The company behind brands Semios and Agworld has rebranded to Almanac. At the core of this new focus is Alma, an intelligence platform using existing products and services to provide more meaningful insights to growers. CEO Sumer Johal says he’s excited to give growers better workflows and clear actionable information.
Johal… “Alma is going to help convert a bunch of squiggly lines and complex graphs, which often customers have to sift through and, be able to simplify that and say what does it really mean in terms of taking action? We're still gonna show those complex graphs and all the details. But in addition to that, a summary view of what that means, how they can take action. Sometimes you don't have that much time and as you're walking from a pickup truck to your field, or if you're a crop advisor going to visit your client, you want a quick summary of what these things mean, and particularly what they mean in the context of that geospatial location. So as we go from one place to another, what does it mean? And so we have Alma sifting through all these data layers and creating a quick summary of what that really means in terms of the customers' own data, their own traps or their own pest management strategies and what they should be doing about that right now.”
Other examples of what Alma can offer include AI-powered summaries on regional weather, product recommendations, and pest activity.
