Problems Addressed

Broken Pipe Alert
A major pipe breakage lead to a drop in pressure and required immediate attention. Dan, a remote owner, was able to receive real time notifications from HotSpot AG that informed him of the issue and where that issue was taking place in his vineyard. Dan then promptly communicated with his team to resolve this problem.

Variable Growth Patterns
There was variability with the water distribution that lead to uneven growth. HotSpot AG helped Snell Valley Vineyards view the history of water distribution as well as provide real time insights for quick decision making. In less than a year, Snell Valley Vineyards had been able to make up for 3 years worth of uneven growth.

We really like the HotSpot team because, when we started the conversation, we were talking to farmers. They're someone who comes to the table who understands strengths and challenges and things that growers actually have to worry about. The HotSpot people have a lot of credibility because they are farmers.
