Lulu - Paperless Data Collection
Data-Driven Decision Support Platform
What is Lulu?
Lulu is an essential companion for farmers who want to maximize profits by increasing yields and productivity. As a data-driven decision support platform, farmers provide performance records for their farms, and the system analyses the data automatically. Farmers receive actionable feedback including trends, rankings, and diagnostics in near real-time to make informed decisions about their activities.
We use paperless data collection to support farm decision-making processes through evaluation of animal genetic merit, within-farm and between-farm performance comparisons, discerning trends, prediction of yields, and generally understanding the state of agriculture. We ensure that farmers get access to information and data that allow them to undertake precision agriculture.
