SCAP: Revolutionizing Agricultural Resource Management in Serbia
SCAP (Competitive Agriculture Project) is a digital platform that centralizes agricultural resource access, streamlines grant distribution, and supports farmers and government administrators across Serbia. Focusing on underserved groups, it modernizes legacy systems, reduces administrative overhead, and uses AI-driven tools to boost efficiency and scale agricultural impact nationwide.


Challenge and Scope
- Data Fragmentation Separate databases and manual workflows hindered over 10,000 farmers from efficiently accessing grants, competitions, and essential agricultural documents.
- Legacy Infrastructure Outdated government systems caused delays in public call processing and reporting, reducing agility and competitiveness in Serbia’s agriculture sector.
- Scalability Gaps Existing platforms lacked multilingual support, large-scale data analytics, and secure cloud file storage, limiting system scalability and growth.
- Limited Access Offline, paper-based processes excluded vulnerable rural farmers from critical agricultural funding and digital resources.
- Search Limitations Absence of a unified, real-time search engine made it difficult to find relevant data, documents, and public calls across the platform.
- Multi-Tenant Cloud Platform Built a secure, scalable web platform with role-based access for farmers (React.js) and administrators (Vue.js), leveraging cloud infrastructure.
- Multi-Layered Data Architecture Implemented MySQL clustering for reliable transactional data, Redis caching for high performance, and AWS S3 for secure, scalable file storage.
- Advanced Search Engine Integrated ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) within Kubernetes to deliver real-time, AI-powered search and filtering across all agricultural datasets.
- AI-Powered Automation Deployed NLP-driven translation services supporting Serbian, English, and Hungarian, plus automated Twilio notifications to improve stakeholder communication.
- Analytics and Dashboards Configured Google Analytics 4 and custom dashboards to monitor user engagement, resource usage, and regional agricultural impact—enabling data-driven decision-making.
Approach
- Fast and Flexible Development Process Adopted an agile development methodology enabling rapid iterations, faster delivery, and continuous improvements without disrupting platform availability.
- High-Speed Data Access for Better User Experience Optimized system performance and cloud infrastructure to provide instant access to public calls, profiles, and documents, even during peak usage.
- Platform Built to Scale with Growing Demand Engineered a scalable, multi-tenant cloud platform designed to handle thousands of simultaneous users with reliable, seamless performance.
- Inclusive Access Through Multilingual Support Implemented AI-powered multilingual support (Serbian, English, Hungarian) to ensure equitable access for minority and rural agricultural communities.
- Simplified Grant Application Process for Farmers Developed an intuitive, user-centered portal allowing farmers to apply for grants online, receive AI-driven recommendations, and manage documents efficiently.
- Streamlined Administration and Resource Management Equipped government administrators with automated tools for managing public calls, processing approvals, and monitoring regional fund distribution effectively.
- Modular System Ready for Future Growth Built a flexible, modular system architecture designed for easy feature expansion and adaptation to evolving agricultural sector needs.
- Powerful Search and Real-Time Insights Integrated advanced ELK Stack search and analytics dashboards providing real-time, data-driven insights for both farmers and administrators.
- Reliable and Always Available Platform Achieved 98% uptime with robust cloud hosting, ensuring consistent platform availability and dependable user experience.
- Significant Time Savings for Administrators Cut grant approval processing times by over 65% through automated workflows and efficient resource management, accelerating service delivery.
