The AgriChain`s development team, which creates the same-name agribusiness management portal, first put into the business logic of its product the possibility of passing a full production cycle. The full cycle – from the idea of starting the production season to getting structured, convenient, and informative reports for decision-makers in the company, whose purpose – is the success of the business.
In modern realities, it is impossible to build a strong it-product from “zero”, without using the best world practices and integration with existing solutions from market leaders. Analyzing popular BI solutions, developers stopped on Qlik products from QlikTech – founded in 1993 in Sweden. Today it is the world leader in its segment with a capitalization of $ 1,5 billion. The headquarters is located in Radnor, Pennsylvania, USA. QlikTech is the official Fortune 500 analytical partner and serves more than 50 thousand customers worldwide.
The main resource for agribusiness is land. Therefore, the first analytical direction of the AgriChain team was the reports on the consolidation of the land bank and the business report designer.
The report on the consolidation of the land bank included four directions for analysis:
- Area in rent;
- Area of rent taking into account the exchange;
- Area in rent in the contour of the field;
- The area in the field contour takes into account the exchange.
After selecting the required period, for which there is a need to analyze data, the manager in a few seconds gets all the necessary calculations, on the basis of which it is easy to build histograms for visual analysis and to identify possible deviations, which should be paid attention first.
The team of developers of AgriChain based on the tools Qlik built a convenient in-use report designer according to the data of the land bank of the agrocompany.
Using the set of prepared calculations in the system on production subdivisions, type of land, cadastral numbers of the site, and documents on the land, the specialist works with the analysis of data in a few seconds and can form a report with a visual component.
Working with large data, using old methods of analysis, in some cases, it may take weeks to identify errors, inaccuracies, or violations of internal business regulations. By using a BI system, you can light abnormal deviations in minutes.
