This online application allows Monsanto and its clients to manage their winter seed production. Users can access and manage their account information securely online at any time.
Monsanto previously used massive spreadsheets to collect data for clients and to generate reports. These spreadsheets required all employees to be in their office to access information. This did not provide an optimal solution for their staff as they and their clients wished to have access to this information anytime and anywhere they wished. We worked with Monsanto to learn how their business operated and created a secure online application to streamline their production/sales teams. This application more importantly provided a new method for clients to access their account information without having to call a sales representative.
