Outcome

Real-time pump & sensor automation

Beyond generic dashboards

NESS Fertigation outgrew the limitations of their existing ThingsBoard setup. They needed a specialized, multi-tenant portal capable of handling complex irrigation routines, granular device management, and sophisticated reporting that generic platforms simply couldn't provide.

Engineered for precision and reliability

We engineered a custom web portal using React and NestJS to bridge the gap between digital logic and physical hardware. By building a proprietary backend, we enabled NESS to execute complex automation routines for valves and pumps with zero-latency feedback and enterprise-grade reporting.

The interface

React & Tailwind CSS — responsive, high-performance dashboards for farm managers.

The engine

NestJS — a powerful Node.js framework handling multi-tenancy logic and real-time hardware communication.

The data

PostgreSQL — a relational database optimized for complex sensor telemetry and historical reporting.

A custom portal for farm operations

Responsive, high-performance dashboards that turn sensor telemetry into precise, real-time control of irrigation and nutrient delivery.

NESS portal: device map and farm overview on tablet — Farm overview & device map — every valve, pump, and sensor at a glance.

NESS portal: growing protocol, fertigation and irrigation routines — Growing protocols — fertigation and irrigation routines scheduled to the minute.

NESS portal: operational sensors telemetry and reporting — Operational sensors & reporting — telemetry charted for optimized water and fertilizer usage.
