The Digital Journey of a Flower Wholesaler

In episode 61 of the Augmented podcast (@Augmentedpod), the topic is: The Digital Journey of a Flower Wholesaler. Our guest is Andy Burton , Managing Director at Double H Nurseries Ltd (@DoubleHUK). In this conversation, we talk about The experience implementing the Tulip digital app in the midst of COVID-19 lockdown in the busiest flower season to try to save his flowers and turn on e-commerce without spending a fortune in time and resources and without deep digital skills in his workforce.

Augmented is a podcast for industrial leaders, process engineers and shop floor operators, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim (@trondau), presented by Tulip.

My takeaway is that frontline operations is about so much more than technology, but getting technology right is often about picking the right technology for the skillset of your workforce. Implementing tech must be followed up by a complete tie-in with all your business processes, otherwise you enable speed in one part of the process and backlog in another. No-code apps make this easier, but not self evident.
