Beefing up productivity with data analytics
Share
Shannon Speight and Emma Black founded Black Box Co., a pioneering enterprise that revolutionises the Australian beef supply chain by utilising and analysing extensive previously untapped data. Producers are using the organsation’s advanced methods and analytical strategies to make well-informed decisions, which boosts efficiency throughout the industry.
“Both of us had observed the same challenge – the beef industry was collecting and storing data, but lacked the means to organise or analyse it effectively,” stated Shannon Speight, co-founder of Black Box Co. “We realised that to make any significant progress, we needed access to a comprehensive database.”
Black Box Co’s cloud-based system handles data from over 5.5 million animals in the beef supply chain, and this number continues to grow. The platform combines data from various existing systems, including performance metrics from farms, feedlots, and abattoirs, seamlessly.
Advanced data analytics methods are transforming the operational landscape of the public sector. The Australian government uses data analytics to boost operational efficiency and improve service delivery standards. The Australian government actively uses data analytics to improve operations in its ongoing digital transformation efforts. Black Box Company’s groundbreaking solutions drive this transformation by creating a framework for optimal data utilisation.
“We’re not just about data collection, we’re focused on analysis and insights,” remarked Emma Black, co-founder of Black Box Co. “Our platform processes and refines raw data from across the supply chain, then shares insights through a user-friendly dashboard, ready for decision-making.”
The focus on data governance remains crucial. Recent findings show that public sector organisations acknowledge the importance of data, but they increasingly prioritise governance and compliance. Black Box Co. enhances data organisation and accessibility, aligning perfectly with these goals. The company not only gathers data but also handles it to maximise its usefulness.
