Herdade da Comporta partnered with Axians to build a smart agriculture technology platform that connects every layer of their operation – combining a mobile field app to log crop samples, lab analyses and GPS locations in real time, with Power BI dashboards that give managers full visibility over storage conditions, weather patterns, market prices, and financial results.
Results
| Single Source of Truth
A centralised data warehouse consolidated ERP, weather, lab, market and sensor data across 11,000 hectares, replacing scattered sources with one platform.
