Developing Crop Consulting App

This project is to build a mobile application that will allow partner’s clients to use it on their mobile device to access their farm data and receive ongoing recommendations from consultants. The project will benefit the partner organization by improving the communication between consultants and their client farmers. Currently, consultants print out their recommendations for farmers or sent it through mail. It is not easy to get timely or reliable feedback from farmers using paper and regular mail. After this project is completed, consultants can forward their recommendations to the farmer via the mobile device application directly and get farmer’s feedback as soon as the farmer confirms from their device. This will improve the quality of their service and attract more customers for them, which can increase their market share.
