Schoneveld Breeding is a breeder and propagator of flowering plant seeds.  "Our renewed automation must ensure that all our processes are better aligned and that cross-fertilization takes place between them through better data analysis. We are running more and more crops and the company is growing. So IT has to grow with it."

Insightful planning

Schoneveld Breeding sought more transparent planning processes. With Agriware integrating more data, basic planning is now significantly automated. This is crucial given the complexity of hybrid seed production, which involves lengthy cultivation periods. Modules for seed planting, production, sales, finance, and time recording have been launched. This integration allows for comprehensive linking of data from forecasting, production, seed inventory, and sales.

"This is excellent," they note, "as our production planning is fundamentally based on forecasts, seed stock, and sales outcomes. Additionally, timekeeping data provides insight into the hourly requirements of specific activities and batches."

Expertise in horticulture

"We chose Mprise Agriware because their ERP software is specifically designed for greenhouse operations," they explained. "This allowed us to acquire a package that met our needs at a reasonable price. The team at Mprise has a deep understanding of horticulture.

Naturally, we encountered some challenges along the way. There were times when I had to sound the alarm, but the response was always prompt and effective. We also realized the need for more comprehensive reporting tools than initially anticipated.

However, by the end of the process, I can affirm that Mprise Agriware effectively collaborated with us, resulting in software that our staff are already pleased with. We believe it will bring significant added value."
