Complexity of Existing System: Farmers had to navigate through multiple Excel spreadsheets to determine water requirements and technical specifications for pumps. This error-prone process required frequent expert intervention, leading to delays and extensive communication. Data Migration Issues: Updating and publishing new versions of Excel files led to manual data migration, increasing the risk of errors and inefficiencies. Technical Constraints: The application needed to function effectively in areas with unstable internet connectivity and comply with legal requirements to avoid using the Excel format in the web application.
The application was designed to support offline mode to address unreliable internet connectivity. It allows farmers to input data, navigate the app, and perform calculations without a constant internet connection.
Developed with Progressive Web App (PWA) capabilities to ensure accessibility on both web browsers and mobile devices. The design focused on a simple and intuitive user interface accommodating users with limited technical knowledge.
By replacing complex Excel files with a user-friendly web application, Ragnarson significantly streamlined the process for farmers, reducing errors and dependency on experts.
The application was designed to be accessible on various devices, including mobile phones, ensuring farmers could use it in the field regardless of their internet connectivity.
Moving away from the Excel format to a simplified application version ensured compliance with legal requirements while still delivering accurate calculations.
By providing a robust, scalable solution, Ragnarson enabled Margraf Publishers to expand its reach and impact, positioning it as a key player in the climate tech sector for agricultural solutions.
