Success Stories
AgriSense International: The Afri-Revolution Begins in a Humble Home
Picture this: a humble abode in Pietermaritzburg, home to sky-high ambitions and drones that dare to
fly even higher. AgriSense International, a fledgling drone surveillance company, had their sights
set on more than just the skies—they aimed to revolutionize farming across the African continent.
The Birth of AgriMaps
We rolled up our sleeves and dove right into the source code to craft AgriMaps. This was no ordinary
mapping software; it was a farmer's dream come true. We made it easy for farmers to get drone shots
of their land, measure it, and keep tabs on it from any device—be it web, mobile, or tablet. Now,
the lush landscapes of African farms had an all-access pass to the digital realm
Enter DataSense
But wait, there's more! With AgriSense operating their drones not just in South Africa but across
the entire continent, there was a thirst for data in places where even signal feared to tread. Enter
DataSense. This tool didn't just collect data; it brewed insights in the very heart of rural Africa.
Offline? No problem. DataSense would sync everything to a central server once back online, creating
a treasure trove of farming analytics
The Grand Finale: Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Africa's farming secrets have long been whispered through the wind and written in the soil.
Documentation? Scarce. But not anymore. Thanks to AgriSense and UpdateMe, a bridge was built between
traditional practices and data-driven agriculture. African farming now has a digital legacy, a
storyline in bytes and pixels, for generations to come.
And so, as the sun sets on another African horizon, AgriSense International knows one thing for
certain: their idea took flight, thanks to UpdateMe. The End. Or should we say, just the beginning?"

App (PWA), worthy of stadium applause. Now, fans had the power to 'blow the whistle' on refs,
revolutionizing the spectator experience.
The Final Set: Game, Set, Match
Still in its fledgling stage, Blow The Ref is already becoming the talk of the sporting world.
Investors? Lining up as if it's Black Friday at a tech store. Traction? More gripping than a rugby
scrum. All of this was only possible with the digital wizardry of UpdateMe.
As the tennis player stands on the court of his own invention, he knows this isn't just a win for
him; it's a win for sports fans around the globe. And as for UpdateMe? We're just warming up. Game
