Agriculture is one of, if not the most important sector within the South African economy. With the world’s growing population, it is imperative that food security be ranked at the highest of any country’s priorities.

The TrueNorth Group is partnering with all stakeholders in the agricultural supply chain and has developed software and analytical platforms that support all of the players. Our partnerships provide crucial software, services and analytics to the producers (farmers) as well as their supporting enterprises.

In the coming weeks, we will showcase a number of our key solutions and how what we do supports the links in the agricultural supply and value chains. Follow us on social media to get insights and more information on these and other solutions.

Working and building data analytics solutions for the Agricultural sector is no different. The industry typically implements best-of-breed solutions rather than expecting a single system to facilitate every process. This in essence creates different data silos for each process negating the possibility of a single data repository. The other challenge is that every data silo exists in a different format – databases, flat files web-based and other platforms is not an uncommon scenario.
