From travel and weeks of waiting to signatures in days: Driscoll’s transforms its operation with Mifiel

A manual process that created critical bottlenecks

Driscoll’s, a leader in the research and development of high-quality berry seeds, relies on contracts signed with producers before they can deliver plants and begin planting. This step is essential to formalize commitments with producers and ensure orderly planting planning in a seasonal, high-demand market.

Before using Mifiel, Sofía, who is responsible for managing these contracts, had to travel for hours to the agricultural regions of Jalisco to collect signatures manually. When errors arose in the contracts, such as incorrect data or last-minute adjustments, it was necessary to reprint them and coordinate new trips to the field to collect the producer's signature again. In many cases, Sofía relied on trips from other departments to take advantage of their visits to the agricultural areas, reducing her autonomy and ability to react to urgent matters. All of this created bottlenecks that reduced the optimal planting window and could postpone harvests, affecting the income of both Driscoll’s and its producers.

Confidentiality without sacrificing operational agility

Due to internal policies, Driscoll’s had to ensure that the information contained in their contracts with producers remained confidential and was not shared with third parties, including their own technology providers. Normally, meeting this level of confidentiality requires complex and expensive on-premise solutions that often slow down implementation.

With Mifiel, Driscoll’s found a turnkey solution that allowed them to start signing immediately, with no wait times or technical implementations to disrupt their workflow. Thanks to the private signing process, which encrypts documents at the source before they are uploaded to the cloud, Driscoll’s was able to maintain full control over their sensitive information without the need to implement or maintain their own infrastructure, avoiding the diversion of resources and focus from the most important parts of their operation.

What was expected to be complex turned out to be simple for signers

Since features like end-to-end encryption are often perceived as complex for users, there was concern that signing these documents would be difficult for producers, especially considering that many have limited familiarity with technological tools.

However, experience proved otherwise: the signing process turned out to be so simple that Driscoll’s achieved one of the fastest average signing times among our clients. Thanks to Mifiel’s usability-focused design and the support of shared training materials (tutorials and practical guides), producers were able to quickly adopt the electronic signing process without friction.

Results: operational agility and control without sacrificing confidentiality

With Mifiel, Driscoll’s eliminated the need for travel to collect signatures, reducing contract management times from up to three weeks to less than one.

Today, it manages thousands of electronic signatures, ensuring that its critical processes are completed in an agile and orderly manner while protecting the confidentiality of its most sensitive information. In this way, Driscoll’s has managed to scale its agricultural operation without sacrificing its standards of excellence or control over its processes.
