Automation & Digitization of Crop Management Life cycle for Seed Corn & Soybean
Gro Alliance’s application had runtime bugs and system glitches. Also, it lacked customizability with limited operations, which affected productivity and data accuracy.
Gro Alliance needed an improved system that overcame one’s network, compatibility, and calculation issues, which would boost the company’s operation and decision-making efficiency.
Folio3 developed an application with solid compatibility while also addressing the employee-location-tracking, task-history, and bulk import issues faced by Gro Alliance.
Gro Alliance is a leading provider of agricultural products and services. The company has seed production facilities in seven states, and it generates around $23.7 Million in annual revenue. Gro Alliance is committed to providing its customers with the highest quality products and services and helping them achieve their agricultural goals.
We analyzed Gro Alliance’s operational challenges, prioritized key issues, and developed detailed user personas to understand workflows, pain points, and critical areas requiring improvement.
We collaborated with Gro Alliance to create and refine wireframes, iterating based on feedback and securing approvals before translating them into detailed, functional designs.
Using an existing product foundation, we incorporated Gro Alliance’s requirements, resolved limitations of the previous system, and customized features guided by approved wireframes and designs.
After integrating the solution with Gro Alliance’s data and workflows, we deployed it and conducted comprehensive training sessions to support adoption and effective day-to-day usage.
Inbred are used to create hybrids for growing different crops in the fields. Inbred Management is being done by adding inbreds in the application using some details and later on two inbreds are combined to make a hybrid under Hybrid Management that is assigned to a field.
The Hybrids, which help in growing more crops, are used in other fields too.
Thus, helping Gro Alliance improve crop yield.
Gro Alliance team is now able to create their fields, Geofence them and add notes with respect to each field in the app to track the real time performance of each field in real time.
Field management has become easier with respect to the crop type and users working on different tasks on the ground including planting, harvesting, silk & shed counting etc.
With the folio3 developed application, GroAlliance can manage the complete crop lifecycle. From creating or adding the fields, attaching hybrids, assigning fields to users/scout, and performing different activities from planting to harvesting, all can be managed from a single solution.
The solution helps Gro Alliance keep track of crop in critical times at each step of crop cycle.
With the real-time dashboard and reports, GroAlliance is able to review the status of all the activities being performed on the fields with the real-time data and estimate crop yield. In addition to that, the dashboard also shows the completed/pending tasks with respect to the users which helps admins to make decision on the basis of results.
On the other hand, the reports share a very detailed oriented view of the tasks being performed using the application and this also helps in generating the meaningful data for the admins and can further be used in analytical tools like Microsoft Power BI and Tableu
Through collaborative efforts, Gro Alliance is thriving with its new system that solves all the company’s productivity, data accuracy, and compatibility issues, resulting in a noticeable increase in number of fields handling. The client is bringing soybean operations on the system as well.
