This article aims to address the use of technology in agribusiness, which has brought new management possibilities, as well as precision agriculture. Management systems are responsible for recording, measuring, managing, and analyzing geographically referenced information or data. Aiming to encourage the adoption of the precision agriculture practice, a data management system in precision agriculture was created, in a Web environment, maximizing the accessibility of the service to the user while also integrating a broader project, called AgDataBox, aiming to reduce the frontiers of knowledge from the integrated management. This is an exploratory research and the Webmodule of the AgDataBox project was developed using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. With the availability of a Webinterface, users now have a multifunctional and objective tool to manage their rural property. The use of free technologies, therefore free of charge for the user, made possible the development of a system that is free of charge for users, which allows data management and property management oriented to the areas that need more specific care, aiming a higher productivity and possible preservation of the soil and the environment.
