The Seam a global commodities trading and agri-business software solutions provider, has formed the Cotton Technology Alliance in cooperation with the American Cotton Shippers Association, National Cotton Council and International Cotton Association. The organization held its first official meeting on June 26. The Association is focused on data standards, which will have a confident impact on all sectors of the cotton industry.
The Cotton Technology Alliance will offer a neutral forum allowing industry software experts to work together by describing, spreading and contributing to data standards, explore emerging technologies and communicate more closely around industry and regulatory changes.
Cargill, Dunavant, EWR, Louis Dreyfus Company, Mallory Group, PCCA, The Seam, Staplcotn, Three Rivers Cotton Systems, USDA AMS Cotton and Tobacco Program, and Wakefield Inspection Services are few of the initial member companies of the Alliance. The Alliance formation accords with The Seam’s recent website renovation, which features info on the company’s products ranging from custom software for agriculture and commodities trading to blockchain initiatives, as well as a broadcasting studio reporting on the latest trends within the industry.
The Seam was founded by leading global agribusinesses and specializes in software development for commodity trading and management systems. The company has leveraged its software and development expertise in agriculture to expand into other commodity segments.
