About
Bushel is a comprehensive software platform purpose-built for the agriculture industry, serving both agribusinesses and farmers. It brings together a suite of integrated tools that eliminate friction across common workflows—from grain origination and trade to payments and relationship management. For agribusinesses, Bushel provides a powerful CRM to centralize customer insights, a Customer Portal for self-service account access, a Commercial Portal for proof-of-delivery on grain sales, and Bushel Pay to digitize financial transactions. Teams can manage grain trade with risk mitigation tools, host and manage their agribusiness websites, and access professional services for custom solutions. Both SMB and enterprise tiers are available, with enterprise solutions offering deeper integrations into existing systems. For farmers, Bushel Farm is a mobile app for managing farm operations and finances anywhere, while Bushel Wallet enables digital payments and direct deposit setup. The platform strengthens the farmer-agribusiness relationship by simplifying communication and centralizing data. Bushel is designed for grain traders, processors, ag retailers, and farm operators who want to move more grain with less effort, reduce days sales outstanding, and build stronger business relationships. With real-time system status monitoring, a knowledge base, and webinar resources, Bushel supports teams at every stage of the agricultural workflow.
