Agres

What Agres does

Agres (legal name: Agres Sistemas Eletrônicos S/A) is a Brazilian manufacturer of precision agriculture technology founded in 2004 in Curitiba, Paraná, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Italy's Grupo Tecomec (part of Emak Group) since 2019. The company designs and builds a full-stack hardware-and-software ecosystem: multi-constellation GNSS antennas (ANR 10/20/30/30 PRO) with positioning precision from decimeter to centimeter, ISOBUS-compatible onboard computers (agroNave line plus proprietary isoView/geoNave), electronic control units (isoBox Sprayer, Orchard, Hydraulic, and Spreader), autopilot systems (e-Steer electric, h-Steer hydraulic, and ready predisposto), and modular field components (Strong Box, Spray Rate controllers, GNSS Cloud speed sensors, terrain compensation modules). Supporting the hardware is the isoFarm digital agriculture platform — a cloud-connected hub for task reporting, fleet monitoring, field management, weather forecasting, and telemetry — available via web and mobile (iOS and Android), with a freemium tier and isoFarm Pro at R$49.90/month.

Agres generates revenue through four streams: one-time hardware sales of computers, antennas, ECUs, autopilots, and 18 pre-configured kits; recurring software subscriptions via isoFarm Pro; subscription-based GNSS signal correction services under the NAVE brand (NAVE 15, NAVE PRO, with NAVE 30/20 available without subscription and NAVE RTK requiring base station hardware investment); and technical support and training services delivered through the Agrescola program and WhatsApp/online channels. The company sells primarily to three customer segments — rural producers from small family farms to large commercial operations, agricultural dealers and cooperatives, and OEM equipment manufacturers — distributing through dealer networks, direct sales, OEM integration, and the Tecomec subsidiary Spraycom in wholesale channels. Agres holds ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 certifications, CE/FCC certifications for its international-market products, and Great Place to Work certification, and operates within the Tecomec Agriculture Division that provides global supply chain and distribution reach across Europe and beyond.

• Hexagon Agriculture (formerly Leica Geosystems Agriculture): Provides GNSS guidance, autosteer, and HxGN AgrOn farm management platform with ISOBUS support — a close comparable on technology stack and target customer.
• Trimble Agriculture: Global leader in precision agriculture guidance, autosteer, GNSS receivers, and farm management software (Trimble Ag Software, GFX displays). Closely comparable to Agres' full-stack hardware-to-cloud model.
• Raven Industries (CNH Industrial): Now part of CNH, Raven offers Viper 4+ field computers, RS1 steering, and rate controllers overlapping Agres' agroNave, e-Steer, and isoBox product lines.

Broad incumbents

• John Deere (Deere & Company): Global tractor/equipment OEM with proprietary precision agriculture stack (StarFire receivers, AutoTrac, G5 displays, John Deere Operations Center). Competes via factory-integrated systems; Agres counters via ISOBUS interoperability.
• AGCO Corporation: Equipment manufacturer (Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra) offering Fuse and PTx Trimble-aligned precision agriculture solutions. Competes as an OEM-embedded alternative to aftermarket players like Agres.
• CNH Industrial (Case IH, New Holland): Tractor OEM offering AFS Connect and Precision Land Management (PLM) systems that bundle guidance, displays, and telematics. Indirectly competes by absorbing precision agriculture into equipment sales.

Emerging players

• Climate LLC (Bayer / Climate FieldView): Digital agriculture platform providing field data analytics, variable rate prescriptions, and farm management — overlapping with Agres' isoFarm platform layer, though on a software-centric model.
