Company profile
researched Aug 2026Agroptima develops cloud-based farm management software consisting of a web account and a mobile application. Field staff use the app to record daily operations such as sowing, fertilizing, treatments and harvesting, including offline in areas without 3G or Wi-Fi coverage, with data syncing to the web account once a connection is available. The web platform centralizes plot histories, crop and variety records, treatment data, worker information, stock movements in warehouses, and cost and income figures, and supports task planning and digital work orders between management, administration and field teams.
The product generates the documentation required for inspections and certification, including the Spanish Cuaderno de Campo (official field notebook/activity report), the fertilizer notebook, and reports for Global GAP and organic audits, using official SIGPAC plot codes and phytosanitary product registration numbers. Plots can be drawn manually or imported from shapefiles supplied by government services, farm machinery or GPS devices. Agroptima states its data is stored encrypted on its servers under an SSL certificate and that it complies with Spanish personal data protection registration requirements. Integrations include the John Deere Operations Center for automatic data transfer, and the app has been described as capable of linking with agricultural equipment such as the Cerea GPS system for self-driving tractors. An analytics layer, Agroptima Analytics, addresses questions such as crew productivity in kilos per hour and cost per kilo for pricing decisions.
The software is positioned for horticulture and fruit, citrus, vegetables, wineries and vineyards, cereals and extensive crops, olive groves and nut trees, and agricultural service providers, and offers a module for cooperatives, technicians and advisors that manages multiple farmer accounts.
Founding story
A group of seven farmers from the Barcelona region identified the need for a simple way to record agricultural tasks, keep field notes up to date and control farming costs. They joined Emilia Vila and colleagues to found the business in 2014. Farmer cofounder Toni Tarrida has described the team previously working with Excel and paper sheets before building Agroptima to simplify their day-to-day work.
Business model
Software-as-a-service sold to farms and agricultural businesses. Agroptima charges an annual subscription covering the mobile app, web account, online training, customer support and product updates, with modular pricing described as paying only for the functionalities used and no initial investment, installation or training fees. Plans are tiered, with an Enterprise plan required above 800 hectares of extensive crops or 250 hectares of intensive crops for unlimited data management. A 15-day full-feature free trial is offered without a credit card, and customers can cancel while retaining access to their data.
Annual subscription fees per account; a yearly subscription price of $249 was reported at the time of the Series A.
