SILO - Seed Conditioner and Dealership Software

Overview

SILO, short for Seed Invoicing and Logistics Operation, is a powerful software application designed specifically to meet the needs of agricultural seed conditioners and dealers. This provides advantages over a more general-purpose software application, which, in the majority of cases, will not be able to completely fulfill the desired informational needs of a conditioning plant or dealership.

For conditioners, SILO can track seed through the entire process from grower bins and receiving to bagging and shipment. For dealers, SILO can track seed through the entire process from orders to grower delivery. For organizations that operate both a conditioning plant and a dealership, SILO can seamlessly integrate these two separate business processes into a cohesive operation.

The functionality provided by SILO will allow complete insight into your cleaning and sales operation. Here are some of the great features and capabilities provided by SILO that will benefit conditioners and dealers.
