The Differences

The Difference: Built for Ag, Open for All

OpenFMIS isn’t here to replace your existing tools—it’s here to give agriculture something we’ve never had: a shared, open-core GIS engine designed specifically for how ag actually works.

We’re not here to tear down what others have built

Esri, Google Earth Engine, Mapbox, QGIS, and many others have brought powerful tools to AgTech—but they weren’t designed for agriculture. They’re expensive to license, difficult to customize, or built for general mapping problems. Even open-source options often require complex setup, deep GIS expertise, or lack field-ready agricultural workflows.

The result?

Ag companies spend time and money rebuilding the same GIS functions. Farmers face disconnected apps, poor data control, and too many logins for tools that don’t speak to each other.

We’re offering a way forward.

If you already use these systems—great. You can connect to us. You can integrate your services, develop modules, contribute over time, or gradually shift if it makes sense. Or simply work with us to help bridge systems for the greater good of agriculture.

The difference is this:

We now have a base framework built for Ag, contribution derived by Ag, and open to evolve. It’s a place we can finally shape together—contributing core GIS logic, refining ag-specific processes, and building services that reflect what ag really needs.
