AQM and Grampian Country Pork approached Orchid to build a Website and Extranet that would bring together the Farmer and the Processor. Orchid’s experience in producing database applications for the Livestock industry and Orchid’s track record in web solutions made Orchid the obvious choice.
The Website is designed to provide farmers with real-time graphs and statistics which relate to the product they supply. This has never been done before and farmers have always had to telephone and obtain the information verbally, making it difficult for them to tune their business.
The piginfo website has a ‘back-end’ administration system that allows the data to be loaded daily. The data is imported and then made instantly available for graphs and reports. A sophisticated graphing module turns pages of data into easy-to-read graphs that are generated on the fly. A password protection system restricts access to the site.
There are also several pages of online information that are available to the farmer, once they have logged in.
Daniel Day of AQM said:
Orchid
have produced a system that will provide real benefits to the way we do
business. It is an excellent example of how the Internet should be used,
providing instant information to a geographically dispersed community.
