What Dacom Farm Intelligence does

Dacom Farm Intelligence (Dacom BV) is a Netherlands-based agricultural technology company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Emmen. Since 2021 it has operated as part of CropX, which acquired a majority stake and integrated Dacom's agronomic expertise with CropX's analytics and machine learning platform under the CropX Agronomic Farm Management System. The company provides precision agriculture software and proprietary sensor hardware to farmers, agricultural contractors, and agribusiness customers across seven European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Germany, Denmark, and France.

The product portfolio follows a platform-plus-modules architecture. Core software products include Cloudfarm (connecting precision agriculture to crop registration), Irrigation Management, Disease Management, Crop Registration (Teeltregistratie), Weather Forecasting, Weather Data, and Boer&Bunder parcel intelligence, supported by the Boer&Bunder API and Boer&Bunder Data services for third-party enrichment. Hardware consists of the TerraSen advanced soil moisture station and the CropX Sensor. Farmlook is positioned as a separate module enabling agribusiness data exchange with growers. The platform collects data from soil to air — soil moisture, weather, and crop observations — to deliver decision support for higher yields, lower input costs, and reduced environmental impact.

Dacom operates a product-led growth motion with a 30-day free trial and self-serve account creation, supplemented by phone-based sales support. Revenue is generated through software subscriptions (Boer&Bunder, Dacom Boerderij), hardware sales (TerraSen, CropX Sensor), and API/data services (Boer&Bunder API, Boer&Bunder Data). The company is privately held under CropX ownership, with no public revenue disclosure; its founder is Jan Hadders.

Direct peers

• AGRIVI: European farm management software vendor offering crop planning, field operations and agronomic analytics. Targets the same farmer and agribusiness buyer as Dacom with a comparable SaaS subscription model.
• CropX: Global precision agriculture platform and majority owner of Dacom since 2021. Provides the analytics and ML backbone behind Dacom products; directly comparable in farm-management software, soil-sensor hardware and irrigation advisory for growers.
• 365FarmNet (CLAAS): CLAAS-backed European farm management platform providing field planning, documentation and partner-app integrations. Directly comparable to Dacom Boerderij for German and broader EU farmer audiences.
• xFarm Technologies: European farm management platform with strong presence in Italy, Spain and Switzerland, offering crop registration, sensor integrations and agronomic decision support. Closely comparable to Dacom's Boer&Bunder + Dacom Boerderij combo for non-Dutch EU markets.

Emerging players

• Sentera: Precision agriculture analytics provider focused on drone- and satellite-based crop imagery, integrated into partner farm-management platforms. Adjacent comparable to Dacom's sensor-driven and parcel-data analytics stack.
• Taranis: AI-driven precision agriculture platform combining aerial imagery, field scouting and agronomic insights. Comparable as an emerging alternative to Dacom's parcel-intelligence and disease-management modules for European row-crop and specialty-crop growers.
• Agriplace: Dutch-based farm data and compliance platform serving European growers and their buyers on sustainability and traceability. Overlaps with Dacom's Farmlook agribusiness data-exchange proposition and serves similar regulatory-driven use cases.

Broad incumbents

• John Deere Operations Center: John Deere's precision-ag ecosystem combining equipment telematics, agronomic data and partner APIs. Comparable because it ingests soil, weather and field data into a single farmer dashboard, similar to Dacom's Boer&Bunder and irrigation modules.
• Trimble Agriculture (CNH Industrial): Precision agriculture software and hardware suite (Trimble Ag) now part of CNH Industrial, covering farm management, water management and variable-rate application. Direct overlap with Dacom's irrigation and crop-registration workflows for European growers.
• Climate FieldView (Bayer): Bayer's digital agriculture platform offering field-data capture, variable-rate prescriptions and agronomic analytics. Competes head-to-head with Dacom in European farm management software but is bundled with Bayer's seed and crop-protection portfolio.
