AgVend Unveils Nexus: Ag Retail’s Gateway to a More Connected, Dynamic Supply Chain
New suite of tools to connect ag retailers to their 3rd party partners, simplifying operations, enhancing connectivity, and improving efficiency
Austin, TX – December 2, 2024 – AgVend, the leading provider of digital enablement solutions for ag retailers, announces the launch of Nexus, a powerful suite of tools designed to place retailers at the center of a fully integrated, digitally connected supply chain. As the connective hub between their customers, distributors, and suppliers, Nexus enables ag retailers to maximize their core AgVend platform by eliminating the need to switch between systems, streamlining manual and complicated workflows, and delivering an exceptional customer experience.
“Nexus takes the foundational power of AgVend to the next level by serving as the “App Store” for our Partner Retailers. Much like how the App Store transformed the smartphone into a customizable powerhouse, Nexus connects retailers to an expansive ecosystem of complementary tools, services, and integrations with their preferred 3rd party partners,” said Alexander Reichert CEO and Co-Founder at AgVend.
At its core, Nexus digitizes and reduces the complexity of the dynamic ag supply chain. The product suite includes:
Nexus Market: Collaborate to drive grower sales with hyper-focused, multi-channel campaigns.
Nexus Procure: Streamline procurement with online orders, payments, delivery tracking, and centralized billing
Nexus Finance: Embed financing at the point of action to enable easy loan access and utilization.
Nexus Forecast: Improve forecasting logistics and decision-making through real-time inventory sharing and collaborative planning.
Nexus Educate: Centralize digital product assets to equip teams and customers with the most relevant information and data.
Nexus Connect: Enhance data sharing with immediate exchanges to standardize information between parties for seamless insights.
“I was excited to try the Nexus Procure tool in our Team Hub,” says Harlan Asmus, Co-Owner and Crop Protection Department Manager for Asmus Farm Supply, Inc. “My goal was to see if it was as good as other digital ordering platforms that we use. I have seen immediate benefits, from faster order processes and increased visibility to better inventory management and improved supplier communication, all of which ultimately improve our customer service back to the grower.”
AgVend’s commitment to bolster the ag retail industry with technology serves as the north star for the development of Nexus.
“Our mission at AgVend is to use technology to build a more resilient and dynamic ag supply chain by putting the ag retailer and their grower customer at the center of the equation,” said Reichert. “Nexus is a testament to that commitment. By streamlining workflows with our retailers’ 3rd party partners we’re creating the foundation for a more profitable future for our Partner Retailers and the growers they serve.”
In addition to advancing their industry-leading Digital Enablement Platforms, AgVend plans ongoing investment in new Nexus products and increasing the number of manufacturers, distributors, and other third-party connections available to their Partner Retailers. Those open to supporting ag retail by equipping them with the tools and information they need to thrive in today’s new normal should contact AgVend to learn how to become an AgVend Nexus partner.
