Case Study: Ruaan Du Plessis (IK Caldwell agronomist) achieves greater efficiency and transparency with Agworld

Improving an agronomist’s efficiency and transparency

Ruaan Du Plessis, an agronomist with IK Caldwell in Shepparton, VIC, faced growing demands from larger orchards and export-driven biosecurity rules that required tighter crop monitoring, traceability and clearer communication with growers. To meet these challenges he adopted the Agworld platform to improve data accessibility, reporting and transparency across his consulting activities.

Using Agworld, Ruaan and his IK Caldwell colleagues standardized scouting reports, recommendations and maps, and instantly shared them with growers, merchandise managers and contractors. Agworld enabled Ruaan to oversee more hectares without losing control, speed up corrective actions to stay within quarantine tolerances, reduce communication errors and provide permanent digital records for compliance, insurance and export certification.
