farm management experience.
The data sent to the cloud by the FarmShield™ is stored, analysed and displayed on our dashboard which farmers interact with to provide information. The dashboard displays real-time information of your farm to the second and is accessible by our app, web portal or USSD.
The dashboard is a complete turnkey system with tiles on managing your FarmShield™ device, placing orders for farm inputs, ordering trucks to collect your harvests to even raising invoices for payment by your customers. Some of our beta pilot farmers call it; “the complete farming management portal”

Why did we decide to build FarmShield™?
95% of our farmers had major challenges controlling their greenhouse conditions and irrigation systems like drip and sprinkler on their open farms. We found that sensors would help farmers to automate some of these processes. However, when we tried ordering some existing solutions, there were some major setbacks
High cost of existing solutions
Low 3G/4G/WiFi connectivity in rural areas
Lack of electricity in rural areas
It was clear that we had to build our solution from the ground up with constant feedback from smallholder farmers on what they needed most and could afford.
