NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2026--
Sisense, the leading AI-first analytics platform for product and app teams, today announced that Cropin, the world’s largest AI platform for food and agriculture, has deployed Sisense to power embedded analytics across Cropin Cloud. By integrating Sisense directly into its product experience, Cropin transformed analytics from a manual, request-driven process into a scalable, self-service capability, delivering faster insights to customers worldwide.

Cropin helps leading CPG, food retail, food processing companies, and government organizations digitize farming operations across more than 100 countries. Its AI-powered solutions enable intelligent agriculture by improving productivity, sustainability, climate resilience, and risk management.
Before Sisense, Cropin relied on disconnected reporting and ETL tools that required multiple teams to support analytics delivery. Report requests often took three to six weeks to complete, creating bottlenecks for customers and internal teams alike.
“Before Sisense, every request had to go through [our team], and it was a long process involving multiple teams,” said Prakhyath Hegde, Head of Technology, Product, & AI Labs at Cropin.
As Cropin modernized its architecture and launched Cropin Cloud, the company evaluated several analytics vendors, including Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik, ultimately selecting Sisense for its embedded analytics capabilities, scalability, multi-tenancy support, and flexible APIs and SDKs.
Using Sisense Compose SDK and other embedding capabilities, Cropin integrated analytics directly into Cropin Cloud as a seamless, fully white-labeled experience that feels native to the platform.
“Sisense gave us a way to scale as a product,” said Hegde. “We are now able to scale our business without needing additional headcount.”
With Sisense, Cropin enabled self-service analytics for its customers, automated onboarding and analytics setup across customers and geographies, and deployed secure, customer-specific analytics environments at global scale using ElastiCubes and role-level security.
By modernizing its analytics capabilities with Sisense, Cropin achieved significant operational and customer experience improvements, including:
“Now we extend developer access to our customers, and they can build reports themselves instead of depending on us,” Hegde said.
Cropin is now exploring Sisense Intelligence capabilities, including natural language querying and GenAI-powered analytics, to make insights even more accessible to non-technical users.
“We are looking forward to using Sisense Intelligence capabilities to build reports using natural language queries,” said Hegde.
“Cropin is a strong example of how embedded analytics can become a core part of the product experience,” said Andrew Loomis, VP of Customer Success at Sisense. “Their team has built a scalable platform that delivers actionable insights globally while maintaining operational efficiency as they grow.”

Cropin Scales Global AgTech Analytics With Sisense
LONDON & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2026--
Vertical Aerospace (“Vertical” or “the Company”) (NYSE: EVTL), a global aerospace and technology company pioneering electric aviation, today announced two key programme milestones: the start of integration testing for its next-generation hybrid-electric propulsion system, and the production of the first all-electric Valo battery from its upgraded assembly line.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260519226017/en/
These milestones represent continued progress across Vertical’s propulsion and energy systems programmes, both of which underpin the Company’s all-electric and future hybrid-electric aircraft roadmap.
Stuart Simpson, CEO of Vertical Aerospace, said:
“Hybrid capability complements our all-electric Valo platform and unlocks a broader range of civil and defence applications. At the same time, advancing our battery technology and manufacturing capability is critical to certification and scaling production. Together, these milestones demonstrate the strength and breadth of our technology platform.”
Hybrid-electric system enters testing phase
Vertical’s next-generation hybrid-electric propulsion system has begun testing on its dedicated Hybrid Propulsion Evaluation Rig (HYPER) at the Company’s Flight Test Centre at Cotswold Airport, marking a significant milestone after more than two years of development at the Vertical Energy Centre.
The HYPER facility enables full system integration and validation of the hybrid powertrain, including the turbine, generator and associated electrical systems, alongside testing of control architecture, system response and fault scenarios ahead of ground and flight testing.
The Company is working with several partners to integrate a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)-compatible gas turbine with an electric generator, while leading development of system integration, control architecture and software.
This turbogenerator will be integrated into a prototype hybrid-electric Valo aircraft for flight testing and demonstrations, while also supporting the development and validation of technologies for future hybrid variants of the aircraft. These hybrid-electric variants are expected to significantly expand range, payload and operational flexibility. Vertical is targeting certification of its hybrid-electric variant with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
Battery production milestone supports certification and scale-up
Vertical has also reached a key milestone in its proprietary battery programme, with the first battery produced on its upgraded assembly line, launched in March 2026, at the Vertical Energy Centre.
The 15,000 sq ft facility, already responsible for the battery systems used in piloted flight testing since 2024, has been enhanced with automated, aerospace-grade manufacturing processes designed to improve efficiency, consistency and performance, while supporting certification and future production.
The battery prototypes will go into rigorous environmental and operational testing. Battery packs produced on the assembly line will be used to support Vertical’s certification aircraft as it progresses through the final stages of certification with the UK CAA and EASA, as well as providing initial production capacity ahead of entry into service.
