Mobile Apps for Grove Activity Planning in Citrus Operations
San Miguel replaced manual grove task logging with a mobile app built on SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS, enabling real-time activity tracking and faster planning adjustments.
The case study describes how Argentinian citrus producer San Miguel deployed a field activity planning application for 7,500 seasonal grove workers. The app, developed with SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS and integrated with SAP Business Suite on HANA, replaced paper-based task logging with on-site data capture. Real-time synchronization improved schedule adherence, reduced planning time from four hours to 30 minutes, and gave managers immediate visibility into task completion across multiple countries.
