Agrilyze

What Agrilyze does

Agrilyze is a cloud-hosted, spatially-enabled precision agriculture SaaS platform founded in 2019 as a division of i-Open Technologies Inc. and headquartered in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The platform aggregates fragmented farm data from IoT sensors, GPS, drone and satellite imagery, and manual records into a unified browser- and mobile-based interface, delivering seven modular Smart Farm Apps that cover mapping, soil testing, AEM/traceability compliance, drone imagery analytics, nutrient management, agricultural research, and consulting workflows. Aerial imagery is supplied through a partnership with TerrAvion, and tropical agriculture image analysis is delivered through a strategic partnership with Costa Rica-based IndigoIA, with the two integrations anchoring the platform's computer-vision and predictive-analytics capabilities. Compliance with British Columbia's Code of Practice for Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM Code), which came into force in February 2019, is a central design requirement and a primary wedge into BC farm operators.

Agrilyze generates revenue through a subscription-based SaaS model with both self-serve signup and sales-assisted demo booking, although no pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. Its customer base spans SMB farmers, agricultural consultants and advisors, government agencies, and educational institutions such as SFU, UFV, and BCIT, with named users across dairy, berry, poultry, greenhouse, winery, tropical fruit, biogas, and mixed-farming operations. Go-to-market emphasizes community-led and partner-led motions, including academic co-development, government grants, and reseller agreements with TerrAvion, QuantoTech, and IndigoIA that extend reach into North America and Latin America. Operating geographies are anchored in the Fraser Valley and British Columbia, with claimed expansion into broader Canadian, North American, and Latin American markets.

Agrilyze has been funded primarily through non-dilutive capital: a $500,000 BC Agritech Grant in 2021 under StrongerBC and participation in a Digital Technology Supercluster consortium project in 2022 on autonomous agriculture digital twins. Ownership is concentrated within the i-Open Group of Companies, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing. Leadership includes Raymond Szabada as President and CEO of parent i-Open Technologies, Jonathon McIntyre as Sr. VP of Product Management for Agrilyze, and Vladimir Grigorescu as VP of Sales and Marketing.
