Kroeker Farms
Staying Ahead of the Growth Curve with SAP Business One and ProjectLine
Kroeker Farms is a family owned farm that focuses on growing potatoes and other organics on approximately 9,000 acres. They are moving more and more acres from conventional to ecological harvest so they can use less (irrigation) and grow more (rotation crops). With the support of ProjectLine, Kroeker Farms has built custom applications that build on the core SAP Business One platform to help them farm better and stay ahead of the curve.

Challenges & Opportunities
- Large amounts of data to track, compile and analyze
- Business is becoming more complex
- Access to useful and actionable information is necessary
“We create a lot of data across the farm and we need to tie that all together. Our web app builds on the strength of SAP Business One to help us collect all this data and analyze it.”
Harwin Bouwman, Business Development & InnovationWhy SAP Business One & ProjectLine
