Case Study: Springg achieves real-time 30-second soil analysis and up to 500% yield gains for farmers with Talend ESB

Delivering data to farmers to feed the world

Springg (part of DutchSprouts) is a Netherlands-based agtech company that helps smallholder farmers boost crop yields by delivering fast, affordable soil analysis and fertilizer advice. Facing the global challenge of feeding a projected 9 billion people by 2050, Springg set out to reach hundreds of millions of rural farmers who lack access to traditional labs and often waited weeks for results.

Using Talend ESB to connect mobile sensor trucks and a low-cost, smartphone-enabled SoilCares scanner, Springg delivers calibrated soil reports in two clicks or about 30 seconds. The integrated solution routes and stores sensor data in real time, has grown to 25,000 users, cuts lab costs by roughly 90%, and drives dramatic on-farm gains—up to a 500% increase in yield targets in some cases and roughly four‑fold crop increases that translate to about $100 more per farmer per year, enabling outcomes like children attending school.
