This business sector covers an extremely large cycle, which includes growing the raw materials to processing and distributing the agribusiness goods, covering agriculture, fishing (obvious raw material), but also the processing industry and associated materials.

The organization of your information system

addresses significant constraints to ensure your business operates correctly, constraints determined by the various functions of your agribusiness activity:

• Manufacturing (foodstuffs, agricultural goods or materials for agriculture, etc.),
• Storage (raw materials, finished goods, etc.) and logistics,
• Sales (fleets of traveling salespeople) and direct interaction on production,
• Distribution (direct or via distribution channels),
• Services (related to agribusiness, such as health, veterinary and inspection services, etc.).

For your system to work, you must collect and use the data to optimize the operation of your locations, your terminals and your employees.

You are aiming for a good financial return on your computing equipment investment.

One of the main questions for your business sector is tracking, but also managing exchanges and maintaining large volumes of data, running a complex data processing and information chain, at several levels that includes involving the producer himself.

• You need tools to track information, such as cattle identification, veterinary examinations, for community organizations for example.
• You need efficient communication with the several elements of your professional network like agri-cooperatives (head office, computing department, and mobile computing logistical platform), in quasi real time, to satisfy your customer.
• You need to effectively manage your mobility projects :
  • sales representatives,that sell your products and services,
  • workers, who provide the servicing, logistics, manufacturing, and control.

You may also consider mobility projects to lengthen the manufacturing information chain by giving a key role to the producer him/herself (for example for a veterinary examination at breeder’s facility, the breeder will be able to make his/her own database available to the examiner).

You may also think about mobility projects, which allow an extension of the production computing chain to the producer himself.
