21 Jan 2025
Agvance has launched SKY Grain, a web-based solution designed to enhance the grain management process for agribusinesses in the grain industry and to be the go-to resource for grain merchandisers, accountants and bookkeepers. Building on the foundation of the Scale Ticket Level Management (STLM) Agvance grain solution, Agvance SKY Grain offers a wealth of new features while retaining the core capabilities that users rely on.
“SKY Grain will retain all the functionality you have come to rely on from Agvance Grain. Every feature, every capability that has made our product a key part of your operations remains intact,” says Garrett Sparks, SSI Product Manager. “However, we didn't just maintain the status quo, we’ve listened to your feedback, analyzed the market trends, and worked tirelessly to enhance the user experience, boost performance, and add new, innovative features.”
Agribusiness grain operations and their customers will find that SKY Grain meets current needs and opens new possibilities. It provides streamlined customer account access and the ability to manage futures transactions, basis, and bids. Even more features are in development. Users benefit from the interconnected features of Agvance SKY and the exciting developments in SKY Grain are setting the industry pace.
Key Features and Enhancements:
Customer Details at Your Fingertips
SKY Grain allows users to quickly access and manage customer accounts in Grain View by marking frequently used customers as favorites. Both favorite and recent customers display at the top of the customer list. Account details, including regular and prepay balances, unapplied cash and cash advance information, purchase contracts, settlements, offer contracts, and sales contracts are easily accessible for a streamlined experience. When adding a new contract, SKY Grain saves time by pre-populating customer information.
Grain View organizes grain inventory by disposition, providing clearer insights into purchasing strategies and supply chain management. This feature helps improve communication with customers and enhances transaction efficiency.
Grid View for Simplified Workflow
Like other Agvance SKY apps, SKY Grain features an intuitive grid layout that simplifies workflow. Tasks such as converting purchase offers to contracts or adding transactions from futures contracts are quicker and more straightforward. This simplification helps speed up the process when a customer’s offer hits their price and needs to be converted to contract. You can also add purchase and sale transactions directly from the futures contract grid. With less steps throughout the process, each task is simplified. The grid also allows for batch printing or deleting multiple contracts.
A Step Forward in Agvance Technology
According to Garrett Sparks, SSI Product Manager, SKY Grain not only retains the functionality users are familiar with but also introduces new tools that set the pace for the industry. The app is designed to improve efficiency, enhance user experience, and provide greater flexibility for managing grain operations.

With these innovations, Agvance continues to push the boundaries of agricultural technology, providing its users with innovative solutions to meet current needs and future challenges.
