Agronomist App: Streamlining Agronomy with a Mobile App for Increased Efficiency
Challenges:
A global leader in potato products, relied on paper-based forms for agronomists to collect vital field and harvest data. This manual process was time-consuming, prone to errors, and hindered data analysis. The need for a digital solution to improve efficiency and data accuracy became crucial.
Solution:
This app, built with a focus on user experience (UX), aimed to:
Digitise data collection: Eliminate paper forms and streamline data entry.
Improve data accuracy: Reduce errors through real-time data capture and validation.
Enhance accessibility: Allow data collection from any field location.
Increase user efficiency: Save time and simplify workflows for agronomists.
Wins
Complete Digitisation: Paper forms were eliminated, achieving a 90% digital data collection process.
Increased User Efficiency: Data entry time was reduced by 80%, allowing agronomists more time for field analysis.
Quick User Adoption: The app's intuitive interface led to a 95% user adoption rate within the first three months.
Improved Data Quality: Real-time data capture and validation minimized errors, leading to more reliable data for informed decision-making.
Key Features
- Offline functionality: Data can be captured even in areas with limited connectivity.
