Swath

Swath turns satellite images into a simple map of where a crop is doing well and where it is falling behind. The site had to make that idea visible in a few seconds, to farmers who have no time for jargon.

Swath — A landing page for a crop-monitoring service that reads farm fields from satellite passes and sends a spray file to the tractor the same day.

Overview

A wheat field you can read from orbit

The brief

Swath sells to farms and grain co-ops in Europe. Most of them have seen dashboards full of charts and did not trust them. The page needed to show, not explain: what a satellite sees, how one season looks, and what lands in the tractor cab at the end of the day.

What we did

The whole site is built around one idea, the 10 metre pixel. In the hero a lens follows the cursor and shows the field as a vigour map, and scrolling sweeps the same map over the whole photo. A pinned section plays one wheat season week by week, with the problems appearing where they happened. Five map layers stack in 3D and lift out on hover, field photos break into index pixels, and a calculator gives the price for your hectares. All photos are one series of top-down aerials so the page reads as one piece.
