Automation for farms and agribusiness
that catches a stockout before a buyer does
A farm or agribusiness usually tracks harvest, input stock and orders in whatever system was handy that season, a notebook, three spreadsheets, a farm management app nobody fully trusts, which means a real stockout or a surplus often gets discovered by a buyer or a wasted harvest before anyone internally sees it coming. We connect the pieces, add reorder and stockout alerts, and give you one place to see what you actually have.
Why farms and agribusiness lose money today
A farm or agribusiness operation usually tracks what it has across several disconnected places: a harvest log on paper, an input inventory in a spreadsheet nobody updates consistently, and orders tracked in whatever system handles sales. None of these talk to each other, which means a real-time view of what is actually available, and what is running low, does not exist anywhere a decision-maker can check quickly.
A second, more expensive cost is the stockout or surplus that gets discovered the hard way. A buyer calling to ask why an order cannot be filled, or a batch of a perishable input sitting past its useful life because nobody tracked usage closely enough, both cost real money and both are preventable with a system that actually watches stock levels against real usage.
A third is input reordering run on a fixed calendar instead of real consumption. Ordering seed, feed or packaging on the same schedule every year, regardless of how a season actually went, means sometimes running short mid-season and sometimes carrying excess stock that ties up cash for no reason.
A fourth, longer-term cost is the loss of institutional memory. Without a historical record of what sold, what sat too long and what ran short, planning next season relies on whoever remembers best, which is a fragile way to run a business that depends heavily on getting timing right.
What we build
One inventory view joining harvest data, input stock and order data, so a stockout or a surplus becomes visible before a buyer or a wasted season reveals it. Stockout and reorder alerts are built from your real usage and sales rate, not a fixed calendar, so an alert for seed, feed or packaging fires with enough lead time to actually act on it.
A dashboard shows stock by product, location and age, pulled from the same data your team already enters, not a separate reporting exercise. Historical data accumulates automatically, giving you a real record for planning next season instead of relying on memory.
Typical integrations: your farm management software or a spreadsheet-based log as the data source, your order system for sales tracking, and an ERP’s API where one exists for a larger, multi-line operation.
What stays with humans
Every planting, harvesting and purchasing decision stays entirely with your team. The system’s job is to make the real numbers visible in time to act on them, not to make the agronomic or purchasing decision itself. A stockout alert is a prompt for a human decision about how to respond, whether that means a rush order, a price adjustment, or simply informing a buyer honestly.
Price and timeline
| Model | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Agency runs it | from $1,800 | We build, launch and maintain the inventory and alert system; you flag new product lines or thresholds as they change |
| Full control, handover-ready | from $3,060 | Same build, full source code and configuration access transferred to your team, documentation included |
Both run on the same 3 to 5 week build for a standard multi-line setup.

FAQ
What does it cost to start?
An inventory and alert build starts at $1,800 and takes 3 to 5 weeks, depending on how many product lines and input types need tracking. A lighter stockout-alert-only layer on existing data starts at $1,200.
Do we need to replace our existing farm management software?
Not usually. We connect to it where it exposes an API or a reliable export and build the missing pieces, reorder alerts, a unified dashboard, around it rather than replacing a system your team already knows.
How do stockout alerts work?
Based on real usage and sales rate for each product, so an alert fires with enough lead time to act, not after the stock is already gone. We set the thresholds with your team from how your actual sales cycle works.
Can it track inputs like seed, feed or packaging too, not just harvest?
Yes, any stock category you track can get the same reorder-alert logic, built from your real usage patterns rather than a fixed calendar reorder that ignores how fast you are actually going through supply.
Does this help with next season's planning?
Yes, historical stock and sales data gives you a real record of what sold, what sat too long, and what ran out too early, which is far more useful for planning next season than memory alone.
