Vaya Will Soon Give Farmers The Option To Lease Out Tractors

You may be one of the subscribers that received a message from Vaya that read: Do you own a Tractor? Want to make money leasing out your excess capacity? Do not be left behind. Call 144 to register & be part of the agricultural revolution. Though that message is being sent from EcoFarmer, it seems the initiative is actually originating from Vaya. By the next planting season, Vaya wants to be the one providing tractors to farmers across the country. According to Cassava SmarTech CEO, Mr Eddie Chibi, the company plans to register more than 10 00 tractors from the national fleet of more than 15 000 tractors. How will this work?

It also gives alarm signal if the product is contaminated with water to prevent customers from using i...

Google Chrome Turns 10 And Brings With It A New Redesign And Some Features

Applications

For companies, anniversaries work a bit differently than the way it works for people. Whereas people expect gifts when they reach a certain milestones, for companies milestones are usually a test to see if they can remain relevant and actually keep innovating. This was the case with iPhone when they reached 10 last year and introduced the polarising iPhone X. This will be the case for Samsung as their Galaxy line of smartphones also reaches a decade. It seems expectations are actually ratcheted up and no one cares to look back. With Google’s Chrome Browser celebrating its 10th anniversary yesterday, it seems the team at Google is not resting on their laurels and they’ve brought forward a fresh coat of paint to keep things exciting. The Google Chrome browser has finally caught up with ot

Local Developers Make Self-Valuation App To Help You Meet Your Goals

Applications

One of our biggest weaknesses is following through with targets we set for ourselves. We are constantly setting lofty goals, and at times even plotting the path to victory. For whatever reason however sometimes we just don’t take the necessary steps to reach these goals. Evaluate My Future (EMF) is a self-valuation and motivational app that aims to solve this mess. The application allows you to set goals and track their progress with the goals you set for yourself. When you enter the application, you’re greeted by a landing page that contains two options; Goals and Tasks. The Goals tab can be clicked but unfortunately Tasks isn’t accessible. It seems this will be fixed at a later time with an update. Users add goals and these goals are tracked over a number of specified
