📊 LAYERS, our software, offers analytics to the agricultural sector with a large direct impact. For example, clients can improve the efficiency in treatments (sowing, fertilization, irrigation, etc.) and generate estimations in yield (tonnes per hectare), as well as quality estimates (e.g. soybeans protein quantity) for different crops. We know that producers, the agroindustry itself, or even insurance companies and traders in the agronomical sector are facing three main challenges, with a large impact in their gross margin:
- Crop Management
- Production yield and logistics
- Economical yield
- Climate change risk assessment
💧 💚 LAYERS helps minimize these risks through a high-quality continuous monitoring and predictions. We want to make LAYERS the core of all the yield-related
decisions in the agribusiness value-chain using data and statistics. Our slogan is
“Reshaping the future increasing land efficiency”
👾 The LAYERS Product Team is the main area of the company, where 14 persons are distributed in three squads: BackEnd, Data Intelligence, and UX/UI. Three-four weeks sprints are combined with sprint demos where all the company is updated with the
news in the product by all the members of the product team.
🌎🌏🌍LAYERS, is composed of a web-app and also a mobile-app. Our software constitutes the heart of the customer ecosystem where data analysis and prognosis is presented in an analytical and insightful web dashboard formats. Thanks to this, our customers can monitor their crops and perform better business decisions in their agro-industrial companies.
