Integration through GXPortal

Conaprole, Uruguay's cooperative of milk producers, now has an online portal that gathers the services of more than 60 applications at the following web address: http://www.eleche.com.uy.

Conaprole chose GXPortal as a tool for the development of its web portal, which nowadays is the entrance door for all the information and services provided by the company with regards to important business processes. This decision was led by two needs: the centralization of web applications developed for different company areas in connection with milk collection as well as the processes involved in stages prior to industrial processing, and a quicker update of the information that was published.

Freddy Lucía, Conaprole's IT Manager, says that he cost-benefit relation of GXPortal is good, and that given all the GeneXus developments that the company has had, adopting it came as a natural decision. Conaprole has more than 60 web applications developed with GeneXus, apart from the Fresh Milk Management system that administrates the core of the business.

Each of the company areas participating in the process used to have specific queries that were not integrated to the rest, and were kept by a single person. Now, each of the areas is part of a channel of the milk portal -cooperating partners, transporters, regional technicians, logistics, and PROLESA (sale of inputs to producers)- whose content is handled by one responsible person per channel. Leonardo Grandillo, the person in charge of developing Conaprole's Milk Portal, says that the Workflow that comes with GXPortal is very powerful and has enabled the company to put a content-administration system together that is decentralized among several users, according to their profile.

The information that has not been included is available through the Conaprole's management systems, and there is no need for updating it because it is automatically back-fed and available in real time. The milk portal offers public information as well as real-time access to data pertaining to the systems that manage Conaprole's business (SAP R/3 and Fresh Milk Management developed with GeneXus).

The Single Sing On (SSO) included by GXPortal avoided having to add all the users so that they can access the system. This is so because when logging in, they are checked in based on the company's database itself. A secure connection is also used for logging users in and the password is encrypted.

The site was designed using GXportlets provided by GXPortal. "GXportlets give great speed to web-site design and enable users to put a portal together in a few weeks," said Grandillo.
