Field-data platforms · Geospatial mapping · Integrations · Programme technology
We build the systems that field programmes run on.
Farmer and plot registries, agronomic monitoring, satellite crop maps, and the integrations that put the data where decisions are made. Built in Nairobi; running in Rwanda, Ethiopia and Kenya.

Start where you sit.
What we build
Four things, done end to end.
Each one is scoped in writing, prototyped early, piloted in the field, and run after go-live.
Our platform
OriginTrace: farmer and plot registration, agronomic monitoring and provenance for coffee.
Field teams register farmers and walk plot boundaries on offline-first Android devices. Agronomists score Good Agricultural Practice on every visit. Cooperatives and associations get a clean register, plot geometry and delivery records that prove origin to buyers and regulators. In production with CIRAD-supported cooperatives in Rwanda and Ethiopia.

Predicted tea fraction
Sentinel-2 · 10 m · 2023
Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2023.
Mapping
Where the tea actually is.
From open satellite data and 16,825 hand-labelled fields, we mapped 282,727 hectares of Kenyan tea at field level. The same method applies to coffee, macadamia and any crop a register needs to see.

Featured work
Delivered, with the numbers to prove it.
We stay after go-live.
Every system we build comes with its operation: hosting, backups, monitoring, user support and the suppliers around it. For a small number of organisations we run the whole technology function the same way, from Microsoft 365 and helpdesk to the suppliers and licences behind them. One accountable partner, in Nairobi since 2022.
