1. Use Push Notifications to Keep Farmers Informed
Stay proactive with timely updates using push notifications. Send alerts about hours of operation, line delays, breakdowns, storage availability, or other harvest changes. Clear, consistent updates keep farmers in the loop and reduce calls to your office.
ROI Tip: Agribusinesses using push alerts and self-service tools through Bushel report noticeable time savings and improved communication efficiency.

Make sure your entire team, especially scale operators and administrative staff, has access to the Bushel Admin Portal. This enables them to assist farmers, send notifications, and manage updates quickly and efficiently.
ROI Tip: Teams connected through Bushel see fewer manual handoffs and faster decision-making, leading to measurable labor savings and fewer missed opportunities during peak times.

3. Promote the App at the Scale for Peak Farmer Engagement
Encourage app downloads and usage where it matters most: at the scale. A simple reminder like “Download our app to see your tickets and contracts instantly” can boost adoption and help your team focus on the grain instead of the phone.
ROI Tip: Farmers using the Bushel app self-serve their information, reducing “where’s my ticket?” calls by up to 20 per day, allowing staff to focus on originations and logistics.
4. Use Bushel eSign to Keep Contracts Moving
Unsigned contracts mean delays and risk. With Bushel eSign, you can send, track, and store signed documents automatically, keeping business moving fast, even during peak hours.
ROI Tip: eSign users have reduced unsigned contracts by 90%, minimizing financial risk and saving valuable time.
5. Leverage Bushel CRM to Stay Connected and Organized
Use Bushel CRM to track customer interactions, follow-ups, and engagement across your team. It serves as a single hub for all farmer activity, including quotes, contracts, payments, and more.
ROI Tip: Bushel CRM users see up to 2–5% growth in grain or product sales from better follow-ups and faster decision-making.
6. Enable Make Offer to Let Farmers Do the Work
Let farmers place offers directly through your app, no phone call required. It’s convenient for them and saves time for your team.
ROI Tip: Digital Make Offer saves about $1.14 per offer in labor and helps capture bushels that might otherwise be missed due to limited hours or missed calls.
By following these steps, your agribusiness can make a measurable difference in farmer satisfaction, team efficiency, and overall harvest success — all powered by Bushel.
