Adifo SoftwareAdifo Software has been an
active member of the feed
industry for over 40 years,
supporting feed and petfood
producers and traders in their business-critical processes. Through
the BESTMIX® suite Adifo software covers the core processes: Feed
formulation, Quality Control and ration calculation. This software can be
seamlessly integrated with Adifo’s in-house developed ERP modules
– MILAS® AX – to ensure core processes are perfectly aligned with
logistical and financial processes (such as stock control, purchase,
contract handling, invoicing, etc.)
Data and analytics improve decision making
Over the past 15 years, the feed industry has collected a lot of data
- more data than they’ve been able to use. With recent updates
to BESTMIX formulation software this data is utilised to help feed
manufacturers make smarter decisions and stay competitive. Feed
manufacturers can now import and share data and use it to compare
the costs of feed ingredients or to search for the best ingredients to
improve animal performance.
The data is stored in one central database, thus limiting the

number of times data is put in. Errors are minimized. Because the
database is easily accessible, users, whether they are nutritionists or
product purchasers, are able to reference it on a daily basis to improve
management and make smart business decisions.
Cloud technology enhances local, global collaboration
A growing demand by the industry is the ability to share information
quickly and easily throughout a company and with customers. Cloud
technology makes this possible.
“A lot of our customers want to have portals for better customer
service,” says Adifo presales consultant Lynn Verstrepen. “This allows
requested information, like a lab sample, to be handed in through a
portal versus sending an email or manually writing the results.”
The software takes into account the large amount of consolidation
in the feed industry over the past decades. Feed manufactures can
import and share data and analytics in different languages, and
compare prices in a variety of currencies. This improves purchasing
options for the feed mill, and provides the customer with the best
service available.

Predicting Customer Demand, is that really possible?
With increasing pressure on both production and transport demands
in addition to the rising level of customer service expectations, Cultura
The need for a niche reliable software solution in the Grain, Mill and
Animal Feed Industry has never been more important. This was
identified by CORE Technologies through their flagship product
COREMill. Last year saw CORE acquired by Cultura Technologies,
who are a multinational software powerhouse. This has strengthened
the global position and hands on expertise of CORE in the Dairy, Retail,
Grain and Mill Sectors.
COREMill is a complete suite of business applications which
may have the solution you need to help improve business efficiency
and differentiate you from the competition.
The proactive approach
Why wait for the customer to contact you?
For some a simple diary appointment is sufficient, but for others
having the means to calculate an expected next order requirement can
help focus the effort, rather than simply making another routine call.
Improve efficiency and enhance customer service levels
Cultura software and business solutions offer both features, from simple
recurring diary appointment and call reminders, to analysis of past
and current orders, providing an average daily or weekly consumption
calculation to forecast and schedule next order dates. This streamlined
process therefore helps to identify potential future order requirements
and highlights any possible overdue orders providing an opportunity
to call to action.
A wide range of functions enable both office based or remote users
to effectively manage their own allocated customer accounts by looking
at specific forecast date ranges, product types, locations etc. A fully
interactive screen allows the user to work through a list of potential calls,
placing new orders directly if required, or expanding into the full customer
account management application, if the conversation with the customer
expands into other areas. The same interface offers the ability to send
text messages or emails to the customer, capture notes on conversations
and set personal reminders, or call back dates and times.
Office based or out in the field, Cultura solutions have it covered
24/7.
Cultura offer a range of agribusiness solutions, and provides the sales
person with real-time customer data together with options to capture
notes and place orders.

CORE Technology has established a market leading position in the
development of agri specific apps. Each one developed and designed
to maximise productivity and facilitate mobile working.
From extensive industry experience and working in partnership
with customers CORE have developed an app for mill, grain and agri
trading sales reps to take sales orders. The key feature with their Sales
Order App is that it allows your sales reps to work offline. This ability
to process sales orders offline allows the organisations sales team to
work more proficiently and efficiently.
Rural Ireland has a significant broadband and mobile connectivity
problem, however COREs solution is convenient and effective to the
agri trade sales person. CORE’s statistics show that their current client
base are experiencing up to 40% of orders coming from offline mobile
sales orders.
The app itself is user friendly and is quickly configured for each
sales rep. The rep themselves will then have their own unique ID and
a set of data. The main CORE system backs up the app ensuring quick
response times from the app, it will then hold the order and automatically
send it to the office once network coverage is regained.
CORE recognise the need for security of data. It has been
designed to work solely with Windows and Apple phones as they are
deemed to be the most secure. It has been put through a high level of
testing to pass security requirements for the Windows/iPhone stores
in all elements of data management and ease of use.
