Grain elevators are stuck in app-retirement hell

A mobile operating system for grain elevators that replaces scattered ticket workflows and retired apps.

The opportunity isn’t “another ag app” — it’s the migration layer when legacy grain systems get retired or rebranded.

THE MARKET

This niche shows up in workflow searches like “scale tickets,” “weight slips,” “grain market apps,” plus direct product churn around ADM Farmview retirement and myGavilon becoming myViterra. The cluster has 51 keywords, 735,529.4 average volume, and only 0.22 average competition.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Confusing navigation”,“Hard to complete tasks”,“Outdated design"
THE GAP

Current tools are mostly company-specific and fragmented, with tiny review counts and weak continuity when systems change. Farmers and elevator ops need one shared place for contracts, scale tickets, bids, and account transitions.

THE BUILD

Ship a replacement layer for grain-ticket workflows: capture scale tickets, link them to deliveries and settlements, and import old account data from retired systems. Sell first to mid-sized elevators and co-ops that are actively moving users off ADM Farmview, myGavilon, and similar legacy portals.

WEEKEND MVP

A mobile upload/OCR inbox that turns a scale ticket photo into a searchable delivery record.
