What we see in agriculture & greenhouses businesses
Cloverdale and the agricultural land around South Surrey and Langley are a big part of Surrey's economy. We understand long distances, rural internet and the reality that harvest season is not the time for IT problems.
Coverage across a big property
The office has internet; the greenhouse, barn and packing shed do not.
Seasonal staff
Crews arrive and leave every season, and accounts and devices pile up.
Equipment alerts
A heater, cooler or pump failure overnight can ruin a crop.
Records for buyers and audits
Spray, food safety and traceability records kept on paper.
