Samsung Galaxy Tabs, Knox Configure Dynamic and FDRVC build a digital collection centre for agri-producers
Feb 02. 2022Challenges
- Recording data on produce quality and procurements at Commodities Collection Centres (CCC) came with the challenge of paperwork and scope of errors
- Development of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) app created digital CCCs, however, manual installation of ERP on tablets was time-consuming
- FDRVC lacked enterprise-ready tablets to fulfil business-essential ERP functions like capturing moisture and weight of the produce
- Re-branding or custom interfaces compromised the warranty conditions of the devices
Solution
- Over 500 Galaxy Tab A devices with Knox Configure Dynamic (KCD) customised ERP app to efficiently support data collection
- KCD enabled seamless over-the-air installation of the app and its updates and multi-app kiosk mode restricted third-party app usage
- Bluetooth v 5.0 connectivity of tablets with the sensors of moisture monitoring machines and weighing scales, facilitated automated data fetching
- KCD supported FDRVC rebranding such as logos, wallpaper, interface customisation, without tampering the device warranty
Result
Enterprise-ready tablets with KCD built an error-free, cost-efficient, and time-saving digital CCC for ERP to optimally function in.The business achieved accuracy in data collection that aided producer enterprises in better pre-emption of costs and produce estimates. Over-the-air installation of ERP through KCD, created a secured, automated environment for the app to function without any interruptions. Samsung became a prominent partner in FDRVC’s vision to enable rural value chains and lead in developing an organised rural economy in India.
