Until recently, Syngenta's European sales representatives had to drag a heavy product information catalogue around with them wherever they went, so it was high time to go digital. Mavention implemented the solution in Azure, Microsoft's cloud platform.
The world-leading agribusiness Syngenta develops, produces and sells high-quality market seeds, cuttings, nursery plants and crop protection products. Despite being a forerunner in the field of biotechnology and agrochemicals, its European sales representatives were still using a heavy, unwieldy and eco-unfriendly product catalogue with information that was not always up to date.
The pilot for setting up a product information system was based on Microsoft Azure, an open and flexible cloud platform that provides access to applications and data via a secure connection in 'the cloud'. Syngenta employees can now simply login to their pc, laptop or mobile device and download up-to-date and relevant product information in a language of their choice. The data that is downloaded is also available offline and accessible from any place – even in greenhouses and amidst the crops. The Azure environment is so easy to segment and expand that the platform is now being used in 10 European countries.
