Agro Liquid Inc
Overview:
AgroLiquid Inc is a company specializing in the production and distribution of liquid fertilizers. They aim to provide farmers with efficient and precise fertilizer solutions to enhance crop yield and soil health. AgroLiquid Inc. sought a technological solution to support this mission to help farmers and company agents make informed decisions based on soil testing and crop planning.
Project Objective
The objective was to develop a web and mobile application that enables farmers to:
Key Features:
- Soil Testing Report Input:
– Farmers can input detailed soil testing reports, including parameters like nitrogen, potassium, and other essential nutrients.
- Crop Planning:
– Farmers enter the crops grown in the previous year, the crops they plan to grow in the current year, and their expected yield.
- Product Recommendations:
– Based on the soil report and crop planning, the application provides recommendations on which AgroLiquid products to use and the required quantities per acre.
Key Features:
- Local Database Implementation:
– To accommodate farmers in areas with poor or no network connectivity, the application includes a local database for offline functionality. Data syncs with the server when the device reconnects to the network.
- Data Synchronization:
– Automatic synchronization of locally stored data with the central server once the device detects an internet connection, ensuring data consistency and accessibility.
- Admin Application:
– An admin application was developed to track requests from farmers or agents. Due to the confidentiality of farm lab test data, this app was not published in public app stores. Instead, it was distributed via APK or TestFlight installations only to registered farmers and agents.
Development Process
Requirement Gathering:
– Conducted detailed meetings with AgroLiquid Inc. stakeholders to understand their requirements and expectations.
– Collected information on the types of soil testing reports and the parameters involved.
– Defined the process for crop planning and product recommendation.
Design and Architecture:
– Designed the system architecture, including the local database schema and server-side components.
– Created user interface (UI) mockups for both web and mobile applications, ensuring an intuitive user experience.
Technology Stack:
– Web Application: PHP Laravel for the backend, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end.
– Mobile Application: Native development for Android and iOS.
– Database: SQLite for local storage, MySQL for the central server.
Implementation:
– Developed web and mobile applications with a focus on seamless offline functionality.
– Implemented data synchronization logic to handle various network conditions.
– Developed the admin application with enhanced security measures to protect confidential data.
Testing:
– Conducted thorough testing in simulated and real-world conditions to ensure reliability and accuracy.
– Performed usability testing with a small group of farmers to gather feedback and make necessary adjustments.
Deployment:
– Deployed the web application on AWS for scalability and reliability.
– Distributed the mobile applications via APK for Android and TestFlight for iOS to registered users only.
– Distributed the admin application via APK and TestFlight installations to registered users only.
Training and Support:
– Provided training sessions for farmers and company agents to familiarize them with the application.
– Established a support system for ongoing assistance and troubleshooting.
Web Application: PHP Laravel for the backend, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end.
Our Tech Stack
Database: SQLite for local storage, MySQL for the central server.
Mobile Application: Native development for Android and iOS.
Results and Benefits:
Improved Decision-Making: Farmers now have access to precise recommendations tailored to their specific soil conditions and crop plans, leading to better crop yields.
Increased Efficiency: The application streamlined the process of soil testing and product recommendation, saving time and reducing guesswork.
Offline Functionality: The local database implementation ensured that farmers could use the app even in remote areas with poor network coverage.
Data Consistency: Automatic data synchronization maintained data integrity and provided a seamless user experience.
Secure Data Management: The admin application ensured that confidential farm lab test data was securely managed and accessed only by registered users.
Conclusion
The web and mobile application developed for AgroLiquid Inc. successfully addressed the needs of farmers and company agents by providing a reliable, user-friendly tool for soil testing, crop planning, and product recommendation. The inclusion of an admin application for tracking requests further enhanced data security and management. The project’s success showcases the potential of integrating technology with agriculture to enhance productivity and efficiency.
