We’re introducing a new CRM dashboard experience designed to help your team quickly identify where their attention can have the greatest impact.
Instead of starting the day by searching through customer lists, contracts, quotes, and historical activity, the dashboard brings key Ag Retail and Grain opportunities together in one place, helping staff understand who needs attention, why they rose to the top, and where to take action.
The new dashboard includes:
Pending Quotes
Quickly identify draft quotes that still need to be sent and customer quote requests waiting for a response, helping you book more sales.
Customer Follow-Up
Surface customers who may need attention based on how long it has been since your team last engaged with them, ensuring no customers, prospects, or opportunities slip through the cracks.
To-Arrive & Past Due Contracts
See upcoming and overdue grain deliveries by location and commodity so your team can anticipate contracts at risk of nonperformance and manage counterparty risk.
Input Sales Opportunities
Identify customers who historically purchase inputs from your business but have not yet booked their expected purchases, helping your team focus sales conversations where there may still be an opportunity.
Origination Opportunities
Identify customers who historically contract grain with your business but still have expected bushels uncontracted, helping your team focus origination efforts on the opportunities most likely to matter.
The goal is simple: spend less time figuring out where to focus and more time taking action.
With the new CRM dashboard, your team can spot opportunities, prioritize the day, and start acting on them—all in under 60 seconds.
Buddy is designed to help agribusiness teams get answers and take action without digging through reports, spreadsheets, or multiple systems.
With the latest update, Buddy can handle more complex questions, turn large sets of data into usable exports, and even help you navigate Bushel, all through a simple conversation.
Whether you’re looking for contract information, trying to identify customers who need attention, analyzing your business, or figuring out how to accomplish something in Bushel, Buddy can help you get there faster.
Handle More Complex Requests: Buddy can now work through more complex, multi-step questions, making it easier to turn the data already in Bushel into answers you can use. Ask Buddy to find contracts, identify customers that need attention, summarize results, or prepare data for further analysis.
Turn Answers Into Action with CSV Exports: Need more than an answer on the screen? Buddy can now export large sets of results into a downloadable CSV file so you can analyze, share, or work with the data outside of Bushel.
Try asking: “Export all of our active corn contracts.”
Get Bushel Help Without Leaving Buddy: Buddy can now search the Bushel Help Center to answer questions about features, setup, and how to accomplish tasks within the platform.
Try asking: “How do I send a push notification?”
Know What Buddy Is Working On: For requests that take a little longer, Buddy now provides clearer progress updates so you know what it’s doing and when your answer is ready.
We’ve also improved how Buddy understands your data and the context behind your questions.
Better Contract and Delivery Answers: Buddy better understands crop years, delivery periods, actual delivery dates, and remaining contract balances, helping you get more useful answers when asking about your grain business.
Find the Right Customer Faster: When customers or accounts have similar names, Buddy now provides additional context, including account and location details, to help you quickly identify the right one. We’ve also improved searches across different phone number formats.
More Relevant Results: Buddy better understands whether you’re asking about your customers, your team, or the entire business. Ask about “my customers,” “our team,” or “all contracts,” and Buddy will use that context to give you the right results without requiring you to carefully word every request.
The goal is simple: make the data already available in Bushel easier for your team to access, understand, and act on.
As part of these accuracy and performance upgrades, existing Buddy chat threads have been converted to read-only mode. You can still view your previous conversations, but you’ll need to start a new chat to take advantage of the latest Buddy improvements.
The more Buddy is used, the more we can learn about where it provides value and where we can make it better.
When you use Buddy, take a second to rate responses using the thumbs up or thumbs down buttons. Your feedback helps guide future improvements. Ready to see what Buddy can do? Start a new chat and ask it a question about your business.
When multiple delivery periods are redundant for a contract, they are now consolidated into one with an indicator of how many pricing lines have that same delivery period. The Contracts list view is now more streamlined for a more compact, easy-to-read view.
Embedded CRM Reports are now fully released! All staff with CRM and reporting permissions can now unlock powerful, actionable insights directly within the CRM. These reports surface key insights on activities, demographics, crops, bins, and app usage metrics, providing individual staff with a deeper customer understanding and managers with a vital, high-level view across the business.
We’ve reorganized the menu to make finding your tools easier. Best of all, you can now pin and reorder your favorite features right at the top.
Another new feature on the map is the full name of the field on the map. The field hover state now displays the last 24 hours of rain on that field that is clickable to view more rain history. If multiple fields are close together, a zoomed out view shows a grouping to click into.
When navigating the map feature in the Bushel App, users can now add storage to the map. This feature allows mobile app users to get directions to a storage location. The user can geo-locate a bin, and add the storage right on the map. This feature works for new and existing storage units. Adding to this functionality, the user can log a load into a storage unit from the map as well. The storage units are also color coded to the crop that is current in the unit. The hover feature will allow the user to see the fill level of a storage unit as well. If multiple storage units are close together, a zoomed out view shows a grouping to click into.
Users can now search and filter on the storage page, in addition to being able to filter the loads page. A new summary section has been added to both the storage and the load pages for quicker view of all inventory by crop.
