The field layer
Sensors, GPS and connected equipment reporting soil, weather and machine data from places with no reliable connection.
Overview
Agritech is ordinary software under unusual constraints. The user is wearing gloves, the signal is intermittent, the hardware predates the software by a decade, and being wrong about irrigation costs a season rather than a sprint.
Sensors, GPS and connected equipment reporting soil, weather and machine data from places with no reliable connection.
Cloud storage and analytics that turn a season of readings into yield forecasts, early warnings and decisions you can defend.
Mobile apps a field team can actually use: offline-first, glove-friendly, and syncing the moment a signal returns.
What We Build
Eight builds covering the operation end to end, from what a sensor reads in a field to what an agribusiness invoices at the end of the season.
Field activities, equipment, labour, inventory and finances centralised in one platform, so planning is done against what is actually happening rather than what was assumed in January.
GPS, IoT sensors and mapping applied at field level, so water, fertiliser and pesticide go where they are needed rather than everywhere equally.
Operations, supply chain and customer management joined up, with workflows built for agribusiness rather than retrofitted from a generic ERP.
Sensors, devices and automation reporting field conditions in real time, driving irrigation and crop care with less manual work behind them.
Crop health tracked against live data, so problems surface early and yield forecasting rests on measurement rather than experience alone.
Animal health, feeding, breeding and compliance in one record, with the traceability an audit asks for already in place.
Field teams reading and updating records anywhere, including in low-connectivity areas, with changes syncing once a signal returns.
Disease detection, yield forecasting and process automation, reducing manual error and making the next decision better informed than the last.
How We Work
Seven stages, with testing that happens in a field rather than only on a desk. Agritech fails in ways an office never reproduces.
Step 1
What we do: We work through how the operation actually runs, where the time and margin are lost, and what the software has to change. Scope and objectives come out of that rather than out of a feature list.
What you get
Step 2
What we do: Technical specification, architecture and a roadmap with dated milestones, including how the platform will talk to equipment and sensors already on the ground.
What you get
Step 3
What we do: Interfaces designed for farmers and field workers first: mobile-led, readable in sunlight, and usable without a manual or a spare hand.
What you get
Step 4
What we do: Built in agile sprints with regular demos, so feedback from the people who will use it in the field lands while it is still cheap to act on.
What you get
Step 5
What we do: Quality assurance including field testing with real users and real equipment, because connectivity, weather and gloves are not conditions a desk reproduces.
What you get
Step 6
What we do: Launch with training, documentation and data migration support, so an operation moving off spreadsheets does not lose its history in the process.
What you get
Step 7
What we do: Maintenance, updates and feature work as the operation changes. Seasons shift, hardware is replaced, and the software has to keep up with both.
What you get
Why Sphinx
Agriculture software lives or dies on whether it works where there is no signal, integrates with equipment nobody wants to replace, and earns its place in a working day that is already full.
How We Engage
As a leading AI development company, we offer three fully transparent engagement models designed to build enterprise AI without surrendering control, IP ownership, or delivery accountability.
01
Fixed-scope, milestone-based billing, perfect for AI PoCs, ML projects, and RAG solutions. It sets clear deliverables, timelines, and costs, giving you complete budget certainty from start to finish.
02
Billed per sprint hours with a reprioritisable backlog and monthly invoicing. Ideal for LLM apps, agentic AI systems, and evolving AI products shaped by user feedback and advancing model capabilities.
03
An AI team embedded in your workflow (engineers, scientists, and MLOps specialists), delivering senior-level work and helping you scale capability without building an in-house team from scratch.
Expert Insights
There is no single best large language model for every business. Open-source models offer greater control and customisation, while closed-source models provide faster deployment and advanced capabilities. The right choice depends on your goals, data privacy requirements, scalability needs, and long-term AI strategy.
Tell us how the operation runs today. We will scope the software around it.
Connect with us
Tell us the crops, the acreage and the equipment. We will scope the build around all three.

Building digital tools for farming and agribusiness: farm management systems, crop monitoring apps, livestock tracking and smart farming platforms, all aimed at making an operation more efficient and more measurable.
It automates the repetitive parts, tracks crops and livestock in real time and improves resource planning. The practical effect is that decisions are made against current data from one place, rather than reconstructed later from several.
AI, IoT sensors, cloud computing, GPS and data analytics. Together they monitor fields, predict yields, automate processes and provide the real-time picture that farming decisions increasingly depend on.
It varies with features and complexity. Basic solutions may start around $25,000, while advanced platforms run beyond $100,000. We quote after a scoping conversation rather than from a price list.
Yes. Modern platforms connect to tractors, irrigation systems and sensors, which means data is captured automatically rather than typed in later, and equipment performance is visible alongside everything else.
Software that manages a farm at field level rather than as a single unit. Water, fertiliser and pesticide are applied where the data says they are needed, which improves yield while reducing both waste and cost.
IoT devices collect live data on soil, weather and crops. That supports automated irrigation, continuous monitoring and early detection of problems, which is usually the difference between an adjustment and a loss.
Yes. Cloud platforms provide encryption, backups and controlled access, along with the reliability and scalability an operation needs as it grows. Access control matters here: farm and financial data sit in the same system.
Yes. We build agriculture apps offline-first. Field teams record data, manage tasks and update information with no connection, and everything syncs once a signal returns.
Most operations look at a 2 to 3 year horizon, through lower costs, better yields and improved decision-making. The real figure depends on your starting point and how much of the operation the software covers, which is what a scoping conversation establishes.
