Features
Built for programme teams, not app-store adoption.
AgriData keeps the field interface simple while giving institutional teams the structure, control and evidence layer they need behind the scenes.

Each organisation gets its own pest set, observation fields, rating scales, escalation rules and review process.
Live maps and triage
Programme teams see verified reports, hotspots, severity and weather context in a dashboard built for operational decisions.
Reports and audit trails
Turn field activity into defensible PDF reports, exports and evidence for government, research and donor programme needs.
Live workflow
From field message to institutional evidence.

Impact
Three pilots. Three workflows. One configurable platform.
The same platform supports national migratory pest surveillance, research-board advisory/reporting and sugarcane scouting because workflows are configured per institution rather than hard-coded per crop.

Phase 1 learning shaped the Mashonaland East rollout.
From January to April 2026, field officers submitted GPS-tagged, severity-rated pest reports via WhatsApp, reviewed on a central dashboard. Off the back of that, the Department authorised an expanded implementation across eight districts in Mashonaland East.

Kutsaga
A commercial path through research and contractor channels.
Pest rating scales were defined for aphids, mealybug, budworm and false wireworm, with a WhatsApp reporting flow and review dashboard built to Kutsaga's specifications. Trial deployment is being arranged.

ZSAES
Sugarcane scouting data moves from field routine to review dashboard.
The ZSAES workflow turns scout and field-assistant observations into structured submissions that can be reviewed immediately, with future advisory and validation layered on top of the captured data.
"The platform addresses a genuine challenge in timely pest surveillance and reporting, while building on communication tools already familiar to field officers."
"We regard the technical work carried out with us as competent and responsive to our requirements."
"The first win is simple: submit the scouting record and see it on the dashboard immediately."
Government and donor surveillance
MPBC proves field surveillance for public-good pest response.
Research-board channels
Kutsaga proves scientific credibility and scaled farmer access.
Institutional SaaS
ZSAES proves structured scouting for estates, mills and research teams.
Trust
Data governance that matches institutional buying reality.
AgriData is designed for organisations that are trusted with field data and need clear ownership, review and reporting controls before they scale a workflow.
Organisation-level data boundaries
Each institution manages its own users, workflows, reports and review process.
Reviewed operational evidence
Reports move through dashboard triage before they become programme evidence or exports.
Audit-ready records
Structured submissions, locations, timestamps and reviewer notes stay attached to the report trail.
Exportable programme data
Maps, PDFs and archives support government, research-board and donor reporting needs.

About
AgriData Technologies builds the data layer between field teams and decision makers.
Built by AakiTech, the team combines local product strategy, field partner relationships and software delivery for African agricultural institutions.
We focus on agricultural institutions across Zimbabwe and Southern Africa: ministries, research boards, crop associations, donor programmes and implementing partners that need reliable field data without rolling out new mobile apps.
The platform is multi-tenant and configuration-driven. Each organisation controls its own workflows, users, pest definitions, report review process and data boundary.
