Benefits of Digital Technology in Agricultural Business

Agricultural businesses, from large-scale farming operations to single-location greenhouses, face many challenges. One of the biggest is failing to modernize by incorporating helpful technologies that improve efficiencies, increase productivity, and offer cost savings. One of the simplest ways to help agricultural businesses take a giant leap forward is fuelling growth by going digital and incorporating helpful online tools available through companies like McDougall Energy.

“Small changes can have a big impact on agricultural business,” said Colin Bletsoe, Territory Manager with McDougall Energy. “By offering the right digital tools and online products, McDougall Energy helps support agricultural businesses year-round.”

According to Bletsoe, high-quality fuel and lubricants are two essential products that are vital to keeping agricultural businesses running smoothly and equipment operating at maximum efficiency. To help customers with their fuel and equipment needs, McDougall Energy offers a variety of services exclusively designed to help bring agricultural businesses into the digital age. These include online fuel and lubricant ordering, digital invoicing, geo-tracked deliveries featuring real-time comprehensive information, and various fleet-management capabilities.

All these tools are available through McDougall Energy’s myAccount customer portal. This powerful and secure business tool helps agricultural operations understand and optimize spending on fuels, lubricants, and speciality fluids. It’s an exceptionally comprehensive digital platform that Bletsoe said can be quickly and easily incorporated into the operations of any agricultural business to deliver great results.

“By capturing every detail about your product usage and making this data easy to access and analyze, myAccount helps businesses spot trends, identify improvement opportunities and ultimately improve profitability.”

Best of all, it’s available to customers 24/7, so it can be accessed any time to make it easier to use for agricultural business owners with busy schedules.”
