Digital Solution
Agrithmics

country Sri Lanka

Agrithmics is an Internet of Things (IoT) enabled and cloud based agri-tech solution for the small-hold farmers, factories and regional plantation companies. It digitally integrates their procurement and payment disbursement operation whilst improving efficiency and transparency of its process. The platform also enables a quick and simple payment system as well as ease-of-use and access by farmers and workers. Currently, a small-hold tea farmer who is connected via the Agrithmics platform has quick access to payments instead of the extensive 30 to 40 day waiting period that was the norm previously. Additionally, the Agrithmics platform also adds significant value to B2B agricultural industries such as tea factories and regional plantation companies, who benefit from its end-to-end process automation integration and produce procurement transparency.
