Before the technological upgrade, the company’s performance was low, and the company was not able to provide high quality products. Just like in any other industry, technology has helped this company achieve its organizational goals. Technology is employed at the farms, during the processing phase and quality control phrase, and during the delivery. The technology that enhances the quality of production helped the company become the market leader in organic food production (Kruger, 2017). Apart from farms, technology has been also used to run day-to-day office operations and enhance the decision-making processes of the employees.

It has become the most trusted and top-selling organic food company in Australia, currently occupying more than 10% of the market.
