UK-based agritech software company Trinity AgTech has acquired the suite of satellite data analytics from cloud-based agrifood data firm Agrimetrics to enhance its software platform Sandy, an AI-driven tool that helps farms measure, manage, and report their natural capital. The purchase includes satellite imagery analysis tools developed by Agrimetrics and used across private and public sector projects, from farm yield forecasting to environmental monitoring.
Sandy draws on information from farmer observations, on-farm software and instruments, soil tests, and remote sensing such as LiDAR scanning. With analytics developed in-house, the latest acquisition completes the loop on capturing comprehensive data within an integrated system.
According to Trinity, its Sandy platform is agritech’s first Smart Natural Capital Navigator, using AI to help businesses create a complete asset register of their natural capital. The platform assists farms in planning and accessing natural capital opportunities through trading, provenance, and compliance, and aims to provide a holistic measurement of a farm’s natural, financial, productive, and environmental position.
We’re ensuring that the UK’s investment and immense expertise in satellite analytics will carry on and scale up. Integrating Agrimetrics’ market-leading technology into our ecosystem of data sources means farmers, land managers and other food and farming stakeholders will have even more robust analytics, with a much reduced data collection burden
Trinity will be able to deliver near real-time insights on crop and grass performance, soil conditions, water flows, and overall natural capital assets across every field in the UK, Europe, the US, and beyond. Trinity is part of the Trinity Natural Capital Group, while Agrimetrics is a provider of cloud-based data marketplaces and analytics tools for the agrifood and related sectors.
According to Trinity, continuous and comprehensive data from multiple sources flowing into Sandy will improve both the quality and quantity of insights, making analytics more robust, credible, and user-friendly. Farmers will receive early alerts related to crop conditions and be able to address risks such as crop stress, disease pressure, and water shortages.
Trinity’s Integrated Agri-Data Analytics
Full-stack agritech platforms like Sandy reflect a shift from scattered digital tools to unified intelligence systems that give farms a single source of truth.
Instead of relying on separate apps for soil data, carbon accounting, compliance, and profitability, Sandy integrates satellite analytics, field records, climate models, and sustainability metrics into one decision engine. As farming is increasingly influenced by factors such as climate risk, regulatory reporting, and margin pressure, making holistic, evidence-based insights essential.

Verified data supports more efficient problem-solving, from yield forecasting to carbon sequestration. This process is designed to help growers build farm resilience and improve profitability by optimising inputs, reducing waste, protecting soils, and increasing productivity
For agribusinesses and food buyers, these platforms provide audit ready data and traceability, while for farmers they simplify complex decisions and reduce input waste. As agriculture becomes more data-driven, platforms like Sandy are emerging as the core digital infrastructure of modern farm management.
Leveraging Geo-spatial Insights
For Trinity the acquisition of satellite analytics represents passing of torch from Agrimetrics to Trinity and a win for UK and global agritech. Satellite derived data has become foundational for modern farm decision-support systems, powering models for crop health, soil moisture, nutrient use, disease risk, carbon measurement, and sustainability reporting.
Geo-spatial firms often struggle to capture the full commercial value of their datasets due to fragmented agriculture markets. Integrating satellite analytics into a broader farm intelligence suite enables monetization through bundled advisory tools, supply-chain traceability systems, and enterprise-level risk dashboards.
By bringing Agrimetrics’ remote-sensing assets in-house, Trinity aims to deliver a more vertically integrated intelligence platform, tightening the link between field-level data collection and actionable recommendations for farmers, agribusinesses, and food-supply chains.
