Authenticity and Accuracy Of Data
S.M.A.C
Making use of Social Media, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud Services in our Management
Information Eco-System, we would be able to garner optimum efficiency in the various
processes that we will be providing.
SOCIAL
Use of online portals and forums to connect farmers to the other key stakeholders
Access to Frequently Asked Questions
Online low-cost feedbacks and real time engagement with masters of the craft.
MOBILITY
70% of the Indian population resides in villages with 54%of overall mobile usage.
Free of cost Mobile Push Messages in stakeholders Regional Languages for high message receptivity
Direct transfer of unadulterated information to farmers, vendors and other stakeholders in process
Current Market Requirement, Current Market Rate, Weather Forecast, Export Price, Latest Forex Rates etc.
ANALYTICS
Coming up with Insights in the form of Predictions and Prescriptions using various Analytical Tools.
Insights help farmer in making a calculated decision regarding deciding what to sow, when to sow, when to
reap, what price to sell the produce at, whom to sell, where to sell, whether to consider global markets, price
available globally
We will also come up with Loan processing and clearing estimations based on the farmers current financial
health
Setting up Correlations between 2 or more independent variables
CLOUD
More than 57% of Indias population is employed in the agriculture sector so we can imagine the
humongous data we are to deal with.
We would use Amazons Web Service IaaS which would provide: Scalability, Shareability, Zero

BUSINESS PROCESS
MODEL

BUSINESS PROCESS
MODELS
Farmers can check foreign demand and currency
exchange rate
EXTERNAL SYSTEMS
Education
Banking
The agricultural researchers and
scientists
can
provide
scientific
methodology for making high yields in
production of crops, information to the
farmers in case of any environmental
effects and effective utilization of the soil
type for multiple crop production at
various times of the year.
The farmers produce is delivered to the
warehouses where the traders make
payments that are transferred to the farmers
accounts. All the transactions takes place by
means of banks(Transaction Processing
Systems) and also loans at cheap interest
rates for encouraging farmers for irrigation.
Production
Automobile Industry
It includes the fertilizers, insecticides,
pesticides, and high quality seeds that
are required for irrigation.
It includes the high quality tractors for
irrigation and trucks for transportation of
the farmers produce.
QUALITY APPROACH
Quality Assurance
The data cleansing is done by the
implementation of a Business
Model, which will help in clearing
the unnecessary data, thereby
preventing errors.
Quality Control
Non-functional requirements like
performance of the system is
tested using methods like Stress
Testing; volume is being tested
using
Load
Testing
&
compatibilities in various mobile
devices
is
measured
by
Compatibility Testing.
Agile method is being used as well,
which assures the data that is
Functional requirements are tested
collected is quality checked.
by automation processes, using the
likes of QTP or Selenium.
AGILE METHODOLOGY
We will release the project in Phases and Agile
Development will be followed in the Application
Development Phase and the Support Functions.
Product Owner: Farmers
Scrum Master: Team Lead and Support Function Lead
User Stories: Regional Farm Representatives will
interact with the farmers to get their real time
requirements and update the team members for user
stories.
Will focus on simple designs
Sprint duration will be 4 weeks in which we will come
up with a working patch for the application.
