Rijk Zwaan
Enhancing Project Visibility & Streamlining Resource Allocation in the Vegetable Breeding Industry
"Now we have one unique tool that integrates time and project reporting, project planning and resource management. We have improved project visibility and collaboration now that all project leaders have access to the project information."
Challenge
Gaining enhanced visibility into project data, with a particular emphasis on identifying and managing delays.
Solution
Rijk Zwaan implemented Cerri Project to address project visibility challenges, leading to time savings and streamlined processes.
The Customer
Rijk Zwaan stands as a global frontrunner in vegetable breeding. Based in the Netherlands, they focus on developing and supplying seeds for both indoor and outdoor commercial cultivation. Rijk Zwaan ranks among the world's top 10 vegetable breeding companies.
The Challenge
Within the IT department, a significant challenge emerged related to the management of project data. The existing system exhibited a lack of integration, with multiple tools being employed simultaneously but without a unified project management solution. This fragmented approach created difficulties in overseeing projects and obscured the understanding of how different projects were interconnected.
The Solution
Opting for Cerri Project, Rijk Zwaan found a robust solution with a track record of efficacy. Their long-standing use of Lotus Notes made it essential to choose a solution built on the same technology to optimize their investments.
The Results
After implementing Cerri Project, Rijk Zwaan realized a transformation in their project management approach. The centralized system improved time reporting, resource management, and project planning, providing comprehensive visibility across projects.
