Summary Solution

The module Sale, Purchase and Storage of Grains helps the processes of purchase, sale and storage of products by receiving outputs of loads, controlling payments and collections as well as controlling rendering of storage services. It was developed to meet the commodities market. It aims at providing the demand from great traders (operations with high aggregated value) to the flexibility necessary to the negotiator and distributor for small and medium-size producers (serialists).

Management Challenges

• How to determine the price of the product being negotiated? 

Origination of Grains forms prices by pre-registered price components, for example, CBOT, Premium, Freight, among others, that are added or decreased to establish the product price.

• Can you establish the amount of grains?

During the receiving of load, the grain can be classified and, by the results, discounts in the classification of the net weight can be generated. The tests applied in classifications are registered by producer and the discounts are standardized by the establishment and supplier.

• How to transfer producers' debts from one crop to another?

In Origination of Grains, debts of a crop contract can be transferred to other contracts for the next crops, generating new debts for the producer or even transferring the debt for another product, and the debt can be replaced by another product's delivery.

• How to win the producer's loyalty?

Producer's loyalty ensures retention of products, avoiding their migration to the competition. To do so, the system provides ways of financing by advances of value and products (inputs), in which producers pay for delivery of their products (grains).

• The software controls all stages of grain, inputs and fertilizers sales, and enables the customer to obtain a competitive differential.

• It also enables weighting integrated with the load issuance/receiving program to capture the scale automatically. Functionality customizable by user and establishment.
