The 2nd edition of our TechnoHouse on(line) Tour series on 11 March 2021 was all about 'Digital Services'. During the roundtable discussion experts shared how software development and data analytics techniques contribute to improved vegetable varieties and better customer relations.
Digital transformation to optimise services
In a growing market and increasingly digital world, it is becoming ever-more important to gather data. But data is only useful if it can be converted into relevant insights about customer behaviour or the performance of business processes, for instance. At Rijk Zwaan we thrive on complex challenges and love experimenting with and applying new technologies such as design thinking, modern architecture and smart tooling. As a result, our partners can rely on the newest digital services to help them get the very best out of our vegetable seeds. Whether in research, breeding, production, supply or sales, technology supports our company in providing relevant and personal services to our partners and customers worldwide.
