// For European farms and cooperatives
Subsidy rules change every season and read differently in every region. Product labels, pre-harvest intervals, certification standards: scattered across a hundred PDFs and one agronomist's memory. ekory turns all of it into one shared brain your whole operation can ask, in plain language, and trust.
// The Strategic Failure
A farm doesn't run on soil alone. It runs on rules, protocols and judgment: most of it unwritten, the rest buried where no one can reach it in time. Three quiet failures repeat every season until they cost you a payment, a harvest, or a person.
// Forty harvests, undocumented
Giuseppe knew which block drains badly after rain, which rootstock suited the upper field, the exact week to start each cycle. None of it was written down: it lived in his boots and his memory. He retired in March. The new technician started the season blind, re-learning the land one mistake at a time.
The land stayed. The reasons left.
// The cost of one missed box
The team meant to enrol the maize blocks in the new eco-scheme. The rule had changed that year; the cut-off moved two weeks earlier; the notice sat unread in a regional portal. By the time anyone checked, the window had closed. A payment you were fully entitled to became a payment you simply forfeited. Nobody decided to lose it. Everybody just missed it.
Eligible. Entitled. Unclaimed.
// One crop, three answers
One technician follows last season's protocol. Another trusts the supplier's latest datasheet. A third does what the WhatsApp group said this morning. Same vineyard, same problem, three different treatments: and no one can say which one is current, compliant, and actually yours.
When the protocol lives in a group chat, no protocol is the protocol.
// The False Fix
You pay an advisory service to keep you compliant. You feel covered. But their knowledge lives in their office, not yours. Every question is an email and a wait. Every answer leaves with their invoice: none of it stays, accumulates, or becomes searchable inside your operation. You're renting access to a brain you'll never own.
A shared Drive folder isn't a memory either. It's a graveyard of PDFs nobody can read fast enough when the spray window is closing.
// The Solution
Your regional rules, your product labels, your agronomic protocols, your field notes: unified into one living memory.
No new system to learn. One place to ask. Days to deploy, not seasons.
Regional rural-development documents, agency notices, product labels and datasheets, certification standards, your agronomists' field notes. Drive, email, shared folders: it all flows in. Sources stay current.
Specialised assistants: one for CAP and subsidies, one per crop, one for certification. Each scoped to the exact people and documents it should see, and nothing more.
Office staff, field technicians, seasonal hires: everyone opens ekory and asks in plain language. The right answer, grounded in your documents, the same for everyone. Knowledge stops being one person's job.
// Use cases
The same core, changing context at the moment it's needed.
Deadlines tracked on a wall calendar. Eligibility decoded from PDFs nobody has time to read. The one person who understands the eco-schemes is on leave during the application window.
An Eko that knows your region's rules, the current cut-offs and what you're eligible for. Ask "what changed this year and what's our deadline?" and get an answer grounded in the actual notices.
Is this product still authorised for this crop? Which interval applies before harvest? The label is in a drawer, the authorisation may have lapsed, and the answer arrives after the treatment, not before.
Ask before you treat. The Eko checks the product against your records and your crop and flags when something isn't covered. It won't confirm a treatment your documents don't support.
The procedure that works is in someone's head. The fix from last week is in a group chat. The seasonal crew re-asks the same questions every morning.
One Eko per process. It reads the SOPs and the field corrections. Technicians ask from the field, in chat, and the answer is the same one everywhere.
Organic, DOP/IGP, GlobalGAP: each audit means hunting records across folders and rebuilding the paper trail from memory the week before the inspector arrives.
One archive of every standard and every record. Ask what an audit requires and what's missing, and assemble the trail from what already exists.
Every harvest brings new hands and the same three months of repeated questions. Onboarding depends on who happens to be free.
One Eko per role. It knows the tasks, the tools, the safety rules and the rhythms. New hands ask instead of waiting; the senior reviews instead of repeating.
Supplier datasheets, price lists and last year's orders scattered across email and drawers. You re-discover terms you already negotiated.
One Eko that reads your suppliers' datasheets and your order history, so the team quotes, compares and orders against what you actually agreed.
An assistant that always answers is a liability in a field with fines attached.
ekory is built to say "I can't confirm that", and to say why.
It won't greenlight a treatment your records don't cover. It won't promise a subsidy you don't qualify for. It won't invent a rule to be helpful.
Pressure's building on the table grapes. Can I run the broad-spectrum fungicide we used last season on them this week?
I can't confirm that's compliant. In your records, that product's authorisation for table grapes lapsed before this season, and the pre-harvest interval on file would overlap your planned pick date. Don't apply on my word: check the current label and clear it with the agronomist before treating.
// Helpful is easy. Trustworthy is the point. The brain that knows when to stop is the one you can hand to your whole team.
Protocols change mid-season. A variety reacts differently. A rule gets reinterpreted.
Your most trusted people update the brain in plain language, in chat.
The correction is live for every technician, every office, every Eko. Immediately.
Update: for the upper-hill parcels this season we're moving the first canopy pass one week earlier because of the warm spring. Apply this everywhere these blocks come up.
Updated. The first canopy pass for the upper-hill parcels now reads one week earlier for this season. Every technician asking about these blocks will get the revised timing.
// Above the manual. Above last year's plan. The people closest to the land decide what's true.
// Governance
Role-based access. Per-document visibility. Per-organisation isolation.
