How Corteva leverages multimodal real-time visibility to improve its time-to-market and provides Amazon-like experience to its customers

Corteva is a global pure-play agriculture company that provides farmers around the world with diverse seeds and crop protection. It currently operates in roughly 140 countries and its revenue is above US $17 billion worldwide in 2022.

As a seasonal activity, time to market is key in the agriculture industry. With a puzzled logistics landscape and many stakeholders involved, Corteva logistics team was encountering great difficulties to get unified visibility and provide easy updates to its customers. Finding a simple, yet comprehensive solution to track and get predictivity on different transport types to know where they could expect their seeds to be with high reliability was key.
