Nirby
Nirby provides an integrated farm management platform that combines satellite crop monitoring, soil testing, fertilization planning, inventory, machinery, and financial analysis in one browser-based system. The platform uses Sentinel-2 satellite imagery to compute NDVI, NDMI, and NDRE indices, and automatically syncs field operations across all modules. It serves commercial farming operations with a per-hectare subscription model starting at 24 PLN per hectare per year.

Problem
Commercial farms often juggle multiple disconnected tools for field records, satellite monitoring, fertilization plans, inventory, and financial analysis, forcing farmers to retype data across systems and hunt through spreadsheets. This fragmentation makes it difficult to track true production costs per hectare during the season and delays decisions about fertilization, crop protection, and field management.
Solution
Nirby provides an integrated, browser-based farm management platform that brings fields, satellite data, soil information, fertilization plans, field operations, inventory, machinery, teams, and finances into one system. Data entered once—such as a completed field operation or an uploaded invoice—automatically updates field history, inventory, crop protection records, fertiliser plans, and financial analysis. The platform uses Sentinel-2 satellite imagery to compute NDVI, NDMI, and NDRE indices, enabling farmers to monitor crop condition every few days and identify field variability. Nirby also supports soil sampling by generating satellite-based zones, guiding operators to points via a mobile app, and turning lab results into nutrient maps that feed directly into variable-rate application maps. A modular pricing structure lets farms pay per hectare per year for the specific functionality they need.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial farming operations, particularly large Polish farms and agricultural enterprises such as Kombinat Rolny Kietrz and DANKO Hodowla Roślin, as well as agronomists and farm operators needing integrated field, financial, and precision agriculture tools.
Features
- Satellite crop monitoring with NDVI, NDMI, and NDRE indices at 10-metre resolution from Copernicus Sentinel-2, with new images available every few days
- Soil sampling zones drawn from satellite image history, with mobile app navigation to sampling points and automated mapping of lab results into phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and pH nutrient maps
- Production cost analysis that automatically combines product usage, machine rates (depreciation, fuel, operator time, repairs), and labor from work reports into cost per hectare and field-level profit/loss calculations
- Variable-rate application (VRA) maps and precision fertiliser plans that use satellite-derived productivity zones and soil test data, exportable as ISOXML or Shapefile for ISOBUS terminals
- Automatic inventory tracking that updates stock levels and assigns costs to fields when field operations are completed, including invoice parsing from PDF or Excel uploads
- Operator work management with job cards, scheduling, and machinery telemetry integration, plus a mobile app for field work notes and inventory access
- Fertiliser planning compliant with Nitrates Directive and eco-schemes, plus digital crop protection records
- Financial analysis module that rolls up costs and revenue into per-field and whole-farm season summaries with cost and revenue structure breakdowns
- R&D project developing an autonomous drone for real-time, in-field soil analysis without lab processing, with patent applications in 16+ countries
