THE CHALLENGE

Critical Crop Data Trapped in 12 Separate Spreadsheets.

Our client, a Greek agricultural company managing multiple crop varieties across several plots, relied entirely on Excel spreadsheets for their operations. Each crop type, each plot, each season had its own file — 12 in total.

The operational team faced serious challenges:

  • No single source of truth — data in 12 separate files nobody could cross-reference
  • Hours of manual consolidation every week to create summary reports
  • Decisions based on week-old data that was already outdated
  • Version control problems — multiple people editing the same files
  • No historical analysis across seasons or years without manual digging

THE PROXIMA STRATEGY

The Proxima Strategy.

We designed and built a centralized digital dashboard that consolidated all 12 spreadsheets into a single, real-time operational view. The system was built to match how the agricultural team actually works — organized by plot, crop type, and season.

  • Unified data model replacing all 12 spreadsheets
  • Real-time operational dashboard with live crop status
  • Mobile-friendly data input directly from the field
  • Historical trend analytics across seasons and years
  • Automated alert system for irrigation and fertilizer windows
  • One-click export for compliance and subsidy reports

THE TECH

How We Built It

STEP 01

Unified Data Model

All crop data (planting schedules, irrigation logs, fertilizer applications, harvest yields) migrated from 12 spreadsheets into one structured database.

STEP 02

Real-Time Dashboard

A live view of all plots showing current crop status, upcoming tasks, and key metrics at a glance — accessible from desktop and mobile.

STEP 03

Automated Data Entry

Field workers input data through simple mobile-friendly forms that feed directly into the dashboard — no more spreadsheets.

HOW WE DID IT

Our Approach

STEP 01

Discovery

We mapped every spreadsheet: what data it held, who updated it, how often, and what decisions depended on it. We identified overlaps and gaps.

STEP 02

Design

We designed a unified data model and dashboard layout, validated with the operations manager. Every view mapped to a real decision they make.

STEP 03

Build & Test

We built the dashboard, migrated historical data from all 12 files, tested with live data for one growing cycle, and iterated on the field input forms.

STEP 04

Launch & Monitor

We went live across all plots, trained field workers on mobile input, monitored data quality for three weeks, and added automated alerts.

“Before, I’d spend every Monday morning updating spreadsheets. Now I open one dashboard and I can see everything — every plot, every crop, every task. We make better decisions because we finally have the full picture.”
