Case Study: Syngenta achieves faster global seed development and improved data collaboration with Benchling

Syngenta & Benchling Driving faster seed and agricultural development at a global scale

Syngenta, a global seeds and agricultural R&D leader with teams in 90+ countries, faced challenges scaling innovation across diverse roles, geographies, and regulatory regimes. Paper records and fragmented practices created bottlenecks and made it hard to standardize data for cross-company analysis while still meeting local needs and complex, shifting regulatory requirements.

Benchling delivered a global data infrastructure with core standardized elements plus codeless, role-specific customization, unique identifiers, real‑time sharing, and a Validated Cloud for secure regulatory evidence. The result: 48% improvement in finding legacy data/protocols, 72% easier data sharing across teams, 79% of users reporting better data quality, 20–50% less time spent on data capture, and faster collaboration and regulatory submissions across 20+ countries.
