Regulatory [rocess automation for agricultural industry
Time-consuming: Manually updating regulations for each individual state can be a time-consuming and tedious task, taking valuable time away from other important aspects of the farming business.
High risk of error: Manually updating regulations is prone to human errors, which can lead to non-compliance with state laws, resulting in penalties and fines.
Difficulty in keeping up with changes: Regulations are subject to change and keeping track of updates and modifications can be difficult, which can result in non-compliance with the latest regulations.
Lack of standardization: Each state may have different regulations and restrictions, which can make it difficult for the farm to standardize their inspection and restriction policies across multiple locations.
Costly: Manually updating regulations for each state can be costly in terms of time and money, as it requires staff resources and software to track and ensure compliance.
