AgCadence

About this app

AgCadence tells agricultural retail sales reps which farm customers are going
cold — and makes logging the visit fast enough to actually happen.

Reps are asked to see their customers on a regular cadence. In practice that
means remembering, per farm, when you last spoke and what about, across a book
of a couple hundred accounts. AgCadence keeps that ledger for you.

WHAT IT DOES

• Your accounts, banded by how long since last contact — so the ones slipping
are the ones you see first.
• Log a visit, call or meeting in a few taps. Contact date, type and notes.
• Voice memos: record what happened while it is fresh, and let it write itself
up. Recording, transcription and a case-note summary happen in the
background, with no review queue to work through afterwards.
• An inbox of what needs doing: overdue accounts, booking deadlines with a real
work list behind them, and follow-ups you or the app raised.
• A calendar of what is scheduled and what is due.
• Purchase history for each account, straight from your ERP, and the months
of the year each farm usually buys in.
• A product-conversation checklist per farm, so you can see at a glance which
lines you have raised this season and which you have not. It resets each
crop year, and ticks itself when a purchase says the conversation already
happened.
• For managers: how each of your reps is doing, and which product lines the
team as a whole has not raised yet.

BUILT FOR NO SIGNAL

Farms do not have bars. Everything in AgCadence reads and writes from an
on-device database, so the app works the same in a yard with no coverage as it
does in the office. Entries queue up and send themselves when you get a signal,
and the app tells you plainly what has and has not gone through. Contact dates
are recorded when the visit happened, not when it uploaded — a week of queued
visits does not land looking like one busy afternoon.

WHO IT IS FOR

AgCadence is sold to agricultural retailers. Your sign-in is created by an
administrator at your own business, and your customer and purchase records sync
from your ERP. You will need an account from your employer to use this app.

What’s new

• The season's product-conversation checklist is now on the phone.
• Set a callback for 1, 3 or 7 days while logging the visit that prompted it.
• Notification preferences and your own timezone, from the Account tab.
• A farm's phone number is kept on the device, so you can call with no coverage.
• Clearer about when it cannot reach the server, instead of showing stale data.
• Dark mode is legible throughout, and the app wears its own colour.
