Cooperatives Embrace Digital Customer Service Tools
Tuesday Aug 3rd, 2021
News Reporter It’s time for your Farm of the Future Report. I’m Tim Hammerich.
Agriculture has for the most part always been a handshake type of business. But that doesn’t mean that farmers and their vendors don’t embrace new technologies. These tools can help with communication and efficiency in today’s busy world. Cooperatives like Central Farm Service are adopting online customer portals to help better serve farmers in whatever way works best for them. KC Graner is the senior vice president of agronomy at CFS.
Graner… “We launched a grower portal - AgVend was the provider of that technology - that allows a customer to see his or her account as everything s going on. It allows our sales agronomist to interact much more efficiently, not only with the customer, but with the internal workflow processes that we need to start and finish on the customer s behalf.”
