In a world where agtech startups come and go in the blink of an eye, Agworld are a local success story.
Over 100 people gathered to celebrate the companies 10 year anniversary in Perth last week, with staff, clients and suppliers flying in from all parts of Australia, New Zealand and the USA.
Beginning with just three people and the idea of promoting digital collaboration between farmers and advisors, Agworld now boasts a staff of 50 and 75 per cent of agronomic record keeping market share in Australia.
Speaking on the night Agworld CEO Doug Fitch said it had been an exhilarating journey.
"We started with just an idea of helping farmers and agronomists utilise technology to improve their communication," he said.
"We initially based our platform on a digital pen, but created the Agworld app as soon as the first iPad was released by Apple.
"Technology has changed tremendously in the last 10 years, but the support from our staff and engagement from our clients has been something that has stayed the same and that has made this journey as fulfilling as it has been."
Mr Fitch said Agworld was looking towards the future, specifically expanding into new markets.
"Agworld is currently active in four main markets, Australia, the USA, New Zealand and South Africa, while we also do have some users in other countries in the Pacific Island region and other areas," he said.
"As of next month however, we will officially be active in Canada as well; this will be the fifth major market place we will be operating in.
"We have been engaging with growers, ag retailers, ag accountancy providers and machinery dealerships in Canada for sometime now and are very excited by the level of interest and commitment we've received already."
Agworld chief product and marketing officer Matt Collins said connectivity and compatibility with other products was a hallmark of the companies success.
"Connecting the industry has always been at the core of what we're about.," he said.
"Connecting the Agworld platform with the leading solutions such as John Deere have been exciting steps forward in our goal to continue getting the best outcomes for our customers."
