What iXMAP does

iXMAP Services GmbH & Co. KG is a German B2B software company headquartered in Regenstauf, Bavaria, that builds and operates a cloud-based Smart Farming Platform for the agricultural sector. Founded in 2009 as a subsidiary of the geo-konzept Group, iXMAP was among the first commercial providers of Farm Management Systems and Precision Farming solutions in Germany and leverages over 20 years of accumulated agricultural domain experience. The platform combines a digital field record (Ackerschlagkartei) with specialized modules including Auto-MZK (algorithmic management zone maps from satellite imagery), biomass maps, basic fertilization, application cards (ASK) for variable-rate seeding and fertilizing, geoTRAX track planning, DLG-Cert sustainability assessment, and PowerBI dashboards, with exports supporting machinery displays from Trimble, Fendt, and ISOXML/Shape/KML formats.

The core technical stack pairs cross-manufacturer telemetry integration with a proprietary Auto-MZK computer-vision algorithm that processes cloud-free satellite imagery at specific points in the crop cycle to generate zone maps, reducing manual map preparation from hours to minutes. iXMAP also delivers custom software development services and operates a white-label distribution model in which partners such as AGRAVIS NetFarming GmbH and DLG deploy the platform in their own corporate design. A 2021 strategic R&D partnership with exatrek (telemetry) and Kleffmann Digital (satellite imagery processing) consolidates approximately 60 developers across the three firms.

Revenue is generated through four streams: white-label platform subscriptions and licensing, custom software development services, tiered management zone map services (automated vs. manual), and R&D partnership licensing/royalties. The company employs 1–10 people, operates exclusively in the DACH region, and reports no external funding or revenue figures; customer reach is mediated through a network of agricultural partners rather than direct farmer sales.

Core offering

iXMAP provides a cloud-based Smart Farming Platform for the agricultural sector, combining digital field records, satellite-based management zone mapping, and precision farming tools for variable-rate seeding and fertilizing. The platform is offered as a white-label solution for partners such as AGRAVIS and DLG to distribute under their own brand, alongside custom software development services for agricultural digital product creation.

Product overview

iXMAP offers a comprehensive Smart Farming platform as a unified online system with multiple integrated modules. The core platform combines a digital field record system (Ackerschlagkartei) with specialized precision farming modules including: Auto-MZK (automatic management zone maps using satellite imagery analysis), Biomass Maps, Basic Fertilization, Corn Seeding, Application Cards (ASK) for variable-rate application, DLG-Cert sustainability assessment, geoTRAX (track planning), and Animal Monitoring. The platform enables partial-area-specific farming where fields are managed as zones with different yield potentials, generating application maps for smart agricultural machinery. iXMAP also provides custom software development services and leverages a partner network including AGRAVIS/NetFarming, exatrek, Kleffmann Digital, DLG, and supports export formats for Trimble and Fendt equipment.

Products and services

• Smart Farming Platform Online cloud-based platform serving as a comprehensive farm management system combining field record keeping (Ackerschlagkartei), application mapping, and precision farming tools. Deployed as a white-label solution for partners (e.g., AGRAVIS, DLG) and supports export formats compatible with agricultural machinery displays (Trimble, Fendt).
• Digital Field Record (Digitale Ackerschlagkartei) Digital field documentation system enabling farmers to plan and record field activities, calculate seeding/fertilizer quantities, group fields by crops/locations/diseases, and track field history. Includes culture and product databases covering approximately 500 crops and 6,000 products.
• Auto-MZK (Automatic Management Zone Maps) Module for automatic generation of management zone maps using an algorithm that analyzes cloud-free satellite maps at specific times in the crop cycle, considering up to 10 years of cultivation history. Enables partial-area-specific farming with variable-rate application for seeding and fertilizing.
• Biomass Maps (Biomassekarten) Module for creating biomass maps as part of the precision farming toolkit, enabling crop health visualization through satellite-derived vegetation data.
• Track Planning (Fahrspurplanung / geoTRAX) Partially automated track planning software with wizard-based interface enabling farmers to configure track variants and headlands step-by-step for agricultural machinery. Provides automatic segmentation and AB-line export functionality.
