- Flyway — Owning a pied-à-terre in a city you regularly visit is unnecessarily difficult. You end up wasting money on rentals and hotels, since buying a whole property is simply not affordable. We created Flyway to change that.You can now co-own a second home, in your favorite city, at a fraction of the price.A share of 1/12 gives you up to 30 daysof stay annually in your city home. Want more? You can buy more shares! You own the asset, not a block of time. Flyway deals with all the hassle of ownership, so that you simply land and enjoy your city getaway.HOW WE DO IT BEHIND THE SCENESWe identify top-notch properties, in top locations that we can supercharge with smart features. We then set up an LTD (Limited Liability Company) that acquires the property. That LTD is split into 12 equal shares, and each share costs 1/12 of the total house price. A buyer can buy up to half of the property (6 shares). WHAT YOU GETYou get ownership of a second home suited to your budget and needs. Whether you use it for leisure, work or you simply believe in the property’s potential as an investment, you have the rights to the asset. You can use and resell your share when you want. Meanwhile, you get to enjoy upscale, smart living in very prime properties, downtown, without any of the headaches of maintenance, cleaning and bill handling. Flyway acts as the Property Manager, taking all the hassle of ownership away from you, so that you simply land and enjoy your home.

Among over 100 clients are: Mc Donald’s, Rabobank, Carrefour,Walmart, Itaú BBA, Cofco, International, Sicredi, JBS, Cargill.Agrotools´ digital solutions are based on a geographic platform of patented technology, developed exclusively for agribusiness. The Brazilian technology, combined with one of the largest and more complete databases in the world of agribusiness, along with our multidisciplinary team, provide AT with the capacity to interpret and deliver powerful insights and tools for business and management. In practice, these tools allow big corporations to understand all that happens with their clients and/or suppliers spread through the rural territory, which, before the arrival of remote monitoring platforms such as Agrotools, was a very difficult and slow task.It is about bringing the rural territory and the corporate world closer together. Connecting land with businesses and strategy.With Agrotools, a bank can digitize its rural credit operation, allowing for a dynamic and integrated risk monitoring, based on field data collection, collateral asset management, market and environmental compliance, all under one single platform.A retail company can, for example, verify if its´ supply chain is in conformity with requisites of national and international agreements (or other criteria of choosing). Which, in a time of highly disseminated information and social concern for transparency and innovation, can prevent institutional crises. In the same way, the use of smart digital solutions can enhance the value of corporations´ biggest asset: the brand. The amount of information captured and analyzed daily by the platform requires an enormous capacity. There are over 200 thousand analysis each day, that cover over 200 million hectares (area superior to France, Italy, Germany and Denmark altogether). The promotion of responsible social and environmental practices has led Agrotools to be recognized, in June of 2018, as a B corporation. This important international certificate attests to a business model that envisions social and environmental development combined with good practices of work and transparency. The AgTech was also accredited by Great Place to Work (institution that evaluates good people management practices). Both credentials are only granted after deep research and diagnosis of the organization.
