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.
