The Leading Grower Management Solution

Managing Raw Product in Your Supply Chain

Your typical agricultural supply chain involves growers, haulers, processors, inspectors, distributors, and others before the food reaches the tables of the consumer. Without tight controls over every aspect of your raw product, you are vulnerable to data inconsistencies and operational inefficiencies that will negatively impact the food you produce and the bottom line. Food manufacturers and processors, like you, need a clear view of the entire supply chain.

The ExtendAg system eliminates the guesswork from the planning and management of your raw product supply chain. This single system seamlessly integrates with your existing ERP system to keep you connected to every stage of your operation. Now you have real-time data access anytime, anywhere, so you can ensure peak performance from all raw product activities.
