New partnership brings comprehensive, global produce commodity data to the Procurant Connect marketplace.

WATSONVILLE, Calif.--()--Procurant, a cloud-based software company transforming the fresh food supply chain, today announced a partnership with Agtools, a provider of data analytics services designed especially for the food supply chain. Agtools serves as a global data platform, aggregating data from official government agencies and education institutions in 113 countries, including the United States, covering more than 500 specialty crops and commodities.

"This partnership with Agtools supports our goal to enhance innovation and value for buyers and sellers of produce on the Procurant platform. By leveraging advanced analytics and insights, we can help streamline our customers’ day-to-day activities around forecasting and purchase orders,” said Ray Connelly, Vice President of Strategy, Procurant.

Agtools is the first third-party solution available through Procurant Connect, a unique application and services marketplace on the Procurant One platform. Procurant Connect allows users to integrate external data sources and features such as Agtools into their Procurant account. With the Agtools add-on, users create a centralized hub for accessing up-to-the-minute commodity data. Agtools enables access to more than 70 types of commodity-specific information, including:

  • Pricing (FOB, Retail, Terminal)
  • Volume statistics
  • Weather analytics
  • Quality metrics

“Everyone in the industry is concerned about delivering or receiving commodities based on POs. With this partnership, Procurant and Agtools can bring unique, color-coded alerts to buyers and sellers based on USDA standards and the phenological cycles of plants. The alerts enable customers to view potential threats to crops before they arise, and to quickly see the probability of receiving orders and the expected quality,” said Martha Montoya, CEO, Agtools.
