About us
More than software developers. Agri-tech pioneers.
Agrilytics was founded to bridge the gap between farms and the technology that helps them run. Based in Zimbabwe’s agricultural heartland, our team blends practical farm experience with a data-driven mindset.
Why we started
Farms run on thousands of decisions a day, but too often the information behind them sits on paper, in notebooks or in someone’s head. We set out to change that, giving owners, managers and supervisors clear visibility over the processes and numbers that matter most.
Today our apps are used in the field every day by commercial farms across Zimbabwe, capturing everything from a single pest sighting to a full season’s harvest.

What makes us different
Farm experience first
Our team’s time in the field shapes every screen, so the apps fit how farm work is actually done.
Works without signal
Capture data offline in the rows. It syncs automatically when the phone reconnects.
Secure by design
Built on Microsoft’s business platform. Each farm’s data stays private to that farm.
Support close by
A Zimbabwean team that can visit, train your staff and help when something needs fixing.
Built on technology farms can trust
Agrilytics runs on Microsoft’s business platform, the same technology trusted by large organisations around the world. That means secure sign-in, reliable cloud hosting and apps that work on the phones, tablets and laptops your team already uses.
