Operational hurdles affecting business outcomes
Manually crafting hundreds of unique recommendations for customers can be a daunting task. Each recommendation, tailored to specific fields and crops, becomes a bespoke solution, making it difficult to scale.
The use of spreadsheets or pen-and-paper methods can lead to disorganization and inefficiency. The risk of human error or miscalculations in these processes requires labour-intensive recalculations that are not easily identified. Ownership of tasks among agronomists, crop scouts, applicators and advisors can also become muddled, making collaboration more difficult.
The potential to expand your customer bases can be hindered by constraints such as service times and the labour-intensive nature of manual reporting, tracking and recommendation writing.
Acknowledging these challenges is the first step toward a transformative solution that addresses operational enhancements and helps cultivate stronger relationships between retailers and customers.
