What we were challenged with

There is a lack of agronomists in the market, leaving many farmers without access to soil science. We needed to develop a solution that allowed our clients to grow their market share, and figure out what features would be needed in order to get customers to pay for the software.

How we overcame this challenge

We partnered with Skudu to develop their digital strategy. While we had an idea of where to start and could begin developing the foundation of the end system immediately, we spent months having face to face meetings with Skudu's proposed clients - trying to get a deep understanding of the market problem and what solution we would need to come up with.
We had to pivot our approach twice. In the end, we built a solution that would generate hundreds of thousands in revenue, get accepted into the Akro Accelerate program, be invited to London to be presented on stage at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit, represent Cape Town at the Seedstars Africa Summit, and receive investment.

We are still continuously adding new features to the platform, offering our team as a completely remote extended agile team.
