Background

Ever.Ag is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software provider to agricultural and food supply chains. They specialize in providing innovative AgTech solutions that empower supply chains to meet rising global demands. With 30 years of industry leading solutions, Ever.Ag serves 200,000+ farms in 3,000+ customer locations. Their portfolio of cutting-edge technology, financial services, and market intelligence solutions provides customers and affiliated Industries with the insights and tools they need to thrive.

Use Case

Many of Ever.Ag’s customers send their data in spreadsheet format, each with their own unique structure. Without any other solution, the company’s data team must manually extract and write this data into their SQL database. This process consumes valuable time and resources and puts unnecessary pressure on an already busy data team.

 

Ever.Ag needed a streamlined process for importing customer data and efficiently storing it in their SQL database. This new system had to be flexible and scalable, to accommodate the continuous influx of new customers and their proprietary data formats. The company required a user-friendly solution that they could readily utilize whenever they received data from a specific customer. Given that this task was a small but time-consuming aspect of their overall operations, the solution had to be unobtrusive and seamlessly integrated into their existing workflow.

Enter Astera

Ever.Ag conducted a thorough evaluation of available products on the market and ultimately selected Astera due to its user-friendly interface that enabled them to swiftly map customers’ fields to their own document fields. Astera’s static lookup functionality also proved invaluable in efficiently translating customer-specific codes.

 

With Astera, integrating data from existing customers became a breeze. Ever.Ag’s employees simply launch Astera and access the corresponding transfer setting for the specific customer file format. Creating a new transfer setting takes mere minutes and can be saved for future use
