SmartSpud gave this group of producers the visibility they needed to take control.
A community of potato farms in the Western US was struggling with bruising and damage to their crops, which was resulting in significant losses.
Even with a bruise management plan in place, this group of farms couldn’t catch where damage was really happening. Impact from equipment, transport, and even rocks in the field were taking a toll on their bottom line—and without clear data, they were left guessing.
By tightening up every step of the process, growers now fix issues before they become losses.
By integrating SmartSpud into their harvest and handling process, the farms pinpointed exactly where bruising and cuts were occurring. Armed with real-time feedback, they made immediate adjustments to equipment and storage practices stopping damage before it spread. SmartSpud reveals exactly where impact damage starts so teams can act immediately.
