Built on a working farm.

Orchard Compass began as the operating system of Sunstone Valley, a macadamia estate in Hazyview, Mpumalanga: about 400 ha under title, 204 ha planted. It ran the estate before it had a name of its own. We now develop it for every orchard.

Ground Control

The calm, exact voice on the radio.

The brand idea is the voice that knows where every block, crew and bin is and tells you which way is forward. 4 colours, one condensed display face, one device: the viewfinder bracket around a navigation arrow. The same discipline runs through the software: one meaning per colour, a word on every status, no exclamation marks.

We are
Precise · numbers, places, times
Calm under pressure · a frost alert reads like a checklist
Field-ready · big targets, readable in sun, works on a phone
Plain-spoken · block, row, bin, crew
We are not
Vague · slogans instead of numbers
Alarmist · exclamation marks
Precious · decorative, glossy
Jargon · software words for farm things
