The challenge

At Hishtil, we deal with millions of seeds every day. The standard practice of estimation by weight is simply not good enough for us. The use of extremely high priced seeds dictates using most accurate counts for successful management of our business.

The solution

Hishtil purchased SEED COUNT, which accurately counts thousands of seeds on a daily basis.

"With the SEED COUNT we are able to avoid costly mistakes and have real control of our stock." says Ariel Serousi, Hishtil's CFO "In fact; we have already found a 7% difference of the machine count versus quantities stated by a suppliers. This incident alone justified the total investment."
