The product, called Quarto, is a cloud-based system with software as a service (SaaS), which can combine all functions in oil palm plantation management, Khor said, adding that it was also equipped with a mapping system with a high quality of resolution.
For the Quarto development and marketing the product in Indonesia and other countries, LintraMax received M$700,000 (US$158,013) from the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), he said.
