Nowadays, the use of technology has become essential in any business, regardless of the area of activity. They provide greater financial gain and can automate processes that were previously done in an archaic way. The agribusiness sector, for example, has always had very rigid processes.
For a few years now, technological solutions have been used inside and outside the field to help producers make decisions, as well as assist management processes, which are still quite bureaucratic and cause losses for corporations. According to a study carried out by the Brazilian Precision Agriculture Commission (CBAP), 67% of agricultural properties in the country use technological innovations in their production processes.
According to Rafael Dal Molin, director of Elevor - startup that develops business management software for the most diverse segments - investing in Information Technology (IT) in the agricultural sector is a growing need, as entrepreneurs deal with major challenges in their management and need strategic, tactical planning and operational to interact with the market. Using ERP360Agro, for example, entrepreneurs have real-time information about products, stocks and prices, among other knowledge.
“Small and medium-sized entrepreneurs often say that investing in IT solutions to achieve a certain objective will exceed their budgets, but I guarantee that navigating in the dark, without reliable metrics and information, making decisions solely based on intuition, can be much more expensive. Furthermore, there are already accessible technologies that bring more clarity to the organizational environment”, explains Dal Molin.
Another problem faced is the handling of documents. Most of the time, various information is generated and shared across all areas of the company, which makes processes take longer and in some cases, some data is lost. Therefore, one of the solutions is to make document management automated, concentrating all data and processes on a single platform, facilitating the creation, approval, distribution of records and increasing productivity.
To meet this demand, the docket performs the search, management and pre-analysis of documents. It develops solutions that help large companies scale their businesses and reduce costs through SaaS. This way, the user can request documents from different spheres, choosing the issuing body, as well as the desired certificate. This means that all issuance, payment and quality control steps are resolved by the platform, and the customer is able to have visibility of each stage of the process. And, the technology developed guarantees agility for large companies that need to work with different documents related to different agribusiness operations.
With the evolution of technology within the business environment, having digital tools is a game changer for businesses today. Managing operational processes such as accounting, finance, sales, inventories and customer relations and operations clearly and on a single platform - from anywhere in the world - allows managers to have a broader view of the establishment, making decisions that directly impact on results.
