Case Study: Leading Agriculture Cooperative Firm boosts user base by 500% with Persistent Systems' re-platformed legacy solution

Leading agriculture cooperative firm increases user base by 500% with re-platformed legacy system and mobility solution

Leading Agriculture Cooperative Firm, a farmer-owned cooperative in the United States, partnered with Persistent Systems to address multiple disparate legacy systems that made data management difficult and error-prone. The cooperative needed to streamline registration, improve management of customer accounts, provide real-time visibility into harvesting status, and give farmers remote access to multiple accounts under one registration.

Persistent Systems implemented a single hub application using OutSystems to unify access to agronomy, animal nutrition, and grain activities. The vendor delivered the initial web solution in 12 weeks and then built a mobile app in just 4–5 days with chat, map, and voice features. The result was a 500% increase in user base, $900K in cost savings over 1.5 years, and a 60% improvement in productivity.
