Faced with the new growing wave of technological offerings, the business models of Argentine agricultural producers have been evolving. At the same time, the demand for tools to facilitate operational issues also responds to a concrete demand: the 2025 Report on digital security perception prepared by CertiSur together with D'Alessio IROL points out that 94% of users expect companies to invest more in fraud and impersonation prevention and only 4 out of 10 actually believe they are protected by the organizations they interact with.
In this sense, digital trust is today a strategic value for agriculture , where operation times, information integrity, and contractual traceability are critical factors. Additionally, the need for sustainability is also paramount. Organizations are under pressure to reduce their environmental impact and digitalization offers a tangible solution by decreasing dependence on paper and minimizing carbon footprints associated with physical document transportation.
"Document management in companies, especially in the agricultural sector, faces significant challenges. Physical document shipping is inefficient and prone to errors, which causes delays in decision-making and increases operational costs. The lack of visibility in signature processes can lead to the loss of important documents and operator dissatisfaction due to response delays. Furthermore, increased regulation in the industry demands greater transparency and traceability in processes. Companies need solutions that not only optimize document signing, but also comply with legal and security regulations. The opportunity lies in digitalizing these processes, enabling more agile and efficient management that responds to current market demands," says Néstor Markowicz, COO of CertiSur.
According to the report, 75% of users know what an online contract is but only 27% have used it effectively. Moreover, 81% of those who signed digitally would not know how to detect if the contract was altered and 59% are unaware of how to claim if it is not validated correctly. These figures show a clear opportunity for solutions tailored to agriculture that not only optimize time and reduce costs, but also provide trust, legal traceability and simplicity in critical business environments.
