Fertiflow- Emphasises Intelligent Automation and Data Flow in Agriculture
Main Article Content
Abstract
Agriculture, as a critical sector of the Indian economy, is increasingly benefiting from advancements in mobile and cloud-based technologies. This paper presents Fertiflow, a crossplatform agricultural application developed using Flutter and Firebase, designed to modernise the digital infrastructure available to farmers. Fertiflow leverages modern software engineering principles to deliver a modular and scalable solution that connects farmers with essential services, including market pricing, government schemes, agency support, and digital payments. The system architecture comprises key application modules, including Home Screen, Agency Screen, Profile Screen, Login Screen, Payment Screen, and dedicated components for Government MSP integration and Farming Tools access. Built on Firebase’s real-time database and authentication services, the app ensures seamless synchronization, secure user management, and efficient data handling in low-connectivity rural environments. This paper examines the user interface design, component-based architecture, and backend integration strategy of the application, as well as the challenges of delivering reliable performance in resource-constrained settings. Additionally, it discusses the broader implications of Fertiflow in advancing rural digital transformation, highlighting how mobile-first software solutions can bridge the gap between traditional farming practices and emerging digital ecosystems. Fertiflow exemplifies the convergence of mobile computing, cloud services, and agricultural informatics, demonstrating how computer science can directly contribute to socio-economic development in rural sectors.
