Colliers - Customer success story

Industry: Agribusiness Advisory

"Twenty-four hour support — quite frankly picking the phone up at any point in time, 2am in the morning — people pick the phone up."

Deals happen in the field, not the boardroom

In agribusiness, ransactions don't follow office hours, they unfold on properties, over phone calls at all hours, with people who have spent a lifetime building something. Rawdon Briggs, Head of Agribusiness, Transaction Services at Colliers, knows this reality better than most.

Rawdon leads a national team that operates across the full complexity of the food, fibre and agribusiness sector. Whether that means seeking capital, finding the right partners, repositioning a business, or navigating succession planning — his work takes him deep into regional Australia, and that's exactly where he wants to be.

What sets Colliers apart, Rawdon explains, is a collective intelligence model — one that considers deals and market dynamics from a global, national and regional perspective simultaneously. It's an approach built for the growing sophistication of a sector that has seen agtech private equity investment grow fivefold or more over his fifteen years in agency.

A platform built to keep pace with complex transactions

Rawdon first discovered Ansarada in 2017, and the impression it made was immediate. His analysts at the time noted the quality of the experience, and the team has been using the platform ever since. For Rawdon, the decision to keep coming back comes down to three things: round-the-clock support, gold-standard governance and data security, and a user experience that genuinely works.

In a sector where deals don't wait for business hours, 24/7 responsiveness isn't a nice-to-have — it's a non-negotiable. Knowing help is available at any hour, day or night, allows Rawdon's team to move with confidence regardless of time zone or timeline pressure.

Buyer engagement intelligence that changes how teams prepare

Beyond support, Ansarada has transformed the way Rawdon's team prepares and runs transactions. The platform's buyer engagement insights allow the team to understand exactly what bidder groups are looking for at each stage of a process — and to show up fully prepared.

Time that would otherwise be spent second-guessing what counterparties need is now directed toward the due diligence materials that genuinely matter. The result is a sharper, more efficient team that shows up to every process ready to move.

Seven years of governance at the gold level

For a team operating at the intersection of high-value assets and complex stakeholder groups, having one trusted, secure repository is non-negotiable. Rawdon and his team have used Ansarada as a single source of truth for seven years — through hundreds of transactions spanning the full breadth of Australian agriculture.

"It's invaluable. It's governance at the gold level."

That trust has been built transaction by transaction, year after year. For Rawdon, the choice to return to Ansarada isn't just a matter of habit — it's a considered commitment to the standards of security, transparency and reliability that his clients deserve.
