Challenge	AgKnowledge is a cloud-based SaaS solution for medium and small fresh fruit and vegetable producers and distributors. The user portal utilizes InetSoft's Style Intelligence to deliver dashboards and reports, and to provide data models which save time, as they can be reused for different clients. Data is supplied to the solution using various mobile apps, which gather both manually entered data and data collected automatically by sensors on the agricultural and shipping equipment. All client data is stored in an AS/400 multitenant database. The developers at DiD have found InetSoft’s system of logical and physical data models to be a boost of efficiency when creating dashboards for different clients. A cross-platform for all their clients linked to common data models enables the same data models to be reused and modified for various clients, each with their own specific needs. Read More
About Customer	AgKnowledge is an industry-leading, cloud-based Agribusiness SaaS solution for medium and small fresh fruit and vegetable producers and distributors. An exciting new chapter in AgKnowledge history began in May 2018, when DiD Integration, Inc. acquired AgKnowledge Software from TechKnowledge Associates, Inc., the original developers of AgKnowledge. DiD has partnered with TechKnowledge since 2004 to bring AgKnowledge into the cloud, and since the acquisition continues to update and improve the AgKnowledge model. Read More
Solution	While some AgKnowledge clients are happy with simple reports that that allow them to filter and export raw data, AgKnowledge's more involved clients enjoy learning how to build their own agribusiness dashboards. This hands-on approach is enabled by the InetSoft data worksheet interface. Specific data needs and levels of involvement vary greatly from client to client. For example, for some reports a client will not care about data older than the past 365 days, whereas for other reports, the same client will need to see data for a several year period. Sometimes they want to see harvest data for all their facilities, and other times they want to focus a report on specific warehouses. InetSoft’s flexible data transformation interface makes it easy to accommodate each client’s individual needs and preferences. Read More Log in to view content

About Customer

AgKnowledge is an industry-leading, cloud-based Agribusiness SaaS solution for medium and small fresh fruit and vegetable producers and distributors. An exciting new chapter in AgKnowledge history began in May 2018, when DiD Integration, Inc. acquired AgKnowledge Software from TechKnowledge Associates, Inc., the original developers of AgKnowledge.

Solution

While some AgKnowledge clients are happy with simple reports that that allow them to filter and export raw data, AgKnowledge's more involved clients enjoy learning how to build their own agribusiness dashboards. This hands-on approach is enabled by the InetSoft data worksheet interface. Specific data needs and levels of involvement vary greatly from client to client. For example, for some reports a client will not care about data older than the past 365 days, whereas for other reports, the same client will need to see data for a several year period. Sometimes they want to see harvest data for all their facilities, and other times they want to focus a report on specific warehouses. InetSoft’s flexible data transformation interface makes it easy to accommodate each client’s individual needs and preferences.

Impact #1	Data tables in the Agknowledge database often have a number of fields that can be overwhelming to less involved clients, with names that are not highly intuitive. DiD developers rectify this issue by creating data worksheets that include only the columns that the client will want to use, and then assigning descriptive column names that are easy to understand.
Impact #2	Another feature that DiD developers have used extensively is the ability to schedule reports or tasks, have them run autonomously, and export the results via email. This automation is a big time saver for AgKnowledge clients who rely on regular reports to track their production in real time.
Impact #3	Some clients have schedules that run overnight, using InetSoft’s proprietary data grid cache to build a cache of relevant data for reports and dashboards that run on the following day.
