What Spherag does

Spherag (legally SPHERAG TECK IOT, S.L.) is a Spanish agtech company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Zaragoza, Spain, that provides IoT-enabled irrigation automation solutions for agricultural growers, irrigation districts, and adjacent water-management users. The company's core offering combines proprietary hardware — the solar-powered, wireless Atlas X IoT device supporting NB-IoT, LTE-M, and EGPRS cellular connectivity — with a cloud platform that enables remote monitoring, scheduling, and real-time control of valves, pumps, and sensors without requiring fixed internet infrastructure at the deployment site. The product portfolio is organized around two platform variants (Grower Platform for individual farmers and Irrigation District Platform for water cooperatives), supplemented by compatible sensors (soil moisture, water conductivity) and vertical applications for livestock farms and urban green spaces.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time IoT hardware sales (Atlas X devices), recurring SaaS subscriptions to the cloud platform (annual billing cadence), and bundled professional services for installation and integration. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to deployment scale, geography, and channel arrangement rather than published tiers. Spherag pursues a multi-motion go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales targeting large agricultural operations, irrigation districts, and agrifood cooperatives with a global distributor and installer network; the company's 2026 strategic distribution partnership with Rivulis Europe adds a dedicated European dealer channel for irrigation infrastructure customers. Demand generation is concentrated in agricultural trade fairs (FIMA, SMAGUA, EIMA, FIGAN) complemented by content marketing, SEO, and email channels.

Spherag reports a deployment footprint of more than 10,000 IoT devices across 450+ agricultural projects in 30+ countries, with quantified customer outcomes of 35% water savings and 25% energy savings. The company has raised €3 million in a 2022 funding round led by Ship2B Ventures with Bonsai and BayWa Venture, and operates with 11-50 employees. Customers include Frutas Mifra (Spain), Longbridge Estate (UK), and Rivulis Europe customers served through partnership; the company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001, ENS, and UNE 318002-3:2021 interoperability certifications.

Core offering

Spherag sells an integrated IoT and cloud platform for automated irrigation and water management in agriculture. The Atlas X solar-powered, wireless IoT device connects via NB-IoT, LTE-M, or EGPRS cellular networks and is paired with two cloud platforms (Grower Platform for farmers and Irrigation District Platform for water cooperatives) plus compatible sensors for soil moisture and water conductivity monitoring.

Product overview

Spherag offers an integrated IoT and cloud platform solution for water management and irrigation automation. The core product portfolio consists of the Atlas X IoT device (autonomous, solar-powered hardware for valve control and sensor reading), paired with two cloud platforms: the Grower Platform for individual farmers and the Irrigation District Platform for water cooperatives. The ecosystem includes compatible sensors (soil moisture, water conductivity) and vertical applications for urban green spaces and livestock farms. All components are designed for plug-and-play installation with NB-IoT/LTE-M/EGPRS connectivity enabling global deployment.
