Agro Business System
Agro Business System (ABS) is the logistic
software system for seed companies. ABS covers all
operational and management activities in the
organization. The system has been designed to manage
each seed batch as unique objects. This puts ABS ahead
of all of its competitors and makes it a perfect match
for the industry. The flexible configuration
possibilities of the system, caters for the needs of
small, as well as large and complex companies. With
support for use in multiple plants and subsidiaries,
consolidation of all important information is easy and
allows for an accurate enterprise overview.
Mobile solutions, documents reports and
analysis tools
We have mobile solutions available for
field inspections, inventory and quality. Results can be
entered using the mobile solutions, to avoid errors in
data-entry. Logistic documents, like packing lists,
invoices, batch and sample labels are printed directly
out of the system. 50 standard reports are available,
but of course you can create your own reports as well
using the SQL reporting tool. And last but not least we
developed various analysis tools to manage your seed
business.
ABS is composed of modules covering:
Logistic Planning
In ABS the logistic planning is an up to date,
consolidated planning that combines sales information
(forecast, orderplan, orders and shipments), inventory,
production and purchase to calculate the required
quantities of a variety to produce.
Production
The production module is specifically designed to manage
the process of multiplication of the seeds. The
administrative activities in the office are integrated
with the activities in the field that monitor the growth
of the crop. It includes the inventory management of the
stockseed.
Inventory
The inventory management has been specifically designed
to handle seed. It starts with the production of a
field. When the first harvest comes in, a lot number of
the production field and a unique batch number are
assigned. The lot number will never change and groups
all batches from a field together.
Processing
The processing of seed is a very specific type of
primary process. It is a mix of splitting and merging of
batches of seed, which can occur at every step in the
total process flow. The route a product takes is
dependent on the quality specifications and origin of
the batch of seed. The processing planning is designed
to have the flexibility that is required for managing
the routing of a product, while a strict quality
protocol can still be maintained.
Warehouse
Controls the physical inventory. Batches can be stored
at multiple locations and can also be spread over
different plants.
Quality & Laboratory
Includes all the operational quality activities for
handling the samples coming from inventory or processing
activities. The process of testing these samples in a
laboratory environment and processing the results to get
the proper quality figures is completely automated.
Marketing / Sales
ABS offers the possibility to map a defined market per
area, crop, crop type and customer group. This marketing
planning module allows each sales organization to define
the market position of all their varieties in the
different market segments.
Forecasts and Sales orders are connected to the market
planning.
Relation
management
The relations are, just as the products, entered only
once in ABS and are then available for the all
companies. The CRM screen gives a complete overview of
historic and actual sales and the financial status of
the customers.
