In our latest web development project, we partnered with Prairie Ag Products to create a customized savings calculator designed to help farmers optimize their profits. This tool is a significant addition to their website, offering a user-friendly interface and robust functionality tailored to the agricultural industry.
Project Overview
Client: Prairie Ag Products
Objective: Develop a customized savings calculator
Technology: PHP
Key Features
Commodity Selection: Users can choose from three primary commodities: corn, soybeans, and wheat. This flexibility ensures the tool is relevant to a broad range of users.
User Inputs:
- Commodity Amount in Bushels: Allows users to input the total quantity of their chosen commodity.
- Moisture Content Percent: Users enter the current moisture content of their commodity.
- Market Moisture Content Percent: Users input the standard market moisture content for comparison.
- Receiving Facility Charge (in dollars): Users can input the cost charged by the receiving facility.
Functionality
Once all the inputs are provided, the calculator processes the data to estimate the potential savings from using the grain elevator. The calculations take into account the differences in moisture content and the associated costs, providing a clear and accurate savings estimate.
Development Process
The development of the savings calculator involved several key steps:
- Requirements Gathering: We worked closely with Prairie Ag Products to understand their needs and the specific requirements of their customer base.
- Design and Prototyping: Our design team created a user-friendly interface that was both intuitive and easy to navigate.
- Scripting with PHP: The core of the calculator was developed using PHP, ensuring efficient processing and reliable calculations.
- Testing and Refinement: The calculator underwent rigorous testing to ensure accuracy and reliability. Feedback from Prairie Ag Products and their customers was incorporated to refine the tool further.
Impact
Since its launch, the customized savings calculator has been well-received by Prairie Ag Products’ customers. It provides a practical and valuable service, helping farmers make informed decisions and maximize their profits. The tool’s success demonstrates the power of customized web solutions in meeting specific industry needs.
Conclusion
This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering tailored web solutions that address real-world challenges. By leveraging our expertise in web development and understanding the unique requirements of the agricultural industry, we created a tool that offers significant value to Prairie Ag Products and their customers.
