How farmers buy inputs
A farmer buying seed, fertiliser or treatment is working from a crop, an area and a point in the season, and needs to know what to apply and in what quantity — which is agronomy, not retail. Demand is violently seasonal, arriving in a few weeks when nobody can serve it, and stockouts at that moment cost a farmer a season rather than a purchase.
What we build for a farm supply store
First, products organised by crop and livestock type with application guidance, since that is how the need is formed. Second, quantity calculators by area, converting hectares into an order. Third, seasonal pre-ordering with deadlines, which secures supply for the farmer and production planning for you. Fourth, bulk pricing and delivery to the field, plus honest stock, because a stockout in the application window is a lost season for the customer.
