Mobile Offers for
Bushel Trade™ and Bushel Mobile™
What You Gain With Mobile Offers
Increased Convenience
Rather than making an offer over the phone or in person, producers are able to view cash bids and make offers on their smartphone. This let’s them skip the line, getting their offers in quickly and outside of business hours.
Time Savings
Reviewing and deciding offers online is much more efficient than over a phone call or in person. Mobile offers also help your team save time, which can be used to find more competitive offers or focus on other big tasks for that day.
Greater Flexibility
Whether producers are working through Bushel Mobile or contacting their grain buyer directly, all offer information still links through Bushel Trade and shows up within the Bushel Mobile application. This allows producers to make and manage offers outside of office hours, when it’s most convenient for them.
Reduced Risk of Errors
Built-in confirmation step within the Bushel Mobile application helps producers and originators ensure their offers are entered correctly. Producers can also withdraw any pending offers if they spot any incorrect information. Originators and merchandisers can verify offer information in Bushel Trade.
How Mobile Offers Work
Mobile offers work via a secured link between a Bushel Mobile application and Bushel Trade. Here is how the process flows from your standpoint.
- Within Bushel Mobile, a producer reviews cash bids for a specific location, such as a grain elevator, and selects “Make Offer” on a bid.
- Producer enters the offer type (cash, HTA, basis or flat), quantity, price and any additional notes for that location’s originator or merchandiser.
- Producer confirms order and submits it to the facility.
- Offer arrives into the location’s Bushel Trade offer management system, where merchandisers and originators can review it. They can also choose to activate or hedge offers automatically.
- Producer receives notifications when their order is active, working, or when it is filled.
- Producer receives and signs eSign electronic contract to confirm the transaction.
