What Digital Agriculture Services does

Digital Agriculture Services (DAS), founded in 2017 and headquartered in Melbourne, is an Australian location intelligence company that builds AI- and machine-learning-powered geospatial mapping products for rural and agricultural assets. Its proprietary technology accurately identifies rural property boundaries and overlays climate, crop productivity, forest loss, and risk data, drawing on up to 20 years of historical Australian crop productivity records and 4 years of in-season crop data, with strategic research input from CSIRO. The product suite is structured around a core DAS Platform subscription for asset-level analysis and a DAS Portfolio tool for portfolio-scale risk management, complemented by the Locate CRM integration, the Embed white-label mapping tool, and a growing catalogue of add-on data packs (Climate, Grain Intelligence, Rural Property, Rural Valuations, Rural Insurance, Forest Loss, Near Real-Time Climate Event). All products are sold via annual subscriptions or enterprise licensing.

DAS monetises through four recurring revenue streams: platform and portfolio subscriptions, enterprise licensing of the Locate and Embed products, and add-on data-pack subscriptions, with pricing not publicly disclosed and contracts negotiated per customer. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales targeting banks, insurers, agri-enterprises, and government bodies with channel distribution through the Guidewire Cloud InsuranceSuite integration (DAS is a Guidewire Growth Partner) and a GTM partnership with Tech Alliances. Customers include tier-1 names such as Rabobank, IAG, CSIRO, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Cargill, Nutrien, JLL, Viterra, and Insurance Facilitators, alongside a long tail of regional insurers, brokers, and rural service providers. The company holds ISO 27001 certification, aligning it with regulated buyers' information-security requirements, and supports global ESG frameworks including TNFD.

DAS has raised approximately A$6.7M across six funding rounds between 2017 and 2023, with investors including CSIRO, Nutrien Ag Solutions, IAG Firemark Ventures, Startmate, NOAB Ventures, and TELUS Global Ventures (lead investor in the most recent 2023 round). Recognition has accelerated, including FinTech Organisation of the Year at the 2025 FinTech Australia Finnie Awards, ANZ Climate Tech Top 100 by Holon IQ (2023), APAC Qorus Reinvention Awards recognition, and the 2024 Gov Startup Awards Startup of the Year. The company is privately held by founders Anthony Willmott (CEO), Rob Mellor (CTO), and Jonathon Clark, with no parent company or disclosed institutional control.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Planet Labs: Global satellite imagery and geospatial analytics provider serving agriculture, defense, forestry, and finance. Comparable as upstream geospatial data and analytics infrastructure that could power DAS-like offerings, with substantially broader scope and global footprint than DAS's focused Australian rural intelligence platform.
• Indigo Ag: Agriculture technology company combining agronomic data, carbon programs, and grain marketing. Comparable to DAS in serving agricultural and financial stakeholders with data-driven decision tools, with overlap in grain intelligence and sustainability/ESG analytics, though Indigo's primary focus is biologics and carbon rather than property intelligence.
• Esri: Global leader in GIS software and geospatial analytics serving government, insurance, and finance. Comparable as foundational GIS and mapping technology underlying rural intelligence use cases; Esri is a broad incumbent that competes indirectly with DAS's geospatial platform through partner-built or self-built customer solutions.
• Bayer Climate FieldView: Bayer-owned precision agriculture platform offering field mapping, satellite imagery, and agronomic analytics at global scale. Comparable to DAS in providing geospatial and agronomic data products, though embedded within Bayer's crop science ecosystem and serving growers directly rather than financial institutions.

Direct peers

• Granular (Corteva): Farm management and agronomy software from Corteva providing field-level records, planning, and analytics. Comparable to DAS's platform offerings in serving enterprise agricultural operations with structured data management and decision support, though more focused on in-farm operations than financial services risk analytics.
• Gro Intelligence: Global agricultural data and analytics platform serving financial institutions, governments, and agri-enterprises with crop, climate, and supply-chain intelligence. Directly comparable to DAS in serving banks, insurers, and commodity participants with subscription-based agricultural analytics, though Gro is more globally focused.
• Farmers Edge: Precision agriculture and digital agronomy platform providing field-level data, analytics, and risk tools to growers, insurers, and lenders. Comparable to DAS in delivering geospatial and farm intelligence to financial services and agricultural enterprises, with overlapping product concepts in field mapping and risk monitoring.
• Taranis: Aerial imagery and AI-driven crop intelligence platform serving agribusinesses, insurers, and retailers. Comparable to DAS in providing high-resolution geospatial analytics for agriculture, with similar focus on turning remote sensing into actionable field-level insights for financial and agronomic decisions.
• CropX: Soil and crop intelligence platform combining in-field sensors with satellite analytics. Comparable to DAS in offering geospatial agronomic analytics for enterprise agriculture, with overlapping use cases in irrigation, fertility, and risk monitoring for financial and insurance partners.
• aWhere: Agricultural intelligence platform providing weather, climate, and crop analytics globally. Comparable to DAS in delivering subscription-based agronomic and climate data products to agribusiness and development organizations, with similar focus on combining satellite data with field-level analytics.
