We’re not done being excited about VPD
Can there be such a thing as a “hot new metric?” We’ve been hearing (and reading) innovative growers talking about the relevance of vapour pressure deficit (VPD) for a while now. We’re seeing the difference monitoring VPD has made to our customers’ crop performance, and we’re always glad to see the word spreading. Earlier this ...Read more
Make sure your colleagues get the picture with image comments
When we speak to our customers, we tend to take notes. We’re a tech company, so those notes tend to be digital, but if they were on paper they’d have “teamwork is key” underlined ten times and circled in red. Because every conversation we have, this is a key takeaway. There are so many combined ...Read more
We’ve just made comments more interactive with image attachments in ZENSIE
If releasing new features to make collaboration around agri-data easier is wrong, we don’t wanna be right. In our last major release, we brought growers comments and groups to drive greater collaboration. Comments make it easy to annotate data on any sensor data type. Our next release, feeds, made it simpler to watch colleagues’ discussions ...Read more

What’s the ROI of data-driven agriculture? What are the benefits of real-time, remote monitoring for agribusinesses? How does a collaborative data platform help you have a better harvest? When you’ve developed technology you’re excited about (like we have) that’s helping real customers (over 180 of them) be more productive, you want to put some of the big ...Read more
Work better together with agri-data feeds in ZENSIE
We recently updated our platform’s interface, look and feel. We wanted the experience of ZENSIE to reflect how our customers (growers, consultants, store managers, irrigation specialists, to name a few) work, and enable them to get even more out of their crop data. The result? New and improved features that make communication and collaboration simple, ...Read more
Meet ZENSIE in Niagara Falls
Regardless of the differences in their crops, environment, relative business size or region, we’ve seen that some grower concerns are near universal: “there aren’t enough hours in the day” is certainly one of them. “I can’t be in two (or three, or four) places at once” is another. It just so happens that the ZENSIE ...Read more
Closing the data gap in horticultural research: in conversation with Chris Need
A few weeks ago, we spoke to horticultural consultant Chris Need about the role real-time data plays in helping growers prevent disease (in this specific case pansy mottle syndrome), and discussed how remote monitoring of plants and their environment can help drive more informed, immediate decision-making. A few weeks (and a new product update) on, ...Read more
