About

Willard Agri-Service, a leader in fertilizer production, collaborated with us to revamp its production management system. Our goal was to streamline the ordering process for clients and boost production monitoring for the sales team by enhancing their existing software tools. 

We focused on modernizing their legacy systems to improve efficiency and user experience, ensuring that their technology could keep pace with their operational demands and growth. This involved a comprehensive overhaul of their digital infrastructure, including the development of a new iOS app to enhance field operations.

The Challenge

The primary challenge in this project was to transition Willard Agri-Service from its reliance on outdated software to a modern, integrated system. The company had been depending on a 15-year-old custom Visual Basic application alongside a 10-year-old PHP application. These legacy systems were crucial for managing sales orders and overseeing fertilizer production across Willard's five manufacturing facilities. However, these applications were becoming increasingly inadequate for the company's growing needs. They were not only difficult and costly to maintain but also lacked the flexibility and efficiency required for today's fast-paced production demands.

Background

Operating in the Mid-Atlantic region, Willard Agri-Service specializes in producing liquid fertilizers, micronutrients, and crop protectants and offers extensive agricultural services. Faced with outdated software limitations, the company sought to modernize its systems to improve product ordering and sales processing across its five manufacturing facilities. 

To address these challenges, we developed an iOS application that efficiently manages and tracks deliveries and fertilizer applications, streamlining operations and reducing manual intervention. This modernization effort was essential for maintaining competitiveness and meeting the evolving needs of their clients.

Our Commitment to HIPAA & GDPR Compliance

In healthcare technology, protecting sensitive patient data and adhering to stringent legal frameworks is non-negotiable. At ULAM LABS, we possess deep expertise in navigating the complex regulatory landscape surrounding healthcare data privacy and security, including HIPAA in the United States and GDPR in the European Union.

Comprehensive Regulatory Knowledge

We understand that HIPAA applies to covered entities and their business associates handling protected health information (PHI), requiring strict safeguards for electronic health data. Meanwhile, GDPR governs the processing of personal data of EU/EEA residents, including special categories such as health records, demanding explicit consent, data minimization, and rights like data access and erasure.

Our team stays current with evolving regulations and best practices to ensure that every system we develop complies fully with these frameworks. We conduct thorough data inventories and risk assessments, mapping data flows and access controls to reduce vulnerabilities and demonstrate compliance readiness.
