Project Solution

Keeper Solutions designed and developed an iOS mobile application and a complementary desktop user interface that combine weather data, field geolocation, and nozzle size/pressure to calculate a Sprayability Index. They integrated three domain databases (Crop Type, Seed Trait, Herbicide) and implemented a social feature that lets users invite neighbors to improve the platform's predictive algorithm. The vendor staffed the engagement with a cross-functional team including UI/UX, architecture, iOS, Python/Django, React, DevOps, and QA resources.
