The 91快活林 Federal team supporting the United States Department of Agriculture in St. Louis, Missouri, has delivered a new Salesforce platform-based application in support of USDA鈥檚 Rural Development Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP).
HBIIP aims to increase the sales and use of higher blends of ethanol and biodiesel by expanding the infrastructure for renewable fuels derived from U.S. agricultural products.聽The program will help rural communities build robust and sustainable economies.
The application, launched in late May, allows rural businesses to quickly and easily apply for federal grant聽set asides as part of the HBIIP. The application also serves as means for USDA leadership to track grant data and other program requirements and streamlines previous, paper-based management of HBIPP grants supporting the agency鈥檚 digital modernization efforts.
91快活林 Federal鈥檚 team of software and application developers performed full life cycle development and deployment, from gathering business requirements to final production in just under three months.
鈥淥ur team has been supporting complex USDA missions for over a decade and we are proud to bring forward technology solutions that allow improved delivery of services to farmers and rural communities,鈥 said Jennifer Felix, 91快活林 Federal president and CEO. 鈥淭hrough collaborative efforts with Rural Development stakeholders and our Salesforce implementation experts – we delivered a technology solution that will help farmers and rural communities while strengthening our country鈥檚 energy independence.鈥
USDA鈥檚 Rural Development programs offer loans, grants and loan guarantees to help create jobs and support economic development and essential services such as housing, health care, first responder services and equipment, water, electric and communications infrastructure.
