NYSE, TSX: NTR
LOVELAND, CO, April 23, 2018 /CNW/ - Nutrien Ltd. (Nutrien)'s
retail division – soon to be rebranded as Nutrien Ag
Solutions™ – today announced the launch of a new
digital platform designed to augment its industry-leading
distribution network, agronomic advice and services. The
platform will provide growers with an easy to use, personalized
all-in-one customer experience.
As the world's premier provider of crop inputs, services and
solutions, Nutrien Ag Solutions' digital platform will initially be
available across North America and
will serve as an integrated hub for helping customers more
effectively manage their unique agronomic and business needs.
The platform will be integrated with the Echelon precision ag
capabilities, enabling customers to interact with agronomists and
field service representatives seamlessly providing solutions that
optimize growers' yields and financial results.
"Our new customer portal creates the only omni-channel network
across North American agriculture. This launch will pave the way in
the industry to allow growers to engage with us in multiple ways,"
said Mike Frank, President of
Nutrien Retail. "This customer experience hub will be a one-stop
solution and allow us to set a new level of experience for growers,
empowering them to make the best business decisions possible."
Having invested a significant amount of resources over the past
year, Nutrien will officially roll out the platform beginning in
July 2018 and continue in phases into
mid-2019. The digital hub's initial offerings will focus on making
Nutrien even easier to do business with and, over time will include
digital agronomy services to provide data-driven advice and
e-commerce capabilities to seamlessly plan, order and receive an
unparalleled offering of products and services. These key offerings
will be incorporated into a centralized customer experience hub, so
growers can also manage accounts, services, products and payments
on both web and mobile.
"As a grower, I'm looking for a full suite of easy-to-use
products and services that are personalized to my individual
business needs," said Dan Corcoran.
"I'm excited about this new platform that will let me save time,
money and increase effectiveness in addition to providing real-time
advice based on my farm's specific data."
The Nutrien Ag Solutions' digital platform has already undergone
beta testing in North American markets, and growers have
appreciated the ease of use. Additional components and features
will be introduced to growers on an ongoing basis which will also
include securing products and reorders, as well as advisor modules
to help growers make better-informed decisions.
