Benchling enables Syngenta ’ s teams to communicate and collaborate across multiple locations and functions more clearly and quickly , greatly accelerating the pace of their science . Since the beginning of the partnership , Syngenta reported a 48 % improvement in ease of finding legacy data or protocols , a 72 % increase in ease of sharing data across teams and a 79 % improvement in quality of data capture .
The Syngenta Seeds business unit uses biotechnology alongside conventional breeding technologies to bring new characteristics into the seed varieties that farmers grow around the world . Seeds R & D has partnered closely with Benchling since 2020 . According to Charlie Baxter , who leads Traits , Regulatory , and Product Safety for Seeds , the group has seen a significant step-shift in how it leverages data .
“ The efficiencies gained from the ability to record unstructured data accurately , learn from past experiments , collaborate globally , while all in a secure and compliant way , not only benefits the scientists , but the whole organisation ”
Charlie Baxter , Head of Traits , Regulatory , and Product Safety .
Benchling has evolved the Seeds group ’ s ways of working as well , improving experiment planning by providing a more accurate view of milestones and dependencies , enabling new team members to upskill quickly by having a system of record to reference , and unlocking in-the-field optimization through mobile data capture .
Benchling is a key partner in the next era of science at Syngenta . Repeatable , high-probability results are crucial to their Seeds business strategy , and as the pace of innovation accelerates , so will the quantity of data output and the need to draw insights accurately and with speed . Benchling is foundational to the technological infrastructure that Charlie and team need to tackle these challenges and to collaborate more cohesively – both internally and with regulatory agencies around the world .
