Our clients, which are mostly state ministries of agriculture, forestry and the environment, are very pleased with the increasing number of applications that are being filed electronically, which is primarily the result of using AgroView®: “With AgroView®, the acknowledged high standards of GAF in the field of GIS cater optimally for the additional requirements regarding the filing of applications, such as form design and complex plausibility checks. As a result, this application tool is a real all-rounder and acceptance by farmers is very high. The 'silver disk' or web-client application from Munich is therefore eagerly anticipated by farmers in March each year."

Just as positive are the vibes coming from the various state agricultural offices. Since the introduction of the payment entitlements system, with annual activation being related to eligible area and cross-compliance obligations, and most recently to greening practices, the complexity of administrative procedures has increased enormously. Even highly dedicated agricultural office staff sometimes therefore cannot possibly know every last detail of the European guidelines. In this context, the Application CD, with its straightforward user guide and comprehensive plausibility checks for all forms, has emerged as an essential digital work of reference for farmers. The complexity of the administrative procedures affects not only the farmers but also the agricultural office. Without digital data transfer, the deadline for application processing could not be met.

Administrations and farmers thus benefit in equal measure from the advantages provided by using AgroView®. In various agricultural administrations, the LaFIS® product suite is also deployed alongside AgroView®, along with GAF remote sensing services in the field of subsidy control that have developed over the course of many years. This is no pure coincidence but is a result of the enthusiasm, professional competence and customer-friendly service of GAF. As a satisfied customer describes it: “The technical skills and not least the excellent spirit of cooperation during project development mean that GAF AG will also in the future be an indispensable partner for the realisation of further e-government projects”.
