The growth of the world population, the intense pressure on natural resources and climate change challenge the entire farming system to produce more, waste less and market better, based on sustainability and transparency throughout the entire farming process.

The introduction of a set of digital technologies that are integrated and connected using systems and equipment capable of optimizing farm production at every step. Technological innovations provide more agility, autonomy, connectivity and integration to production and management processes. In addition, it provides farmers with tools and constant real-time information on production, which allow them to work precisely and use their time and resources more efficiently.

S2i for Farming was developed in 2012, aimed at Contract Farming, with the development of a document management system and process management throughout the entire production cycle, from the enrollment of farmers, georeferencing of areas to be cultivated, extensionist activities, delivery of production factors, evolution monitoring and purchases of cultivated crops to payment and settlement of debts.

With a sophisticated search engine, it has become possible to relate entities, forms, processes and documents in a way that makes access to information faster and easier.

The use of the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) method of continuous improvement and, no less importantly, the need felt by clients resulted in S2i evolving to a Web platform, RIA (Rich Internet Applications).

The questions being asked by our clients led us to design new tools based on technological development and to be capable of responding to the challenges presented by Agriculture 4.0.
