CASE 1 – OPTIMIZATION AND SAVINGS

Less paper, more efficiency 

Thanks to Wisecrop, the farm left Excel and paper behind, saving several hours of work daily and ensuring flawless traceability.

PROBLEM

The Challenge

Before Wisecrop, Alexandra dealt with obstacles in daily record-keeping.

Manual, time-consuming management

of records, often done in Excel or on paper.

Duplicated processes

Data was jotted down in the field and transcribed at the end of the day.

An increasingly demanding field logbook

Carrying the risk of non-compliance.
If it weren't truly worth it, we wouldn't keep using or updating Wisecrop.

CASE 2 – PRODUCTIVITY AND GROWTH

Digitizing the harvest to gain time and clarity

With Fruitrack, Ovelha Azul replaced manual records and Excel spreadsheets with automatic, real-time reports, gaining daily efficiency and greater control over the entire harvest.

PROBLEM

The Challenge

Before Wisecrop, Alexandra faced the following obstacles in daily harvest logging.

Scattered and unreliable data

With manual records, there was a risk of incorrect or forgotten values.

Tiring, repetitive process

Converting manual notes into digital reports.

Lack of real-time information

Harvest management depended on reports made at the end of the day.
We save time not only on daily tasks, but also on seasonal ones, across different stages of the crop.

CASE 3 – FIELD VISIBILITY

Smart decisions that save water and ensure results

Continuous soil moisture monitoring and remote control of the irrigation controller brought precision, confidence, and informed decisions, ensuring a balance between productivity and environmental responsibility.

PROBLEM

The Challenge

Before Wisecrop, Carlos faced some obstacles:

Lack of organized history

There were no continuous records to compare seasons or assess improvements in water management.

Management poorly adapted to weather variations

The lack of data made it difficult to adjust irrigation for drier or wetter years.

Lack of reliable data to support decisions

Irrigation was set based on experience, making precise adjustments to the crop's real needs difficult.

 
These devices help enormously. It's only with the probes and the Agronic that we've managed to save more water and meet SPRING's goals
