Abstract

LLF Agrometeorologia e Soluções LTDA is developing the product Weather Service-Agro, an application (or Web platform) to assist the decision making of the farmer. The PIPE1 allowed to perform the proof of concept and development of the 'minimum viable product' (MVP) and the partnership with WBGI allowed to develop the entire structure of the company, from organizational management tools to the business plan. In this PIPE2 Project we propose to consolidate the development of the Application, the usability test with cooperatives, the market entry, and the development of new functions among them: Environmental Conditions and Plant Disease Favorability, Agrochemical Application Favorability: Spray Window, Fire Risk and Alert, Agroclimatic Favorability Index/Crop Projection, Surface Properties Observation Module and Seasonal Forecasting. Besides the Application, we will explore opportunities to sell access to our APIs and for this we are already in contact with some companies and developing a POC (Proof of Concept) with Serasa Experience.
