About The Client
They are a family-owned food crop grower, situated in Williams, California. They specialize in cultivating almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and rice, thereby satisfying the food supply needs of both regional and national markets.
The problem
Uncertain Operations and Disconnected Growers
The client lacked a centralized, real-time view of their critical growers’ data, which led to inefficient management and tracking of their grower contracts, field operations, and yield estimations.
Tracking of growers’ contract statuses (active, pending review, declined, voided) across numerous fields and acres was manual and time-consuming.
Lack of visibility into field operations (total acres by status and county, and progress of yield estimations) hindered decision-making.
Less focus on core farming activities due to the valuable time spent on compiling manual insights.
Growers lacked direct access to their contact and yield data, widening transparency gaps and halting collaborative opportunities.
Our Solution
A Comprehensive Power BI Grower Portal Dashboard
Folio3 designed and implemented a Power BI-based Grower Portal Dashboard. This provided an interactive and real-time visibility into growers’ operations and their contracts. The key features of the solution include:
Strategic Optimization of Existing Reports
We deeply analyzed Savills’ existing reporting infrastructure to highlight bottlenecks and refine reporting logic for maximized performance and data accuracy.
Interactive Widgets for Deep Insights
Tracking of subcontracts by status, field operations, and crop acreage. Real-time yield estimates compare against historical data, and county-level acreage changes highlight trends over time.
Dynamic Filtering Capabilities
Global filters for Crop Year, Division (VFO, YHS), and individual growers enable users to tailor their data views instantly.
Intuitive Drill-Down Functionality
Any segment within a chart is clickable, which highlights detailed lists of contracts, growers, fields, varieties, and acres in a tabular format, along with downloadable option.
Role-Based Access
The designed permission matrix enhances security. The categorized users are granted access based on their roles and assigned growers.
