Introduction
Agriculture industry in India has seen a sea change in the past decade, which is mainly attributed to the research & development (R&D) activities being carried out to support the rise of organic and agrochemical products.
A leading life sciences company in India has been working to build a solid foundation for the commercialization of innovative, herbal products and nanotechnology-based agricultural supplies. Through its phenomenal R&D capabilities, the company has invented, developed, and commercialized agricultural products that are completely sustainable, herbal and environment-friendly.
FarmERP worked with the company as its technology pillar, assisting in technologically transforming various business operations across various verticals of the organization.
Challenge
