Grain
There are many challenges in today’s Grain industry. As products are shipped all over the world by Rail, Ships and Trucks, there are many silos of information that have to be dealt with. This brings a huge challenge of knowing where your company is at in any given time (Position), in addition to challenging hedging strategies that are needed to make sure that you are mitigating your risk. Add the stress of knowing where your inventory is at in any given point in time and the challenges surrounding processing, cleaning and moving the grain within your facility.
The vast variety of processes and procedures can lead to several points of re-entering data into different systems in the elevator in order to process the information from the scale, to grading, to shipping and to rail car management.
The key to making things easier is to centralize your information within the facility. This allows you to have real time information so that you know your position in the elevator and reduces your re-enter/ rework, in addition to reducing your time with compliance issues and reporting.
