Precision Planting Cloud
An all-inclusive web platform for ag-tech's leading enterprise.
Challenge
When an innovative client requires such unique business requirements, such that no turn-key on earth could the need...they turn to CSM. Precision Planting uses a unique and innovative approach; retrofit the equipment a farmer already owns, to maximize its benefit to the operation. Farmers are one of the most progressive and tech-savvy demographics in the world, and we would like to think we are Precision’s silver bullet.
Idea
As a case study, after a decade of development and invention, the question isn’t “What have we built for Precision Planting?” The question should be, “What haven’t we built?” We have run and grown alongside partners like Precision, to continued forward development, maintenance, vision & innovation, and collaboration with:
- Sales and incentive applications and cloud tools.
- ERP adaptations and solutions/integrations with Microsoft GP.
- RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) tool-chain cloud application.
