The Vassoler family, a small dairy producer in Jóia, Brazil, has successfully overcome the challenges posed by their remote location and lack of infrastructure thanks to Starlink.
With reliable internet connectivity enabled by Starlink, they have been able to enhance their cheese production through research and development, expand their customer base through effective marketing, and streamline their business operations. They can now handle online transactions easily, manage their inventory efficiently, and ensure compliance with taxation regulations. Starlink has significantly reduced the administrative burden on the family, enabling them to focus more on the core aspects of their business.
