"With Agriplace, we finally simplified and digitised the management of supplier documentation: an intuitive portal with competent and always available support. The information is always up-to-date and easy to consult."– Valentina Pelosi, Quality Assurance Manager at L’Insalata dell’orto srl
The Challenge: Drowning in Documentation
For three generations, L’Insalata dell’orto has been cultivating excellence in the vegetable industry. This Italian family business has grown from a local producer to become a global supplier, producing, processing, packaging and distributing high-quality vegetables throughout Italy and beyond.
But with growth comes complexity. Like many food businesses today, L'Insalata dell’orto found themselves drowning in the increase in administrative requirements. Their processes were largely manual and they began looking for a solution for managing all their requirements.
With a large supplier network comes a huge volume of documentation. L'Insalata dell’orto simply couldn’t keep up with the sheer number of documents requiring updates and the constant stream of supplier requests. `they were spending valuable time on administrative tasks rather than focusing on what they do best – growing and delivering quality vegetables. This led them to look for a solution that could help with supplier registration, managing document updates and expiry tracking.
Before Agriplace
L'Insalata dell’orto was struggling with their document management. The Quality Assurance team were constantly checking their master Excel file for deadlines, manually contacting each supplier by email when documents were approaching expiry, and dealing with the inevitable back-and-forth that followed. The frustration was mounting across teams, and it was clear that their manual approach simply wasn’t scalable.
The solution
When L'Insalata dell’orto heard about Agriplace from one of their suppliers, it immediately caught their attention. L'Insalata dell’orto recognised the Agriplace platform because they had previously handled some requests through it with their suppliers. They have a large amount of suppliers, who all use different platforms and they noted that Agriplace was by far the simplest, most intuitive and clearest one they had encountered.
Despite the significant volume of data that needed to be transferred, L'Insalata dell'orto's adoption of Agriplace was remarkably smooth. The platform’s tools, including the AI Document Scanner made the process of uploading documents much easier and quicker. The team at L'Insalata dell’orto was quickly up and running, immediately beginning to automate their document management process.
