Ones & Zeros: Digital agriculture and custom software, built in Sri Lanka
Ones & Zeros is a Sri Lankan software company that builds the digital systems governments and development agencies depend on. Working with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), we have delivered national platforms that register farmers, certify what they grow, track food prices and put advisory information directly into farmers' hands, in Sri Lanka and across four Pacific island nations.
- 26 Projects shipped
- 4 Pacific nations run our farmer registry
- 3 National institutions use our GAP platform
- 2 UN agencies we've delivered for
National platforms, built in Sri Lanka
CROPIX: Sri Lanka’s unified agriculture platform
CROPIX, the unified agriculture platform we built for Sri Lanka’s Department of Agriculture with FAO, is at the centre of our work. It brings crop data, early-warning planting advisories and mobile tools for farmers and extension officers together in one system, and its API gateway lets other institutions use the data without copying it.
- National crop and farmer data in one system
- Early-warning planting advisories
- Mobile apps in Sinhala, Tamil and English
- API gateway aligned with SL-GEA and LIFe

Sri Lanka & the PacificIn production across five countries
Our Digital Farmer Registry runs nationally in Tonga, the Cook Islands, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, alongside FAO activity reporting and decision support, the national school garden programme portal, and food-price apps for HARTI and the National Food Price Index.
A full-service software team
Beyond the public sector, we build custom web applications, mobile apps, e-commerce stores and corporate websites for professional bodies, exporters, retailers, conservation groups and growing businesses. Every project gets the standards a UN agency asks of us: Java and Spring Boot back ends, React and Next.js web apps, Flutter mobile apps, security checks built into delivery, and a documented handover.
Why clients choose us
We are small enough that clients work directly with senior engineers and get fast decisions, and experienced enough to deliver national systems on fixed timelines. Our prices are set for institutions and businesses in developing economies, without lowering the bar on quality.
Vision & Mission
To be the software partner that organisations across South Asia and the Pacific trust with the systems they cannot afford to get wrong.
To make world-class agricultural and enterprise software attainable for the institutions that need it most — helping governments, development agencies, and businesses turn data into better decisions.
