As the winner, Camgrain will receive a free proof of concept development project with Columbus, to be developed over the next few weeks. The proof of concept will utilize the Microsoft Cognitive Services Suite to show how vehicle delivery plans can be quickly adapted in real time in reaction to daily routing requirements. These improvements will drive value generation by increasing operational efficiency of transport planning and execution. Improved member and customer experience will be delivered through sustained attainment of on time in full delivery and on-farm collection service turnaround.

Andrew Wingate, Systems Manager, from Camgrain commented, "Camgrain are delighted to receive the 'Digital Champions' award from Columbus. The adaptive transport planning proof of concept project will be a major accelerator for our digital roadmap. We aim to return ever more value to our members and continuous improvement of transport planning efficiency is a huge part of this.”

Chris Green, Columbus Marketing Director, “We have many customers who are on the road to digitally transforming their business. This award is to highlight not just the achievements that our customers have already made, but to also recognise our customers’ desire and intentions to digitally transform in the future. Camgrain are dedicated to the continual improvement in their business, through technology, and submitted an extremely compelling entry. We are all very excited to be working with Camgrain on this project and we are confident it will be a great success.”
