CBH Group Selects SolveIT Software for Quality Optimisation
ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, 8 March 2011 - SolveIT Software Pty Ltd, a leading provider of enterprise software for supply & demand optimisation and predictive modelling, announced today that it has signed a contract with CBH Group for quality optimisation of grain loads.
The objective of the project is to provide additional value to CBH growers through a quality optimisation system that gives growers greater control over marketing their grain quality, while enhancing the consistency of grain quality outturned to marketers. Although it is relatively simple to calculate a weighted average quality for any grower who delivered to CBH at the completion of harvest, growers would benefit from live calculations during harvest that allow for offsetting individual loads not meeting a certain receive standard against a quality bank of loads within the receive standards. This will allow a grower to improve the grading of one load against another load.
"Our growers spend an enormous amount of time physically blending grain on farm, the Quality Optimisation system is all about giving control and flexibility to our growers so that they can virtually perform this blending function, we, along with SolveIT are providing them the tools they need to optimally perform this virtual function," said Mr Mathew Regan, Grain Quality Manager, CBH Group. "We believe that SolveIT's platform is most suited to providing fast and accurate results to enhance our grower members."
