Digitalization is the key to the success of modern agribusiness
Today, the most important transformation of our time is taking place - digitalization. This is a phenomenon that is designed to simplify our lives and make doing business more efficient. It allows us to transfer a huge amount of information into a structured data system and facilitate the work of all enterprises, including agribusinesses, which are distinguished by their industry specifics and management system requirements. Digitalization in agribusiness radically changes the approach to organizing the collection, processing, storage and use of information data, reducing production costs and increasing productivity, and hence profitability.
Global development trends. There are two main directions in which digitalization is moving, namely, increasing productivity and creating fully digitized enterprises in the future. The use of new technologies in business reduces overall costs, which increases profits. It is thanks to digitization that companies realize that they are able to improve in their industry. Thus, less effort is required, as digitalization helps to overcome barriers and move to a new level of business management more easily. With the digitization of data, business methods are also undergoing significant changes. At this stage, many companies have the opportunity to become leaders with minimal costs, just by digitalizing production. The second area of digitalization is digital enterprises. They are created using cloud technologies and operate on the basis of remote work. It is becoming increasingly difficult to survive in the economy if a company is not a digital business. That is why more and more businesses are turning to cloud services.
The main stages of digitalization. With the development of new technologies, each domestic agribusiness entity is going through a gradual digitalization of its own activities. It all starts with the spontaneous digitization of information (stage one), which gradually leads to the formation of a large array of data in the form of BigData. The biggest problem of the second stage is the unsystematized data structure, which becomes impossible to work with at a certain period. Only by moving to the third stage of BigData grouping do Ukrainian agricultural enterprises have a chance to catch up with the latest global trends in technologicalization. Full digital transformation of agribusiness (the fourth stage) is a goal that every agricultural company should strive for. Conducting business exclusively in digital format will allow agricultural enterprises to no longer depend on printed methods of storing information, conduct all business negotiations online and perform any tasks without being tied to the office. The transition to the last stage of digitalization will greatly simplify life and reduce costs, but it cannot be achieved without gradual work on data transformation.
The problem for most Ukrainian agricultural enterprises is that, due to their conservative views, they have been delaying the first stage for a very long time. While companies all over the world have long ago started implementing digitalization, domestic producers are literally stuck in the past, and the only good news is that not all of them are. Among the leading agricultural enterprises in Ukraine are those that use PreAgri, GIS 6 Agro and GIS 6 Web solutions. The systematic and integrated use of these information technologies allows to realize both directions related to digitalization, namely to increase productivity and create a fully digitized enterprise. What do the above-mentioned systems allow for?
The GIS 6 Agro software product consists of several modules that provide functionality for keeping records of land plots, field crop rotation, all types of ownership and use of land plots, and allow you to monitor the validity of lease agreements and exchange information with external solutions. Advanced analytical and search tools allow you to quickly find a site, analyze information and print reports. With the help of this program, the company's costs are reduced and performance indicators are improved at the same time. The product is the first step towards business digitalization.
The next step on the way to business digitalization may be GIS 6 WEB. This version of the program, which allows you to configure the interface for the company's processes, has a slightly simplified functionality compared to GIS 6 Agro, which allows you to quickly master all the features of the solution. Using the web interface for land accounting, GIS 6 Web makes it possible to monitor lease terms, fill in the necessary attributes and control field rotation online. This version also contains the Rest API module for communicating with external solutions and synchronizing information between them.
PreAgri is an online service for advanced planning, control, and analysis of field work that allows you to manage the application of seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides, as well as control fuel and labor consumption. The main features of the program are: data exchange with field equipment, monitoring of the NDVI (vegetation) index, monitoring of the movement of equipment and automatic generation of agricultural reports for the entire land fund of the company. Using this system, the company will be able to apply fertilizers and other materials in the required amount and where it is really needed. Thanks to the service's innovation and the actual digitalization of the business, this solution helps to save on the amount of materials, lead time and resources involved.
Thus, as the results of the work of agricultural enterprises in the PreAgri and GIS 6 Agro systems show, the systematization and grouping of data allows us to reduce the cost of maintaining documentation, facilitate the process of compiling and using information, make work more efficient and profitable, and increase the competitiveness of the enterprise in a short time, which is the main goal of every market player.
