Client Overview
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is a global leader in food processing and commodities, operating across multiple sites worldwide. With a focus on operational efficiency, ADM sought to improve its contractor productivity tracking process to drive better decision-making and streamline reporting.
The Challenge
ADM faced significant challenges in tracking contractor productivity across its sites:
- Manual Reporting: Site managers relied on Excel spreadsheets to manually log contractors’ activities.
- Fragmented Processes: With multiple sites and large teams, data consolidation was a time-consuming weekly process.
- Delayed Insights: The manual nature of data manipulation caused delays in generating Power BI reports, which were crucial for improving site productivity.
ADM needed a unified solution that would enable real-time data collection and reporting to address these inefficiencies.

Logisam designed and delivered a Power Apps mobile application tailored to ADM’s specific needs:
- Simplified Data Collection:
Site managers could quickly log contractor activities using pre-defined categories directly on their mobile devices. - Centralized Data Storage:
All data was stored in a secure SharePoint backend, ensuring consistency and accessibility across sites. - Real-Time Insights:
The SharePoint backend was integrated with Power BI, providing dynamic, real-time dashboards and reports. This eliminated the need for manual data manipulation and weekly delays.
The Impact
- Improved Efficiency: Site managers saved hours each week by eliminating manual spreadsheet workflows.
- Enhanced Productivity Insights: Real-time reports provided actionable data to drive productivity improvements.
- Scalability: The solution seamlessly accommodated multiple sites and large teams.
Results
ADM now benefits from a streamlined contractor productivity tracking process that supports data-driven decision-making and fosters continuous operational improvements.
