Agri-food Business

The Agri-food sector has specific characteristics that make it different from any other industry. The agriculture business is a 24 hour a day, 365 days-a-year business. Food processors and other businesses in the sector need to have systems that support continuous operations. Quite often the businesses they operate are high volume and low margin. Many of the larger processors also have multiple sites. And the whole industry is heavily regulated.

Loughtec has a track record of providing reliable, future-proofed IT systems for our Agri-business customers. One of Loughtec’s founders, Sean McDermott, worked in the industry for over 10 years so we have a strong understanding of the business and our customers’ priorities.

Because we combine a knowledge of agri-business with deep technical expertise, we can often identify innovative ways to use technology in support of our customers’ businesses. Read a recent case study on the work we did with Foyle Food Group, the multi-million meat processor, to see how we helped them increase their operational efficiency with a solution that paid for itself in 6 months.

By repeatedly working with customers in the agri-business sector we have developed a better understanding of their businesses, the overall market pressures, the types of IT systems they need and the regulatory requirements under which they operate. This means we can provide a better service to other clients in this sector too.
