Business-Bulk Tanks
Bulk tanks at customer location. Product in tank belongs to us. Customer “buys” by removing product from tank.
Sensors on tanks report in 4x per day. Mapping of tanks reflects, sales, weather
patterns, and farmer preferences.
Pest Distributions
Pests can be weeds, insects or disease. Mapping resistant weeds is a sales
opportunity (lost or gained) Mapping insects shows where farmers
are/will have problems - can be done on field scale.
Mapping product disease problems is also important.
Customer Support Information
Internal Customer Support- Interactive Maps to Show Sales Reps for any area
Plant Disease Models- Evaluates likelihood of disease based on known contributing factors, maps the result, and can send e-mails to customers warning about conditions.
