Case Study: Indigo Ag achieves faster, map-based sustainability insights with CARTO

Using Location Intelligence to Improve Agricultural Sustainability

Indigo Agriculture, a grower-focused agtech company that launched the Indigo Carbon program to generate verified soil carbon credits, needed to turn large, disparate spatial datasets into fast, business-ready insights. Their analytics team faced challenges pulling data from varied sources, converting complex geospatial models into intuitive visuals for non-technical stakeholders, and delivering rapid prototypes and analyses on tight timelines to support field operations and marketplace decisions.

By adopting CARTO (Builder, CARTOframes) with a Snowflake connector, Indigo centralized data ingestion, automated daily syncs, and built interactive mapping dashboards that run drive-time and spatial analyses with minimal code. The result: much faster prototyping, dynamic daily maps used to optimize soil sampling and field operations, broader stakeholder adoption of location-based data, and measurable time savings that enable more informed, collaborative decisions across the business.
