The adoption of SKY Mapping by Agvance customers continues to accelerate! We have reached a noteworthy milestone: 100 SSI customer companies are using SKY Mapping with over 2,200 users. SSI has long offered a Mapping solution for customers, beginning in the early 1990’s with the Dos-based Pro-Mapping solution then moving to Windows-based Agvance Mapping.

Since SKY Mapping launched and became the new cloud mapping application, the game for ag retailers has truly changed. In just a few years, the number of managed acres in SKY Mapping grew from 2.4 million to 36.9 million. Users have generated over 179,000 recommendations for their growers with SKY Mapping. Key features and an easy-to-use application have made SKY Mapping the chosen platform for industry leaders and fostered its success.

The Industry Leading Mapping Platform

SKY Mapping is the window between agronomy specialists and growers reliant on their advice and data to sustain their precision farming operations. The intuitive web interface is accessible from a desktop or mobile web browser as well as mobile application, leveraging the power of cloud computing to answer complex grower questions.

The Power from Within

Continuous Import

The ability to import data within Agvance and other third-party platforms empowers users with all their vital data in one place. Not only can SKY Mapping import Harvest, Planting, and Application data can also be automatically imported overnight via the Auto Import feature.

Field Data Maximized

SKY Mapping is home to extensive field data, all carefully reviewed and perfected season after season. Curating analysis layers to review profit and loss helps to keep growers financially sustainable. While creating management areas to simplify the implementation of precision practices, field events are logged to track applications, harvest data, irrigation, tissue sampling, scouting, and tillage information. All this information comes together to provide valuable insights into specific areas of a field.

Data-Driven Decisions

Generate Data-Driven recommendations from all the collected data. SKY Mapping elevates crop-specific recommendations by factoring test results or by utilizing yield data over multiple years, or both when needed. Making grower suggestions individually or in batches, is easier than ever with SKY Mapping. Recommendations can be adjusted based on percentages, flat rates, or grower budgets. Recommendations can be made for fertilizer and variable rate seeding by equation-based practices that can account for imported data and events. Today, SKY Mapping has assisted agronomy professionals to make over 179,000 recommendations.

Generate Tailored Reports

Customize SKY Mapping reports with company logos to stand out to growers and use display options to give growers 2 to 4 data layers to review at once. Share valuable reports such as yield maps, soil type maps, soil tests, recs, crop planning, planting, harvest summary reports, and application reports. Compile all the reports into a report book containing the information growers need regarding their farm or field in one place.
