Agriculture
Going “Green”
Sustainable farming and “green” initiatives go hand in hand for the agriculture and food industries. Producers are looking for ways to reduce costs and simultaneously minimize impact on the environment. Renewable energy offers an attractive alternative to fossil fuels, but means that farmers and manufacturers must enter the world of energy producers. They are looking for ways to gain all the benefits without introducing complexities that could impose burdens on already lean organizations.

Fat Spaniel provides a compelling solution for monitoring and managing renewable energy production and consumption. An industrial-grade software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, Fat Spaniel makes it quick and easy to get started and also simplifies the day-to-day tasks. Hosted by Fat Spaniel, the service puts information and tools in the hands of the users, and simplifies:
- Real-time renewable energy management
