Users of our technology leverage their decision-making systems on

information and knowledge generated on a field-by-field basis, with

customized per-user models.

📊 LAYERS, our software, offers analytics to the agricultural sector with a large direct impact. For example, clients can improve the efficiency in

treatments (sowing, fertilization, irrigation, etc.) and generate

estimations in yield (tonnes per hectare), as well as quality estimates

(e.g. soybeans protein quantity) for different crops. We know that

producers, the agroindustry itself, or even insurance companies and

traders in the agronomical sector are facing three main challenges, with

a large impact in their gross margin:

Crop Management
Production yield and logistics
Economical yield
Climate change risk assessment

💧 💚 LAYERS helps minimize these risks through a high-quality continuous monitoring and predictions. We want to make LAYERS the core of all the yield-related decisions in the agribusiness value-chain using data and statistics. Our slogan is

“Reshaping the future increasing land efficiency”

👾 The LAYERS Product Team is

the main area of the company, where 13 persons are distributed in three

squads: QA-Tooling, Agronomy and UX/UI. Three-four weeks sprints are

combined with sprint demos where all the company is updated with the

news in the product by all the members of the product team.

Some of the things you should consider when joining our team are:

Young and friendly environment
Flexible work-hours
100% remote work
Flexible remuneration system that adapts the salary to your needs
Extra holidays

🌎🌏🌍LAYERS, is composed of a web-app and also a mobile-app. Our software constitutes the heart of the customer ecosystem where data analysis and prognosis are presented in analytical and insightful web dashboard formats. Thanks to this, our customers can monitor their crops and perform better business decisions in their agro-industrial companies.
