CHICAGO, IL – November 15, 2022 – Barchart, a commodity data and technology leader trusted by over 600 agribusinesses representing over 2,000 grain facilities, and EFC Systems, a leading provider of ERP accounting and digital agronomy solutions for ag retailer/service providers, have announced a new partnership.

Under the first phase of this partnership, real-time grain accounting information from EFC Systems’ Merchant Ag platform will be available within Barchart’s award-winning AgTech platform, Marketplace Apps. Data from Merchant Ag will flow between Barchart’s producer-facing mobile apps built for agribusinesses and grain merchandising workflows built into cmdtyView, Barchart’s leading trading and analytics platform for commodities.

The powerful integration of EFC Systems’ Merchant Ag platform into Barchart’s digital tools allows agribusinesses to engage more effectively with their growers. In addition, the optimized integration streamlines grain trading workflows for agribusinesses and provides them with increased operational efficiency.

“Simplifying the technology stack used in ag retail saves time and improves accuracy for ag retailer. Partnerships like this are the center of data interoperability, which drives a more efficient and intelligent supply chain.”
