Raven Introduces Connected Workflow Solutions for Ag Retailers
July 23 2019 - 08:00AM
Raven Industries,
Inc. (NASDAQ:RAVN), a leading provider
of precision ag technology, has expanded its logistics and control
offering to help ag retailers find more efficiency, and
profitability, in their custom application operations. Featuring
the integrated suite of AgSync™, Slingshot® and the Viper® 4+
software and hardware; Raven’s Connected Workflow™ allows
users to seamlessly and wirelessly connect their office to the
field and back again.
The system helps retailers tie together their workflow and
better manage key performance indicators like work, idle and
transit times with real-time access. In addition, the Connected
Workflow creates more visibility, control and accuracy of all
functions across the entire operation, regardless of size or number
of locations. Retailers using the platform have experienced an
average of 20 percent gain in operational efficiency, by
simplifying planning and work order generation, field application
and invoice creation.
The company’s recent acquisition of AgSync has added new
capabilities that complement Raven’s existing Slingshot and Viper
technology. Together, they provide the front-end and back-end
connection to the retailer’s existing operating and agronomy
systems to create a closed-loop, integrated portfolio of services.
The Connected Workflow can either function as a stand-alone
offering or plug into existing systems as needed via a robust
offering of APIs or custom software integrations — many of which
are already completed for the most popular systems ag retailers are
utilizing today.
“We’re excited to announce advancements in Raven’s Connected
Workflow solutions,” said Paul Welbig, Director of Slingshot
Services + Logistics for Raven Applied Technology. “Progressive
retailers need to look for innovative ways to enhance efficiency
and profitability, as making significant margin on many of the
traditional crop input products is getting more difficult. The
simplicity and connectivity of our platform quickly gives retailers
more control of their technology and does not require them to sell
‘added value’ to their grower customers to reap real benefits for
their business.”
The Connected Workflow helps retailers improve efficiency in
many ways and across all levels of an ag retailer organization. Key
benefits of the system include:
- Better equipment utilization
- More acres spread per available day
- Quicker and more accurate billing
- Fewer application complaints
- Automated record-keeping
- More consistent customer experience
