Digital agricultural solutions for sustainable impact
Agricultural technology | Consultancy | USER-Centered Design
SmartFarming BV develops data-driven software, tools, and mobile apps that give farmers, extension officers, and agribusinesses the right information at the right time, helping them make decisions that drive sustainable growth.
Solutions and services
Crop management Apps
Improve crop productivity with our Android and web apps, designed to support farmers, field managers, and extension agents. Our tools help with planning, pest and disease monitoring, yield estimation, and irrigation, enabling better day-to-day decisions in the field.
For example, the SmartFarming Potato India App gives smallholder farmers spraying advice based on real-time weather and crop conditions, helping them increase yields and profits.
SMS & IVR Communication Systems
We build two-way SMS and interactive voice response (IVR) systems that function on basic phones without internet. These systems deliver market prices, extension tips, weather alerts, and surveys directly to farmers in their language. With no smartphone required, these tools ensure no one is left behind due to connectivity or device constraints.
Monitoring, Evaluation & learning (MEL)
We design and implement custom MEL frameworks, data collection tools (ODK, KoBoToolbox), Power BI dashboards, and impact reporting systems. Our MEL work is designed to meet donor requirements, while being grounded in real field data. We support the full cycle from data collection design to automated reporting and adaptive learning.
Integrated data solutions
Our Integrated Data Solutions help optimise your agri-chain by providing real-time data, traceability, and transparency. We offer tailored tools for data collection, monitoring, and reporting, supported by advanced analytics to give deeper insights into performance. Our communication services also enable smooth collaboration across the value chain, helping teams stay connected and make informed decisions.
Digital Farmer Registration & ID
We register farmers with unique digital IDs, QR cards, and GPS-mapped farm boundaries. Every farmer gets a permanent profile linked to their land, inputs, and outputs, enabling tracking, reporting, and traceability across entire outgrower schemes and programs. This forms the backbone of any farmer-facing digital system and is a prerequisite for credible impact measurement.
Real-time FIELD monitoring and smart sensing
Use real-time monitoring and smart sensing to better understand your farm. Our solutions combine IoT, GPS, and satellite data to track soil, weather, and crop health, helping farmers spot issues early and make better decisions.
For example, we use satellite data to provide real-time alerts that help sugarcane farmers manage their crops more effectively.
Agroforestry & Land Mapping
We conduct participatory field mapping with GPS and drone support, including polygon field boundary mapping, land-use analysis, and agroforestry typology assessments. This work supports conservation programs, climate finance, and agricultural planning, integrating spatial data with digital farmer profiles.
Outgrower Scheme Management
End-to-end digital support for outgrower schemes: farmer profiles, input distribution tracking, harvest collection records, payment management, and automated reporting for buyers and NGOs. Our FMIS is standardized and brandable, allowing agribusinesses and NGOs to deploy a ready-made system in weeks rather than months.
Advisory & Capacity Building
We support organizations in digitalization strategy, MEL system design, and team capacity building. We conduct digital readiness assessments, co-design implementation roadmaps, and deliver hands-on training. We share tools, templates, and open-source resources so clients can sustain systems independently
Categories of clients we work for
We work with a wide range of clients across the agricultural ecosystem, including farmers, cooperatives, agribusinesses, research institutions, and development programmes. Our solutions are tailored to the needs of each group, helping them make better decisions, improve productivity, and achieve sustainable impact.
Farmers & Outgrowers
Our solutions are designed to meet the needs of farmers and outgrowers. Through our crop management and market apps, they can plan activities, monitor pests and diseases, estimate yields, and manage irrigation more effectively. We also provide two-way communication tools that deliver timely updates on weather, crops, market information and best practices. By focusing on user-friendly design, we ensure these tools are simple to use and truly support farmers in their daily work.
Agribusinesses
Our Integrated Data Solutions help optimise your agri-chain by providing real-time data, traceability, and transparency. We offer tailored tools for data collection, monitoring, and reporting, supported by advanced analytics to give deeper insights into performance. Our communication services also enable smooth collaboration across the value chain, helping teams stay connected and make informed decisions.
Cooperatives
Our solutions support cooperatives by improving coordination, communication, and access to information. With tools for crop management, data tracking, and messaging, members can plan better, share knowledge, and ensure quality and traceability. We also provide learning platforms that give access to expert advice and help cooperatives grow together.
Development programmes
We support development programmes with effective data collection, monitoring, and evaluation tools that provide real-time insights for better decision-making. Our user-centered approach ensures solutions fit the needs of farmers, while our learning platforms give them access to practical knowledge and expert support for more sustainable farming.
NOn governmental organisations
We support NGOs with tools that make it easier to collect, manage, and use field data. Our solutions help track progress, measure impact, and improve decision-making with real-time insights, while also strengthening communication with farmers. This enables NGOs to deliver better programmes, improve accountability, and achieve more sustainable results.
Research programes
Our Data Analytics and Reporting solutions help research programmes capture and analyse crop trends, turning data into clear insights through dashboards and visual tools. We work closely with researchers to design workflows that support decision-making, transparency, and impactful outcomes.
