WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THE APPLICATION? A need for the availability of immediate and relevant grain market information for role players has been identified. The Manager of Senwes Graanmakelaars, Frans Dreyer, is of the opinion that the application is based on innovative and technological progress by placing market information in the palm of the consumer’s hand. No unnecessary time will have to be spent on broker calls, the internet or SMS’s any longer. “The consumer won’t have to be concerned about a 15 minute delayed price indication, since the application will provide real-time, live prices and will send out notices on the application to keep the consumer advised of the latest developments.” This application will not only benefit the role players, but also Senwes! IS THE APPLICATION USER-FRIENDLY? Modern-day businessmen are always concerned that their stakeholder groups will not be able to apply and effectively utilise technological change. According to Frans the Senwes Grainlink application has been developed to be as user-friendly as possible. “All divisions are indicated clearly on the application. The contents of the application are structured, easy to read and contain understandable terms which make it easy, accessible and understandable for the user.” Should any user still find the application difficult to understand, training will be available from all Senwes procurers and brokers, who will take the user through the process, step by step.
