We typically start with traceability and add iot sensing as the product matures. Progress is tracked on daily active players and retention day 7.
Agriculture & Agritech for Manufacturing in Türkiye
Manufacturing businesses in Türkiye building agriculture & agritech platforms usually need production planning, quality traceability, machine data and supplier collaboration. We typically start with marketplaces and add farm management as the product matures. Progress is tracked on overall equipment effectiveness and scrap rate.
Agriculture & Agritech for Textiles in Türkiye

Example: agriculture & agritech software for a manufacturing business in Konya
Consider a manufacturing company in Konya (manufacturing and agriculture). A typical agriculture & agritech software engagement would start with iot sensing, then farm management, and finish the first release with traceability — usually within 8–16 weeks.
Payments would run through Cards, data would be handled under KVKK, and success would be measured on overall equipment effectiveness, scrap rate and order lead time.

KVKK: compliance checklist for agriculture & agritech software
Before launch in Türkiye, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under KVKK.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Türkiye customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Türkiye.
- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for agriculture & agritech software in Türkiye
For clients in Türkiye we usually host on Local Turkish data centres or nearby EU regions, subject to data-transfer rules. The choice balances latency for local users, KVKK requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
