Case Study

Intelligent Knowledge Management for Livestock Sales

Banking
The global livestock industry is now estimated to be worth ~ $450B. This is up from ~$350B in 2020. The industry is expected to top $700B by 2030. This growth has presented new challenges for the industry as companies struggle to cope with increased volumes of transactions, market disparities, and pricing volatility. The continued reliance on legacy, non-digitized, information management solutions has exacerbated the problem.

Optimizing organizational knowledge to maximize business outcomes

Current Challenge

Common Problems Faced by Enterprises

Many existing information management solutions were deployed to support livestock industry conditions that existed two or three decades ago. Those solutions tend to be more analog in nature, inflexible in design, and self-limiting in capability. These shortcomings create several operational and business disadvantages.

01

Inefficient knowledge retrieval

Slow access to stored knowledge results in missed opportunities and/or non-optimal actions.

02

Inability to automatically segment data by region

Creates additional work burdens and increases potential for errors in regional business assessments.

03

Loss of tacit knowledge due to employee turnover

often results in permanent loss of critical information.

04

Manually activated processes

rely on human touch points that are prone to error and inefficient in execution.

05

Lack of natural language processing (NLP) capabilities

restricts the ability to analyze large volumes of textual data to glean valuable insights into customer and market trends.
