Negotiate Grain Offers Right From your Phone
Both grain merchandisers and farmers hold many responsibilities and have a whole lot of work to do throughout their busy days. With all of the hard work that farmers and merchandisers do, communicating with one another shouldn’t be difficult, don’t you think? Well that’s why we created cmdty Marketplace, a private network that connects farmers and agribusiness in a simple way.
How does this make for easier communication? Let me explain.
Marketplace makes it easier to communicate and negotiate with each other over mobile devices by taking our deep relationships with 2,200+ grain elevators, and providing branded apps that grain merchandisers can provide to their producers - with no cost to the producer.
Sound too good to be true? Think again.
After downloading the app, farmers can view all prices that their grain elevator publishes alongside futures prices, market news, and weather - and both parties are easily able to direct message with one another. Farmers can request approval to negotiate offers to buy/sell grain in real-time - all of which is supported by our instant messaging capabilities. With this chat feature, merchandisers can keep producers more productive and engaged by staying in touch.
The app also connects with our commodity trading software, cmdtyView Pro, which already sits on the desktop of grain merchandisers. This seamlessly blends their entire workflow into one easy solution where they can make private bids to producers, chat with them in real-time, and accept offers. Tying together the entire grain merchandiser workflow in one place, Marketplace is truly designed to simplify how a grain elevator acquires, engages and communicates with clients - allowing them to buy more grain.
Simply put, with Marketplace, producers get free data, tools, charts and better communication channels with their local grain merchandisers. With these tools, they can ensure they’re getting a fair price for their grain. On the other end, grain elevators get to manage offers, chat with producers, and grow their business faster than they thought possible!
