Globex Corporation has recently opted for initiating a mobile based farmer support application (MBFSA) that would allow the farmers to minimize the chances for growing excessive crops than the demand. The application will allow farmers to plan the crop that is most demanded, quantity of the demanded crop, the targeted market and wholesalers who should sell the crop yield. In order to do so, Globex have partnered up with Virtucon Consultancy Firm.

Virtucon Consultancy Firm is experienced in development of IT based systems and has already been working with Globex Corporation for many years. Since both have a long history of past projects, so Virtucon have decided to charge lowest possible fee from corporation for development of the whole project with all of its desired outcomes. Virtucon Consultancy Firm provides their customers with comprehensive strategic solutions and that is why it has been hired by Globex for development of mobile-based system for managing the MBFSA program.  

• PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The MBFSA is a mobile based application that will assist the farmers in making decisions about which crops to grow, which markets to hit, where the crops are demanded more, what quantity of crops needs to be grown and which wholesales are required for selling the crop yield. This program will be based on collaboration between farming equipment manufacturers, Globex team members, wholesalers, government, farmers and technical team assistants. 

• Local Government:

The MBFSA program will allow interaction with the local government. It will provide detailed information on the weather conditions and the suitable crop for the given climate. It will also collect information on the changing weather conditions, humidity levels, rain probability and anticipated quantity of crop in demand in given areas. The application will also collect data on geographical location along with matching crops fertility options from the government sources through collaboration with official database. 

• Wholesalers

The application will also allow the markets and wholesales to input the data on quantity and name of the crops that are demanded most in a particular area. The wholesalers will be required to register themselves on the application and give their profiling to be stored. Each wholesaler will be allowed to add, update or remove their selected geographical along with the required crop quantity.
