Business Overview
Our client is a social impact organization that has been working in Southeast Asia for over six years. They use technology and digital transformation to help small-plot farmers and agricultural companies create new business opportunities and mitigate risks. Their solutions include advanced tools, applications, and other products that facilitate seamless interactions among farming communities, financial institutions, and insurance companies. This integrated approach fosters a unified agricultural ecosystem.
Recognizing a gap in digital tools for small-scale agriculture, the client sought to enhance their product line with a mobile application that would provide flexible support to farmers, helping them manage crop-growing processes more effectively. To achieve this, they needed a tech partner capable of delivering a high-performance solution within a strict time frame. NIX stood out due to our expertise in mobile development, deep knowledge of agricultural technology, and proven success in building scalable systems that drive real impact.
Challenge
The project came with a demanding timeline. The client needed a functional demo on a tight deadline to secure investor support, requiring our team to rapidly prototype a working version without sacrificing excellence.
Additionally, the full-featured application had to be ready before the next sowing season. This required integrating complex third-party services while ensuring the app’s stability and usability in real-world agricultural settings.
NIX utilized efficient planning, agile development, and seamless implementation to meet these critical milestones without compromising performance.
Solution
We created a cross-platform application that helps farmers manage crop cultivation more effectively by providing AI-driven weather insights, location-based data, and seamless access to expert support. Given the tight deadline, we chose Flutter as the development framework, allowing us to build a high-performance mobile solution with a shared code base for Android and iOS. This way, we could deliver the app much quicker while maintaining its scalability and reliability.
The application offers two access levels:
- Limited access is available to all users who have installed the app. Users can utilize general features such as accessing basic guidelines and cultivation protocols.
- Extended access is granted upon the user’s legal registration. These farmers can unlock additional features such as enhanced company support and the option to apply for government-backed agribusiness loans.
Complex System Integrations
To ensure the app delivers accurate and actionable insights, NIX integrated multiple services. For instance, we connected the system with a third-party service that provides AI-powered weather and cultivation data, enabling farmers to make informed decisions based on climate conditions and intelligent recommendations. Additionally, we integrated Google Maps, satellite APIs, and other solutions to enhance location-based features, improving weather forecasting accuracy and field management.
These interconnected systems gave users a comprehensive tool for optimizing their farming operations.
Salesforce Integration
To streamline back-end processes, NIX integrated the app with Salesforce, equipping the client’s team with powerful user management and support tools. This integration enables seamless communication between farmers and the company’s support center, ensuring quick access to assistance and expert guidance. By centralizing these processes, we enhanced both user experience and operational efficiency.
Key Features
-
Field Management
Farmers can create and manage growing protocols, mark completed steps, and monitor crop progress. The system enables real-time updates, helping users stay on track with their cultivation plans.
-
Advanced Weather Forecasting
Integrated with a weather API, the app delivers detailed 24-hour and 14-day forecasts, along with weather insights relevant to each growing phase. Weather data can be overlaid on a regional map, displaying layers like cloud cover and precipitation.

Satellite-based Soil Analysis
Integration with Sentinel Hub allows farmers to access satellite imagery displaying soil conditions based on various agricultural parameters. These images are overlaid on a field map for better decision making.
-
Offline Mode and Seamless Sync
The app supports offline functionality, allowing users to work with files even without an internet connection. Data is synchronized with the back end once a connection is re-established.
-
Dedicated Farmer Support
The user can directly contact the support team to get recommendations throughout the growth process, request government-allocated loans, and more.
-
Smart Notifications
The app keeps farmers informed with real-time alerts on essential updates, including new tasks, weather changes, and system notifications. This ensures users never miss important developments that could impact their farming operations.
Outcome
By partnering with NIX, the client gained a powerful mobile application that expanded their market presence and strengthened their business model. The app enabled them to attract new users, establish more contracts, and increase engagement within the agricultural sector. As a result, they positioned themselves as a key enabler of digital transformation in farming.
For farmers, the solution provides invaluable support in optimizing crop cultivation, improving resource allocation, and making informed decisions based on real-time insights. The intuitive interface ensures that even those with minimal technical expertise can leverage the app’s full potential.
Through this collaboration, NIX delivered a scalable, future-ready solution that enhances agricultural efficiency and fosters innovation in the sector.
