Whatsapp based Satellite Advisory

In a groundbreaking move that marries convenience with cutting-edge technology, Farmonaut Technologies has unveiled a revolutionary WhatsAppbased satellite advisory service, offering farmers real-time satellite data within just two minutes. This novel approach transforms the way farmers access crucial information about their farms, streamlining the process through the ubiquitous messaging platform.

To avail of this service, users simply need to send a message with “add farm” to Farmonaut’s dedicated WhatsApp number, +91-8951751784. Following this prompt, users provide the coordinates of their farm location. What follows is an automated system that swiftly maps the farm and prompts users for payment. Once the transaction is completed, the comprehensive satellite report is dispatched directly to the user’s WhatsApp inbox in a mere two minutes.

This innovative solution eliminates the need for farmers to navigate complex interfaces or wait for detailed reports. It puts the power of satellite data at their fingertips, enabling quick decision-making and informed choices in managing their agricultural operations.

Farmonaut’s foray into instant satellite advisory through WhatsApp marks a significant leap in making advanced agricultural technologies more accessible to farmers. The seamless integration of satellite data with a widely used communication platform like WhatsApp underscores Farmonaut’s commitment to simplifying and democratizing access to crucial agricultural insights.
