How does it work?

The process start when farmers, technical assistants, researchers and others collect data in the field. Once they have collected data (could be online or offline) they should send this information to central repository, this process we called sync data. Then an administrator user should takes those data and pass them through a set of pipes, which ones will clear data. In the process of transforming the system applies a set of filters and rules in order to assurance the quality data, then it will save all records into a central database.

Once the data are stored into the database, they are ready to be anaylized with many methodologys: Bussines intelligence, Machine Learning, Artifical intelligence, etc. When the results are ready, we can show them through interactive plots that users can understand.

The following picture shows how the general process is:
