Land and agro investment group · Colombia
An investment group that found the right land in days, not years
Every land decision was worth millions, but the data sat in spreadsheets, consultant reports and site visits. We put satellite, government and study data into one live map that finds the land, the owner, and checks it is legal and safe to buy.

The challenge
Which land do we buy?
The head of investments had to find land that fit their plan before the project could start. The full picture never came together: data was scattered across spreadsheets, consultants, site visits and other sources.
Finding the right land and its owners took 2 to 3 years.
- Scattered data
- Spreadsheets
- Consultant reports
- Site visits
- Unknown owners
- Slow decisions
The request
Find the right land, fast, and know it is safe to buy.
A fast, reliable way to check land before buying it, so they could start making decisions.
