Our Services

Location and Data Services – Leverage the AGCommons infrastructure to add spatial intelligence to your data.

Our location services can provide additional context to you points or areas of interest.

We can compare your locations to our growing library of agriculture data layers to provide additional insight in to the site-specific conditions at those locations. We can help you answer questions such as:

• How accessible is my location to market centers?
• How are temperature and weather patterns changing at my location? or
• How many pest infestations on banana plants have recently been recorded within my district?

Our services give your locations added intelligence.

Data is only valuable if it is in a format that is usable for your needs. Geospatial data comes in a variety of formats, many of which are not accessible by common GIS tools. We provide an online translation service that will not only convert the format of spatial data but also alter its structure into something you can use.

Translations are provided on both a self-service basis for users who understand their formats and end user requirements and on a consultative basis for clients who require assistance in understanding the data they have and how it can be used.

Data – We can collect and organize location-specific spatial data to satisfy your project needs

From collecting data on the ground using a GPS to finding the best available imagery or statistical data, we can help. We can equip, train and manage efforts to collect simple points of interest such as market locations or precise plot areas to help calculate input needs. Additional needs are satisfied by our growing agricultural spatial data library, the resources of our partners and our global network.

Mapping – We can take your data, layer it with other relevant data, present it on a map and reveal new information to help your project come alive

The popular phrase “a picture is worth 1,000 words” is no truer than with a map. Maps reveal relationships, patterns and provide other insights that cannot be revealed through text alone. Using your project data and other sources from agriculture and geography experts, we can produce maps that will help you make better decisions, communicate more effectively with your stakeholders and ultimately optimize your project results.

Automation – We can build tools that make executing your map-based tasks as simple as pressing a button

Repetitive tasks and reusable processes often warrant some level of automation. Building applications around frequent mapping tasks can reduce costs, improve quality, and facilitate knowledge sharing. We can work with you to optimize your map-related workflows with the end result being less work, better service for stakeholders and reliably repeatable analysis.

Storage and Hosting – We can keep your data, maps and applications safe, accessible and shareable with others

Spatial data has unique storage requirements. The datasets tend to be very large, the number of users is great, and access is required from many different locations. Our spatial data infrastructure is made up of a secure environment, high performance servers and high bandwidth connectivity. We can ensure that your resources are available to you and your stakeholders whenever and wherever you want it.
