MAP DATA INPUT ANALYSIS INSIGHTS Landkind is an easy-to-use web & mobile platform that provides the primary sector with data and maps to visualise, manage, and optimise land. We empower farmers to manage their environmental impact, save time on critical tasks, gain insights, and more. Making sound decisions on-farm Built on a spirit of helping agricultural and horticultural customers make informed decisions based on real-time data, the creators of GPS-it have created Landkind as a digital solution to unlock the value and power of mapping. GPS-it was founded twenty years ago to provide specialised mapping solutions to the primary sector. Matt Flowerday, founder and Managing Director of both GPS-it and Landkind, says the tools are deeply intertwined with each other. “At GPS-it, we’re going through this signi cant transformation into digital and Landkind is our digital tool for that. Landkind is a digital platform that needs maps and GPS-it provides those. Landkind takes maps and turns them into a digital asset that empowers work ow, management decisions, and the whole sustainability journey across the organisation.” The essence of Landkind is enabling a farmer or grower to capture good clean data and put that into a centralised system. Using GPS-it you have access to rich spatial data. “A lot of our work is digitising our customers’ work ows and making it easier for them to capture pieces of key data on their farms or orchards - for example, just doing a simple fruit count in the orchard and entering that straight into the Landkind app. We have a partnership with a company that has a fruit scanning gun. You can connect that device straight to our app and know the location, the time the sample was taken, and what varieties are being scanned. All of that is streamed back to an orchard manager or owner, who can automatically see the variation of quality across the orchard. You don’t have to add the block name or anything like that because that’s already recorded spatially on the map provided by GPS-it.” Suddenly, a useful tool is made even more powerful by spatially enabling it and storing that information in an easy-to-use platform. The owner can see the location of where all the fruit readings were taken, the distribution of dry matter across the orchard, identify high and low points and make harvesting decisions. “That’s happening in real-time as opposed to the scanner recording the numbers, putting it into a spreadsheet and saying this is what the average dry-matter is across the block. We’re looking at existing datasets that are already there, lling the gaps with our work ow management tools, while looking at different partner options that are out there and bringing their data into the Landkind platform to provide information around the overall sustainability of their operation.” While designed and developed with the end-user in mind, Landkind provides post- harvest operators and owners of multiple sites with an invaluable helicopter view of the entire operation under management. “Managers can see what’s happening across all their growers or a particular region or catchment and identify pain points and resource requirements ahead of time. That’s when the value of pooling all this information becomes even more powerful.”
