Designed for buying direct from farmers.
NorthScope’s Grower Accounting functionality is specifically designed for buying direct from farmers. Some features include:
Real Time Grower Balances
Use the grower dashboard for real time visibility to each grower’s posted, unposted, and net outstanding balance. Drill through from there directly to their transactions.
Grower Settlements
Process grower payments for one or more growers separately or as part of an AP payment batch.
Automated Taxes & Deductions
Easily configure all deductions that show on a ticket and all taxes whether they are deducted from the ticket or accrued on behalf of the company.
Built in Reporting & Analysis
Built in reports and inquiries that provide easy access to all your grower, field, and crop data in formats that allow you to quickly analyze all your transactions.
Correct & Re-Price Tickets
Easily correct posted tickets or re-price tickets in bulk to create new ticket versions. New versions calculate any differences and post them to the grower accounts.
Traceability
Create inventory from posted tickets. Use any combination of grower, field, or crop information for lot tracing and assign quality test results and certifications to your lots.
Save Staff Time
An easy-to-use interface designed with seasonal staff in mind that gives you access to your system from anywhere.
Transactions Specific to Grower Deliveries
Grower tickets that can start with either net delivered weight or can be used to manage the entire process from initial inbound truck weight, tare weight, and grading of a sample.
Generic business software doesn’t understand your fruit, nut, &/or vegetable business, NorthScope was built for it.
