Granular Reviews

For years I looked for a farm management software that could help me reach my goal of knowing field level profitability on my farm. Granular has been a game changer and allows me to make smart financial decisions based off of good information. Granular’s ability to generate reports and modify reports is very impressive and provides valuable decision making information. Each new growing season adds new layers of good decision making information. I’m also very impressed by their customer service whenever a question arises. They are very knowledgeable about the Ag industry and their product, but also timely and helpful in resolving any problem or question. Granular is a great product with great people and a great team behind the product.

Setup is always a daunting task, but the customer service and support made it as seamless as possible.

Granular as a game-changer! Wow, Brant! Thank you for the great feedback. We take our customers' feedback, suggested areas of improvement and anything we can do to make farming even a bit easier, to heart. We're so happy that you now feel confident to make smart financial decisions based off of good data. Thank you for your continued business!

I have really enjoyed using the Granular mobile app. It is simple enough to use that we have been able to train the retired folks, we have help us during harvest, to use it. We enter our harvested totals and it makes it easy to double check that we are not missing elevator tickets based on what we harvested. It also nice to use during the task manager portion to send out work orders to employees. I can search fields and tasks and push work orders to different employees from my phone when I am out in the field. It results in less confusion and wasted time.

When searching for tasks to send out as work orders, the app can be slow in pulling them up.

Kody - it's great to hear that the Granular software has proven to be accessible to all generations, and from anywhere! Thank you for your review and for your business!

We initially purchased the product to eliminate paper crop plans. The primary purpose of the program for our business is an ERP for our crop production team. It helps assign tasks, or work orders, to our team members and get them going in the right direction. In addition, it allows us to easily capture field data - from inputs applied to time spent on a task by field.

We are currently struggling with users being able to data enter receipts and returns of inputs for inventory management (there is no functionality for this). Currently, all input inventory tracking has to be done in the office using invoices and paper tracking system by team members.

Thanks for sharing your experience with our digital tools, Eric. We're glad to know Granular has helped you capture field data, eliminate paper crop plans, and manage your team efficiently with digital work orders. As you know, we're continually working to improve our products based on customer feedback. We shared your note about input inventory tracking with our team. Thank you!

It has all the information I look for on a daily basis about my crop production in one place. It can be accessed from anywhere- not just in the office- which is a benefit when I'm in the field during the growing season. Multiple people can have access and field workers find it helpful for following tasks.

It can be very overwhelming to know how to get the information and figures you want to see to help make decisions. Not everyone on the farm has "bought into" it yet, so data still needs to be hand entered, which can be cumbersome.

We're so happy you chose Granular to be the one farm management system that brings your data together. We aim to help farms ditch all the spreadsheets and get the most important information to the farm organized into one central place!

The Customer Success Managers stay connected to you and your farming operation that you get the most out of your Granular subscription. They meet with you - virtually - and ask the question to see what you need to make the Granular product useful for your operation.

it takes some time to catch on the the details of the software - like any software system - but once it clicks with you - it is very useful.

Paul - It sounds like you've been able to capture a lot of value from Granular! It's great to hear that our Customer Success team has been so helpful to you! We like to think that our CS team is a differentiator in the industry! Thank you for being a customer of Granular!

I like using the harvest transfer data the most. It helps when reconciling with the elevator. I am learning more each month and year the various features available. I like the ease of access anywhere whether through the mobile app or website. It helps when reconciling chemicals used and splits are concerned. I really like the planting reports that are available to review corn planting.

I wish some reports were easier to generate rather than having to export the CSV file and then filter and sort with excel. I also struggle with my spray operators to enter data. The mobile app should be more user friendly when spray operators are entering data.

Hi Allison--Thanks for your honest review; I've passed along your feedback to our product development team. Despite the learning curve and some of your challenges, we're so happy to hear that you're finding value and Granular helpful to your operation. Thank you for being a Granular customer!

In my honest opinion this software is second to none! We look at it daily and are constantly finding more uses for it and more tools within it. The profit analyzer and task manager get used the most.

Right now the biggest dislike is information doesn't flow back and forth between business and insights.

Thank you for your honest and kind review, Jason! We love working with you and hearing how Granular is able to help you be successful! We've gotten that feedback a lot about the information flow between Business and Insights, and have passed it along to our Product Development team. Thank you for making Granular your first dollars spent!

With its advanced features like profit analyzer, weather forecasting, and monitoring of crop production, it helps us to overcome risk and uncertainties. The application is great to discover bottlenecks of farm and take required actions to make the farm profitable. Additionally, I could keep a close watch on-farm inventories, labors, expenses, sales and other resources. I really appreciate the accurate and insightful statistics that it offers.

No unlikely features. But it takes a little extra effort and time to learn and implement it. I want futher more documentations related to application and its features.

The ability to view on a daily basis were profitability stands

So far I have not found many negatives. If anything, the software is very robust and just takes time to learn

Thank you for sharing your experience with Granular, Kirk! We're proud to be part of your team.

It provides a central location for our daily operation. It provides our companies management team with tools that help guide them in making daily to annual decisions. It provides integration from other software that is used by our company.

It can be difficult to maneuver through for users/operators if they are not using it on a regular basis. We have problems with operators saying that they have a hard time using the application, may need additional training. Would like to have an area to enter actual costs for crop insurance, insurance, govt. payments, etc for the year. Would like to see an area that provides the ability to enter crop insurance units.

Cost tracking across my fields, and being able to pull reports down.

Too many workarounds for potato production.

Adam -- Glad you find our Customer Success team as helpful as you do. We sure love that you're a Granular customer! Thank you for your business!

The functionality, we grow 12 - 15 different crops a year and Granular allows us to track the profitability of each one.

The initial set up time, and the learning curve, took longer than I would have liked. However it was worthwhile to achieve the results that we are now enjoying.

Garth--Thank you for taking the time to review Granular. We're glad to hear that the results of setting your operation up in Granular was worth it!

I use AgStudio to manage our farming operation. The ability it has to micro manage your entire operation is the best part. The program is capable of many different things.

It is difficult to navigate through at times. The amount of clicks it takes to get to where you are going is sometime frustrating. Data upload isn't consistent and difficult.

That's the kind of feedback we love to hear, Andrew! We think that being able to micromanage an operation is incredibly important, especially in today's environment! Thank you for your business, and we hope that you find the value you were looking for out of it!

Vision of management Work orders Live costing my field Contract tracking Inventory tracking Grain ticket entering by trucks Input benchmarking Inventory valuation Profit analyzer by field

As anything implementation takes team buy in. Most farms used to excel and paper so have to have management and team member dedication to convert

I love the ability to plan for the next year right down to the seed variety we will use. the ability to keep track of grain contracts and inventory has also impacted or farm. This software will make our succession process or transition process much easier.

I am still in my first year of using granular so this might not be how i feel in the future, but it seems like one really doesn't want to make mistakes on the early stages of data input. It can really through the numbers off. It would also be nice to be able to have more than one crop planted on a field.

Great feedback, we'll get this off to our product team to see what we can do about having more than one crop per field! Thank you for your review, Aaron. We love that Granular can help you plan and be more confident in your decisions!

The ability to track, sort, and know down to each individual acres profitability!!!!

After 5 years of growth with Granular, I have no cons.

Granular has all the features you need and some didn't know you need. The support to get up and running is fantastic. it could be easy to forget to use and seem like too much work to get caught up. but the support keeps you useing and that helps to keep things moveing foward.

can seem overwhelming to get started especialy for larger operations.

Matt--Thanks for your great review! I think the best part of your review is that we have all the features you need and some you didn't know you needed! We hope that means that we think of (most everything) that's needed in a farm management software tool to keep your operation organized and understanding field-level profitability!

Lots of continual innovation and refining of features. They are always adding new things and trying to improve old ones. Really like being able to track grain inventory quickly along with being able to review costs, revenues, and breakevens quickly.

Integrations is sometimes tough for us for the equipment we use.

WOW! Thank you for such a positive review, Brian! We feel so fortunate to have long time customers like you using Granular software!

I really like seeing the farms individually vs as a whole operation so I know where we need to improve as a business

I'm not a huge fan of office work so being this was my first year i had a lot of time putting it all together but it is definitely worth the time

Thank you for putting in the time to get your data into Granular! And we're so happy to hear that you feel like you are supported by our team. Thank you for being a Granular customer!

Customer support is superior to all others.

Costly. Priced higher than competitors.

Granular business has been valuable in tracking and monitoring production expenses along with establishing profit targets/ potential. All field records are transferred directly from equipment into software allowing for detailed analysis. The support staff/ team is supportive and made the setup process easy. Customer support team is available and attentive to any question that arises.

I would like to have integration with granular insights. I would like to incorporate production history to help assist in crop insurance determinations.

Thanks for your review, Dale! Great feedback that we've shared with our Product team. Appreciate your business and working with you!

I really like how easy it is to input information on Granulars Task Manager page. When I had any questions or needed help Granulars team was always quick to respond and very accommodating to my needs. They make it easy to customize the software.

No cons really. Its all very straightforward and staff is very helpful. It is time consuming on my end, but thats to be expected when running, maintaining, managing a business.

Hi Megan--Thanks for your great review! We're so glad you find the Task Manager to be useful and our Customer Success team to be so responsive!

Keeps our operation focused on tasks during busy seasons. The dashboard feature is very helpful in making real time marketing decisions.

We didn’t have any issues with the software.

I like the profit analyzer and the ability to assign tasks to employees so that there is some organization to each season.

I dislike that it has been such a challenge to get employees to take a couple minutes to utilize the app during work. Also to get employees to enter the necessary data.

The record keeping is great. It keeps things nice and neat

Sometimes it’s difficult to find where you need to go to make a change on something
