CASE STUDY

Before adopting QuickTrials the company used other software for data collection and analysis. The previous solution worked but was less flexible and required staff and associates to install software on their PC’s which then had to be kept up-to-date.

“ Instead of only seeing the information at the end of the trial, we now track the data as it’s being entered and can follow up anytime its needed. ”

AgCall switched to QuickTrials 3 Years ago and has been using the solution to streamline its trialling operations. Trials are now more standardised and are built to templates and the global trait library. Reports can be generated nightly or whenever needed with considerably less effort. The built-in Anova analysis also provides a fast way to see key characteristics of the collected data at any time.

The ability to capture photos with QuickTrials and have the images automatically linked to the observation records, has been greatly appreciated by staff and associates. Instead of having to transfer and rename hundreds of image files manually, staff can capture as many photos as needed and QuickTrials takes care of everything (Eg. resizing, uploading and linking). This saves time and makes it easier to reference photos later.

The power and flexibility provided by QuickTrials allows AgCall to also streamline some of its other data capture needs, beyond field trials. Today the solution is being used for field trials, site assessments, product inquiries and field audits. QuickTrials is used to capture all this data in the field and upload it centrally, where the structured information is always available and can be analysed any time.

QuickTrials provide a range of benefits for field staff, associates, back-office personnel and customers. AgCall can bring new associates onboard with less training, trial managers have improved transparency and can react earlier, and customers receive trial results faster. All of this helps AgCall to be more responsive and provide the best service to its clients.
