Problem
Farmers often lack precise, real-time data on soil moisture, weather, and water usage, leading to inefficient irrigation, wasted water resources, and suboptimal crop yields, especially under increasing climate variability.
Solution
Sowit offers an integrated farm management platform that combines IoT‑enabled sensors—including soil moisture probes, weather stations, flow meters, and water‑level monitors—with a cloud‑based analytics engine. The system streams real‑time measurements to mobile and web applications, where it generates alerts, actionable insights, and automated irrigation recommendations. By correlating environmental conditions with crop needs, Sowit enables growers to schedule irrigation more accurately, conserve water, and improve productivity. The platform also supports additional modules for fruit size monitoring and energy consumption, extending its utility beyond irrigation to broader resource management.
Target Audience
Sowit’s primary customers are commercial farmers, agribusinesses, and large‑scale growers in regions where water efficiency and climate resilience are critical.
