An agricultural organization based in Brazil, required the support of RGIS. The corporation supplies agricultural products and services and employs approximately 1,700 staff, with more than 6,000 members. It operates in the grain storage segments such as corn, soy, peanuts and others. It also has supermarkets, gas stations, fuel distributors, insurance companies, hardware stores and department stores.
THE CHALLENGE
The agricultural organization had no solution to carry out inventories of their products with any reliability. With large volumes, any loss or deviation meant very large losses. The company needed bespoke technology to complete inventories of large volumes of products stored in silos and large warehouses, so required RGIS to provide the following:
- Conduct an inventory of all products across four locations in Brazil
- Complete a topographic inventory on the following products:
- Bulk products in 6 silos including corn, soy and wheat
- Bulk products in 18 warehouses including peanuts and sugar
- Products stored in bags including peanuts, rice and beans
- Complete the inventory efficiently and in a timely manner
