This discussion highlighted the challenges of digital adoption, innovative solutions, and tangible benefits for cooperatives and farmers.
Why Digitalizing the Agriculture Industry?
Agriculture has traditionally relied on manual processes, but evolving needs have accelerated digital adoption:
- Traceability and compliance: Ensuring full transparency in agricultural production.
- Time savings and productivity: Automating time-consuming tasks.
- Time savings and productivity: Automating time-consuming tasks.
- Better decision-making: Real-time data access allows for faster and smarter decisions.
Valfrance: A Pioneer in Agricultural Digitalization
Digitalization Initiated in the 1990s
Valfrance began its digital transformation in the 1990s by implementing computerized crop traceability. Today, this approach is further enhanced with dedicated applications such as Valoo and Datizy.
Valoo: A Commercial Management Tool

- Replaces constant calls to sales representatives with direct access to market data.
- Provides 24/7 availability, optimizing commercial decision-making.
Datizy: Securing and Simplifying Operational Management
- Designed to standardize and digitalize control processes in silos and agricultural infrastructures.
- Facilitates maintenance tracking and improves inspection traceability.
- Offers an ergonomic and intuitive interface, reducing training time for new users.
What Are the Key Benefits for Cooperatives and Farmers?
Implementing digital solutions like Datizy provides: ✅ Improved traceability of inspections and interventions.
✅ Reduced administrative workload and human errors.
✅ Centralized data management, facilitating analysis and decision-making.
✅ Enhanced security through structured data archiving.
A crucial point raised by Christophe Grison (President of Valfrance) is the positive impact on regulatory compliance. With Datizy, audits become smoother, and administrative inspections are less frequent, providing a significant advantage for cooperatives.
A Continuous Evolution Towards Agriculture 4.0
The future of digital agriculture goes beyond current innovations:
- Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for advanced predictive analytics.
- Development of Virtual Reality for training seasonal workers and new employees.
- Enhanced user experience to make digital solutions more accessible to all farms.
Conclusion: An Unavoidable Digital Revolution
Agriculture is undergoing a significant transformation, and digitalization is emerging as a key driver of performance and competitiveness. Tools like Datizy and Valoo do not replace human expertise but assist professionals in achieving more efficient and stress-free management.
