Precision ag technologies help farmers manage their daily life more efficiently in several ways. Whether it’s guidance and steering, or maps and visualization, many solutions fall under the precision farming umbrella. One aspect of precision agriculture that’s often crucial to both farmer and dealer success is remote support and installation. Farmers aren’t always operating at home or in their offices. Instead, they’re often out and about – monitoring the fields, overseeing planting and harvest, and operating miles away from their cabinet. At Fieldbee, we have 7 years of experience providing remote customer service for our customers in more than 50 countries.
