Empowering Decisions

I recently had the pleasure of meeting John Gray from The-Spot, and I was pleasantly surprised by what The-Spot offers in terms of dashboards for overseeing pack house operations. I can’t help but wish our paths had crossed a few years ago, as it would have made my life much easier. Not only does using the dashboard save me time and money, but John and his team’s exceptional knowledge of pack house operations also make it easy to communicate additional requirements as needed. I wholeheartedly recommend their products and services to anyone serious about obtaining accurate and timely information from a live database.

With John Gray’s years of experience in the fruit industry, especially systems, his transparency and knowledge regarding systems was impressive from day one we’ve met. His presentation of process flows and practical workshops gave each user the clarity of his or her role in the department in the business. The Dashboard he developed for us does a fantastic job of combining power analytics with a user friendly user interface and remarkable data visualization capabilities. The integration of any system with its dashboards is a smooth process that I can recommend for any business, especially in the fruit industry. The key areas of any business specifically production driven businesses that lead to success are productivity, effectiveness and transparency. The-Spot provides that service for Quattro Citrus and I hope we can build on the relationship every year.

John’s deep experience of the South African fruit industry and understanding of how technology can deliver significantly better operational performance for growers, packhouses, and exporters is truly impressive. He has a rare ability to understand the challenges produce businesses are facing and develop practical solutions that can quickly deliver real value. At Virifides Digital, we have been fortunate to work with John for a number of years now and are proud to be a partner to The SPOT in providing innovative solutions to the market

John ek is baie tevrede met die funksie wat die “dashboard” bied naamlik: ’n Vinnige oorsig oor die Paltrack informasie sonder om self in Paltrack verslae te trek. Die uitleg is gemaklik om te lees en met die selekteer funksies is dit gerieflik om data te sorteer en vinnig tekry waarna jy soek. Mens moet net ingedagte hou dat die inligting nie die heeltyd lewendig is nie en dat daar soms inligting is wat nog nie deurgetrek het nie.
Ek is tevrede met die stelsel en sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

Die HORTGRO Info span is baie opgewonde om van nuusbrief e-posse oor te skakel na “dashboards” vir die rapportering van ons data en inligting.Ons was spesifiek opsoek na ‘n meer interaktiewe manier om die data aan te bied en dit is presies wat John en die span by The-Spot gebied het.Data en veral data in Landbou is van kardinale belang en The-Spot verstaan die behoefte en waarde van intydse inligting.Hulle het op alle vlakke van dienslewering ons verwagtinge oortref. Saam met The-Spot sal HORTGRO van krag-tot-krag gaan. Ons sien uit na wat die toekoms van data-kommunikasie gaan bied. 

What a great experience working with The SPOT! John and his team made Power BI training and our dashboard optimisation project seamless with their deep industry knowledge and practical, straight forward approach. The training was clear and insightful. The optimisation project was executed quickly and professionally. Huge thanks to Ruvoune for going the extra mile with our reports! Highly recommend The SPOT and we’ll most certainly work with them again in the future.
