Cropin scales agricultural intelligence with BigQuery and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform

Cropin Technology Solutions processes agricultural intelligence across more than one billion acres in 102 countries, using a large proprietary ground-truth dataset and Google Cloud services to deliver hyper-local crop insights. The company migrated core data to BigQuery, launched OrbitAI on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, and uses Google Earth Engine, GKE, and Cloud SQL to support verified recommendations and global reliability.

  • 3Developer productivity
  • The previous cloud environment could not handle the scale and complexity of Cropin's time-series agricultural data.
  • Query performance degraded and analytics reports that customers needed in hours took days to complete.
  • The company lacked native geospatial and climate intelligence layers and needed faster, trustworthy hyper-local advisory workflows.
  • Cropin centralized more than 670 million agricultural observations in a real-time BigQuery warehouse.
  • It launched OrbitAI on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, using Gemini models to power an agentic workforce for agricultural intelligence.
  • Google Earth Engine and WeatherNext process satellite and climate data natively, while GKE and Cloud SQL keep OrbitAI available globally.
  • The platform closes the loop by sending field-coordinate mitigation guidance through Google Maps integrations and continuously retraining from farmer feedback.
  • Cropin constrains AI to verified historical ground-truth data to reduce hallucinations and increase trust.
  • Overall infrastructure costs fell by approximately 25%.
  • Analytics latency improved by 90%, turning multi-day reporting cycles into real-time insights delivered in seconds.
  • Model training cycles shortened by 30%, moving from weeks to days.
  • A lean team of fewer than 40 data scientists and engineers achieved a 3 to 4x increase in output.
  • The platform now supports over 100 enterprise clients and massive government digitization projects without proportionally increasing headcount.
