Digital transformation
Speed to market
Real-time information
Supply-chain efficiency
Demand forecasting
The client was struggling to meet the ever-growing market demand for fresh produce. They were compromising efficiency and timely delivery due to manual tracking and forecasting of harvest orders between the harvest planners and growers, while operating outdated on-premise servers. This further resulted in the following challenges:
Late communication of harvest orders and late visibility of forecast changes
Delay in updating harvest orders based on last minute requests from supply chain groups
Poor accessibility of enterprise resources by external users and partners
Lack of quality and real-time data
Repeated configuration process on each individual server
Prone to data loss during emergencies
After a detailed baseline examination of systems, processes and operations, problems were identified to pinpoint areas, where best practices had been overlooked. Enquero’s solutions provided targeted and incremental fixes to generate rippling transformation from within the organization.
A mobile-based application was implemented to improve collaboration between growers and harvest planners to support near-term forecast and harvest order conversion. This communication, previously, was heavily dependent on telephonic conversations. The mobile application improved efficiency in harvest order creation because the planners could now access real-time updates and last-minute changes to orders.
The client was facing challenges in managing modern applications on traditional on-premise data servers. Enquero’s cloud migration services, helped the client to successfully migrate all their on-premise data to AWS cloud. The initial synchronization of the existing server data and the continuous replication of any newly written server data happened in real-time, making the process extremely streamlined. Through extensive use of various service offerings of AWS cloud for compute, storage, database, messaging and analytics, the client’s business processes were made agile and efficient, thus, enabling key functions to focus on value-driven activities.
