Projects

How a Customvate engagement is structured.

The concepts below are illustrative formats, not completed work. Each shows how we scope a problem, select technology and define measurable impact.

Sample Project Concepts

Clearly marked concepts, not claimed achievements.

Customvate does not present work it has not delivered. These templates will be replaced by verified case studies as projects are completed.

Sample Project ConceptAgricultureNorth-Central Nigeria

Precision Spraying Service for a Rice Cluster

Client Challenge
A cluster of rice farms relies on manual knapsack spraying, causing uneven application, high labour cost and delayed response to pest outbreaks.
Customvate Solution
Drone spraying delivered as a per-hectare service, combined with seasonal crop-health mapping and an application schedule shared with the cooperative.
Implementation
Baseline mapping, pilot block, operator training, then phased rollout across the cluster over one season.

Technology Used

  • Agricultural spraying drones
  • Multispectral crop mapping
  • Farm data dashboard

Expected Impact

Expected: faster field coverage, reduced chemical volume per hectare and earlier detection of crop stress.

Complete Cassava Processing Line

Client Challenge
A processor wants to move from artisanal output to 20 tons per day of consistent, packaged product but has no integrated equipment plan.
Customvate Solution
End-to-end line design: washing, peeling, processing, drying, packaging, with power, installation, operator training and a spare-parts plan.
Implementation
Capacity study, layout design, equipment sourcing and factory acceptance testing, installation and commissioning, then training.

Technology Used

  • Processing line
  • Automated packaging
  • Industrial solar and storage
  • Control systems

Expected Impact

Expected: consistent product quality, higher throughput and reduced post-harvest loss.

Drone Survey and Progress Monitoring Programme

Client Challenge
A developer and its financier lack independent verification of earthworks volumes and monthly construction progress.
Customvate Solution
Scheduled drone surveys with photogrammetric volume calculation and a shared digital progress record for every drawdown.
Implementation
Baseline flight, monthly capture cycle, reporting pack issued to both parties.

Technology Used

  • Survey drones
  • Photogrammetry
  • Digital site records

Expected Impact

Expected: fewer quantity disputes and faster, evidence-based drawdown approvals.

Solar and Storage for an Off-Grid Cold Store

Client Challenge
A rural aggregation centre loses produce because diesel-powered cold storage is too costly to run continuously.
Customvate Solution
Load study followed by a solar array with battery storage and remote energy monitoring sized for continuous refrigeration.
Implementation
Load measurement, system design, installation, monitoring handover and maintenance plan.

Technology Used

  • Industrial solar
  • Battery storage
  • Remote energy monitoring

Expected Impact

Expected: continuous cold chain, lower running cost and reduced spoilage.

Fleet Visibility for Agricultural Haulage

Client Challenge
An off-taker cannot confirm where its produce is between farmgate and mill, and loses margin to fuel and idle time.
Customvate Solution
GPS telematics across the haulage fleet with route optimisation and a shipment visibility portal for the client.
Implementation
Device fitting, driver onboarding, corridor route modelling, portal rollout.

Technology Used

  • GPS telematics
  • Route optimisation
  • Shipment visibility platform

Expected Impact

Expected: predictable delivery windows and measurable reduction in fuel and idle time.

Integrated Modernisation for an Agribusiness Group

Client Challenge
A large agricultural company operates farm, processing, storage and distribution as disconnected units with no shared data.
Customvate Solution
Combined programme across AgroTech, Industrial, Energy, Infrastructure, Logistics and Technology under one delivery plan.
Implementation
Operational audit, phased division-by-division deployment, single reporting layer.

Technology Used

  • Drone services
  • Processing equipment
  • Solar power
  • Warehousing
  • Fleet technology
  • Unified dashboard

Expected Impact

Expected: one operating picture from field to customer, with measurable efficiency gains at each stage.
