As a top Microsoft Partner, ProArch knows firsthand how powerful the Azure cloud platform can be in bringing new solutions to life. ProArch’s team knew Dataware Data Platform would solve the complex challenges the company faced, from “farm to fork.”
Initially, ProArch digitized data capture, first using web-based data input forms and then building data APIs to reduce the effort required from the participants in the supply chain. These APIs allow those contributing data to expedite filling out 100-question forms and share all the required data with the company.
Now, the company uses a hybrid approach and can prefill forms with data they source. That way, when a processor or retailer in the chain uses the software, providing their data is an easier and more intuitive experience, only requiring them to validate existing and AI-sourced data, and filling in any data gaps. As the platform grows, so does the data integration API and AI capability, continually reducing the amount of data required from each provider and speeding up the process.
Using Microsoft Azure to collect and store this data, the next stage in the process involved an AI strategy to analyze and present the data. This is key to enabling the company to perform the crucial calculations required and understand the insights the data provides.
One might think such a large undertaking would take months to prepare for, let alone undertake. After all, storage, security, data transport, and web hosting are all crucial for supporting large initiatives like this. But ProArch’s platform got the process running right away— securely and efficiently.
What would have taken months of effort and resources was implemented in just one day.
