Field & Fern: A grower's companion, in their pocket
Offline-first React Native app for specialty-crop growers, replacing a paper-ledger workflow and a clunky third-party SaaS.
Problem
Field & Fern's growers worked in low-connectivity rural areas and needed to log observations, photos, and harvest data in real time. Their existing tool was web-only, slow on cellular, and required double entry back at the office.
Solution
We built a React Native + Expo app with an offline-first local store, a sync engine that reconciles cleanly when the device comes back online, and a role-based admin surface. Push notifications alert field leads to time-sensitive tasks.
