Real-Time Visibility Across Your Ag Retail Operation
Inventory Accuracy
See what’s in stock across locations and keep product moving where it’s needed.
Ag Sales
Manage pricing, prepayments, billing splits, rebates and other ag-specific sales processes.
Customer Financials
See credit status, invoices, payments and account balances in one place.
Ag retailers and cooperatives manage a lot of moving parts, from inventory and pricing to grower accounts, prepayments, billing splits and seasonal demand. During your busiest seasons, having the right product in the right place matters, and your teams need accurate information to keep sales and deliveries moving.
Real-time data makes that easier. When information lives in different systems and spreadsheets, it gets harder to know what you have, what’s been sold and what needs to get where.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP connects inventory, sales, purchasing, accounting and customer data so your team has a clearer picture of the business across locations. Combined with ag-specific capabilities from Levridge, you can manage the processes unique to ag retail on Microsoft’s connected business platform.
Ag Retailer-Specific ERP Challenges
Inventory Across Locations
The Challenge
During busy seasons, product moves quickly across locations. One branch can be short while inventory sits somewhere else, making it harder to get product where it needs to go.
Our Solution
Microsoft Dynamics 365 gives you real-time inventory visibility across locations so teams can see what’s available and keep product moving.
Managing Sales & Delivery
The Challenge
During peak season, pricing, prepayments, inventory and delivery all need to stay in sync. Disconnected systems make it harder to move quickly from the sale to getting product where it needs to go.
Our Solution
Dynamics 365Â and Levridge connect ag sales, inventory and financials, helping your team manage pricing, prepayments, billing splits, rebates and delivery from one connected system.
Purchasing & Supplier Agreements
The Challenge
Seasonal demand makes purchasing decisions critical. When supplier agreements, purchase commitments and inventory information are disconnected, it’s harder to know what to buy and when.
Our Solution
Dynamics 365 connects purchasing, supplier information and inventory data, giving your team a clearer view to plan purchasing around demand.

Power BI KPIs for Ag Retailers

Track sales performance by agronomist, territory, or grower to understand demand across regions. Interactive dashboards highlight top customers, seasonal buying patterns, and opportunities for cross-selling additional products and services.
Measure inventory turnover while identifying slow-moving, aging, or seasonal stock before it impacts profitability. Power BI surfaces inventory trends across warehouses, helping retailers optimize replenishment and reduce carrying costs.
Monitor contracted versus delivered quantities, on-time deliveries, and open commitments throughout the season. By combining sales orders, logistics, and inventory data from Dynamics 365, Power BI helps operations teams keep customer commitments while maximizing fleet and warehouse efficiency.
