Bee.Watch

FACNEX BUILDS A REPORTING SYSTEM WITH AN ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE AND DATA INTEGRATION FOR BEE.WATCH

The system was developed and local pesticide users recorded what they were spraying on an app which also worked for Swarm collecting and apiary records.

The systems were further extended to keep records for individual hives using QR Codes.

Opportunity

Expand Upon Internal Software Development Expertise

The bees are kept right in the middle of the area but local bee keepers were experiencing growing colony losses since 2015 and virtually no swarms. In the country where Beekeepers do not have to be registered it is hard for pesticide users to know where hives are.

Solution

Customised Portal With Real-Time Information

High-performing Facnex team members—ranging from product analysts to software developers as well as QA and UX testing—became an extension of the Bee.Watch’s development organisation.

The Bee.Watch system was developed into an effective hive and apiary management system with an efficient swarm management feature; invasive species tracking feature and a mentor system.

Outcome

Product reaches the latest technological capabilities

Bee.Watch products and apps are now being used by many users, from bee farmers to pest controllers. All data is securely stored on an ISO27001 approved host, making sure that swarm management system does not publish swarm collectors contact details on the internet.
