Lady and gentlemen!
Need Your advice concerning potential vendor of field vegetation monitoring system for CIS. Currently me and my team consult a farm business owner who has 7,500 ha of black earth in Ukraine. In our view such a system will help him to optimize fuel, oil, fertilizers and working time expenditure as well as to stay informed 24/7. We've already seen such solution on some farms in Netherlands and Germany, but unfortunately lost those people contacts.
Yesterday I received an offer from satellite field management system called Cropio (USA/Germany origin). At first glance looks attractive. What I like about it is its price which implies a possibility of discount, huge historical database, simple efficient interface and integration with different types of computers, incl. smartphones.
Tomorrow I'll see a presentation and ask questions to CIS representatives team. If I don't find any mismatches as compared to advertising booklet - I can point it out as potential vendor to be contracted. What is currently not clear for me is (1) regularity of updates (2) precision of weather forecast (3) potential compatibility with machinery and accounting systems.
Have you heard about this or other systems? I have about two weeks to make a final decision to present it to the land owner.
