Our Solution

Off-grid cold storage that runs on sunlight and thinks for itself.

Solar power for reliability, IoT and AI for intelligence, farm-to-market transportation to close the last mile, and training for adoption that lasts. Here's exactly how it works.

Without WaterBrooks Technologies

5 days
  • Average shelf life in tropical heat
  • Forced quick, low-price sales
  • No visibility into storage conditions
  • Reliant on diesel or no storage at all

With WaterBrooks Technologies

21 days
  • Shelf life extended up to 4x
  • Spoilage reduced by 60–65%
  • Real-time IoT monitoring, anywhere
  • 100% solar-powered, off-grid ready
  • Coordinated transport to market
How it works

From harvest to sale, in five steps

Every WaterBrooks deployment follows the same path designed so a cooperative or smallholder can adopt it with minimal disruption to how they already work.

01

Solar-powered storage, installed on-site

A fully off-grid cold storage unit is deployed close to where produce is harvested or aggregated no dependence on unreliable grid power or costly diesel.

02

Produce goes in, conditions are optimised

The unit maintains the temperature and humidity range that keeps each type of produce fresh for as long as physically possible.

03

IoT sensors monitor in real time

Connected sensors continuously track storage conditions, sending live data so nothing is left to guesswork.

04

AI turns readings into decisions

Predictive insights tell farmers and cooperatives the best time to store, move, or sell reducing uncertainty across the value chain.

05

Training keeps it working

Ongoing community support and training ensure the technology is adopted correctly and sustained for the long term.

06

Transported to market, still fresh

When it's time to sell, we help coordinate farm-to-market transportation moving produce from the cold storage unit straight to local markets and traders, so the shelf life gained in storage isn't lost again on the road.

What's inside

Built for reliability, designed for scale

Solar-powered

Runs entirely off-grid, eliminating diesel costs and emissions while staying reliable in rural, low-infrastructure areas.

IoT-enabled monitoring

Live temperature and humidity data, accessible remotely so cooperatives always know exactly what state their produce is in.

AI-driven insight

Predictive analytics that recommend the optimal storage, handling and distribution window for each batch of produce.

Rural & urban ready

Designed to be deployed close to the farm gate as well as urban aggregation points and markets like Akinyele.

60–65% less spoilage

Measured reduction in produce loss, translating directly into more income retained by farmers and cooperatives.

Human-centred design

Clean energy and smart systems, backed by training and community support that make adoption practical, not theoretical.

Farm-to-market transportation

Coordinated transport that carries produce from cold storage to markets and traders, protecting the shelf life gained along the way.

Education & community

Technology alone doesn't change behaviour

That's why education and community engagement are built into every deployment through training programs, workshops, and outreach that equip farmers with the knowledge to adopt effective preservation practices.

Training & Workshops

Hands-on preservation training

Farmers and cooperatives learn how to operate storage units, read IoT dashboards, and apply best practices for handling produce before and after storage.

Outreach

Community-level engagement

We work directly within farming communities building trust and local ownership so solutions are embraced, not just installed.

Nutrition Awareness

Connecting storage to nutrition

Programs that help communities understand the link between reduced food waste, food security, and better nutrition outcomes.

Sustained Learning

A culture of learning and collaboration

Ongoing engagement ensures solutions are sustained over time not a one-time installation, but a long-term relationship.
