AWhere Agricultural Information Systems: Creating mashup visualizations for evaluating performance and opportunities in Agribusiness.

For agriculture and agribusiness professionals, AWhere Professional and AWhere Express’s combination of GIS technology, ease of use, low training needs, and sharable maps makes it an obvious choice. A map mashup of agronomic, business performance and agricultural census data is a very powerful visualization. The mapping of agronomic and hydrological data over existing crop and livestock producing regions provides a powerful foundation for researchers, analysts, production planners, and sales and marketing professionals to use in allocating resources and measuring performance.

• Where are the opportunities?
• How are we performing?
• Do we have our people and our products and services where they can be the most productive?

Valuable USDA Ag Census and National Agricultural Statistics databases are available for download in our “Downloads” area on this site. Integrating these databases with AWhere Professional and AWhere Express and your own customer sales or membership data is easy – and you have the assurance that all of your proprietary data can reside on your desktop! Need to share information with your colleagues or partners electronically? That is easy to do through AWhere Inc’s unique "AWhere Exchange Maps™" feature. It is as simple as adding an attachment to an e-mail.
