grower have a lot on their minds , and sometimes it can be hard to keep track of every undivided matter . fortuitously , in this geezerhood of engineering , more and more solutions to assist growers with their daily problem bulge out up every twenty-four hours . One of those solutions has been developed by RedBud . In this article , they explicate more about their software system – aimed at culture , pest management , and task management – and how it benefit cultivator .
By growers for growersMany citizenry find technology unmanageable : it take 2 hour of reading manuals before you read the basics , it has too many clit , or , most frustratingly of all , it does everything except what you postulate it to do . That , however , is not the slip with RedBud ’s system , as Tushar Kulkarmi , CEO of RedBud , tells us . “ Our shibboleth is ‘ By agriculturalist for raiser ’ , and that is exactly what our system of rules reflects . Our company was found by Joan Leonard , a raiser herself , and it take off because of a painfulness point most growers experience : most of the software system in the market simply is not refinement favorable . That is why ours is an soft , accessible , and user - intuitive system ; a grower figure the problems , and a agriculturist countersink out to work out those problems . ”
As Kevin Burns , Director of Customer Success , tells us , user feedback is at the basis of the company ’s achiever : “ We constantly get feedback from our current user , and we always take heed to that . Our principal end is mind to the userbase and implementing everything they say – if it makes sense , of course . When you look at it like that , you could say that our customers are more of a niggling community of growers who make for new ideas that profit everyone , as our updates typically take weeks , not months , and thus new feature are rolled out quickly for everyone to use . ”
Tushar and Kevin admit that they sometimes face some resistance , specially when the owner of companies prefer to do things ‘ old - school day ’ : “ They think , ‘ I know how to mature my plant , I do n’t involve software to roll up this data ’ . However , we are not trying to tell them what to do – far from it . We attempt to help them collect data point to make more informed determination move forwards . ”
A thumb up from usersDuring the interview , it was clear how gallant Tushar and Kevin are of the positive feedback they have receive from their users . One model they give is of a 5th - generation farmer in Ohio who used and compare many different type of software and epitome . “ He said our computer software is very user - friendly , and it really feels like it was developed by a grower , ” Tushar gladly contribution .
In fact , it seems that it is not just existing greenhouse growers who appreciate the system . Kevin tells us that they were approached by a few companies that had not even work up their glasshouse yet . “ They were using our engineering science to serve find out how they were going to set things up , and what kind of data they were run low to start collect when they started rise . mass have ensure the benefits of the system before they even started . ”
Something the RedBud company prides itself on , and something the users greatly appreciate , is its personal interaction with customers : “ Something I think separate us from other companies is our onboarding outgrowth ; we do n’t just accuse growers , deliver our system , and lease them figure it all out by themselves . We abide in contact with our customers , show them how to use features they have n’t discovered yet or merely blank out about , and offer them general support . We do webinars and releases to support them , and we ’re very hand - on . We are not a monolithic conglomerate ; all our interaction are personal . We chance that highly important , particularly as feedback from users is part of the success of the company , ” Kevin concludes .
