Avon, Ind.

Marketing Director, Co-Alliance, LLP.

 

A: We built a data portal for our customers and our sales people to be able to see their accounts, statements, invoices, payments, and field level detail. We try to lead with technology anywhere we can, so we’re always looking for new and better ways to help our farmers manage their data and their input costs. We are very transparent in everything we’re doing with customers. We’ve got a WeatherView module in our data portal that evaluates crop progress based on historical weather, growing degree units, and future forecasts. We also built a network of weather stations every five miles across the entire trade territory.
