CropWatch®|United States & Global

Environmental monitoring, proven

What sets us apart?

We built our hardware from the ground up - for one simple reason, we tried every other device on the market and they all failed in their own unique way.
The IoT market is flooded with consumer-grade devices, some better, others worse.
In such a market, we found our niche by building a system that keeps sending data, when all other devices go dark.

What makes a truly great IoT Service

  • check Devices simply run. Seeing a failed device just shouldn't happen.
  • check If a device ever does fail, we replace it. We don't just transfer you to sales again.
  • check Data must be correct.
  • check Products that make a difference.
    Make people's jobs easier, AND improve outcomes for all.

Why CropWatch

It's simple, we are a customer-centric company.

Today way too many companies across all industries ignore the customer. Automate call centers, hide support, and move on after the sale. That is where our strategy is different.

Solid Hardware

Solid hardware that doesn't break down is what everyone wants. This means more uptime, less support, and more trust in the data. Our devices are built to last. We don't tolerate devices that fail, and we continuously improve our hardware if we ever find a weakness in the real-world deployment.

ISO/IEC 17025 certified

We have had issues in the past finding the "TRUE" value from sensors. It can be difficult when you have doubt in your sensor, and you also doubt your calibration hardware as well. That is why we have left the calibration up to the experts. Our sensors are calibrated by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, and the calibration is traceable to NIST standards.

fact_check

Dual-sensor verified

On the same note as calibration, we have also tried other sensors that have given us false readings that looked plausible.

Our innovative sensors feature dual-sensor verification, which means if one sensor fails, the other sensor will catch it and alert you that the sensor is bad and we don't send any data, because we believe no data is always better than wrong data.

Real Support

Finally, if you ever do run into a problem, we have a real (human) support team that is ready to help you. We don't hide behind a call center, and we don't outsource our support. We are here to help you, and we will do whatever it takes to make sure you are satisfied with our products and services.

Simple by design

All your locations, grouped and glanceable.

Sensors can easily be organized, filtered and sorted. Anything that needs attention jumps out and everything else fades into the background - the same clean view on the desktop on your wall and the phone in your pocket. Your team spends its day on the work that matters, not on chasing data points.

    Grouped by location Group sensors by site, zone, location, and then organize them within those groups. The dashboard shows you the big picture, and lets you drill down to the details.
  • visibility
    Quick statusNo wasting time. Here are the numbers, and you can get back to what you were doing.
    The purpose of our application isn't to make you use it more, we want you to use it faster, and get back to what really matters to you.
  • devices
    Same view everywhere Desktop, tablet, phone - the same clean view on the wall and in your pocket. No learning a new interface for each device. Set a filter once for the view you want, and it sticks across all devices.

No surprise invoices
