We found Logiag
In 1999, Charles joins his brother Jacques to found Logiag (a blend word formed from software [logiciel] and agriculture).
The two brothers want to take advantage of a regulation implemented in Quebec in 1997: the Regulation respecting the reduction of pollution from agricultural sources (today the Agricultural Operations Regulation) which introduces the agro-environmental fertilization plans (AEFP), among other things.
Therefore, Charles and Jacques Nault create Logi-Fertilisation: software that facilitates the drafting and updating of AEFPs. Producers’ advisors use the software in the field to enter the necessary data. This data is then automatically sent to Jacques Nault, agr., who analyzes it to complete the AEFP.
This innovative business model brings us significant efficiency gains. In a few years, we reach about 750 clients.

We continue to grow and expand our network
We continue to form partnerships with agricultural advisors. In the field, they use our software to prepare their clients’ AEFP in collaboration with our agrologists.
In fact, we create an IT department in 2004 in order to meet demand.

We innovate with Registre+
In 2005, thanks to the knowledge of Gilles Clément in geomatics and programming, we create Registre+. This software, more powerful than Logi-Fertilisation, includes geomatics and registry components. Registre+ was such a breakthrough that at the time, its geomatic functions are integrated into Farm Credit Canada’s Champ PRO Mobile (now AgExpert) software suite.
This innovative business model brings us significant efficiencies and an increase in our customer base.

We dive into precision agriculture with
R&D on laser soil analysis
Charles discovers that the mining sector uses a very powerful technology to measure the ore concentration in soil: laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (LIBS). Enthusiastic, he decides to invest in research and development to adapt it to the agricultural sector.
Over the years, numerous research organizations collaborate on our precision agriculture project, including the National Research Council Canada, INO and the Computer Research Institute of Montréal.
In 2019, our efforts bear fruit, and we launch LaserAgTM. This technology, which completely changes soil analysis, is currently used by three laboratories: Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu) and Omnia (Zambia and South Africa).

We create two new departments
To better serve our customers, we continue to organize our services internally. We create two new departments: Agricultural Engineering and Fertilizing Residual (FR).

Our expertise is recognized
In 2021, LaserAg is named the best technology to quantify soil organic carbon by the Indigo Carbon challenge, an international competition.
In 2022, we are included in the Fonds Écoleader directory. This fund brings together more than 390 companies specializing in environmentally responsible practices or clean technologies.

We create a climate transition service
We create a climate transition service to help agricultural producers fight climate change to the benefit of the entire agri-food chain. This service allows them, among other things, to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, increase the amount of organic matter in their soils and create a ”carbon asset”.

We celebrate our 25th anniversary
As in our early days, we place sustainable development and innovation at the heart of our actions. This enables us to remain a leader in agri-environment in Quebec and, namely, to support the agri-food industry in reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.
The fact that we received the Coup de cœur de l’Innovateur en chef 2024 award from ADRIQ for our climate transition service confirms it!
