Canadian Wheat Board

As global markets and trading systems grew more complex, the CWB’s systems were challenged to keep up. Increasingly, managers and sales teams needed access to better data and more sophisticated analyses—and they needed it faster than before.

The Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) is the largest wheat and barley marketer in the world and one of Canada’s biggest exporters. Controlled by western Canadian farmers, the Winnipeg-based organization returns all sales revenue, less marketing costs, to farmers.
