for agriculture.

Three solutions, AI built in

Start where the numbers matter most.

Each solution is pre-built on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI and adapted to the season, the packhouse and the export week, so you start from a working base rather than a blank page.

From the Producer outward

Primary and Secondary Agriculture, connected.

Agriculture is one value chain with the Producer at its centre. Today the information that runs it sits in silos: on the farm, in the packhouse, at the exporter, at the bank. AG One joins it up so every link works from the same trusted data.

Producers

Farms, grower groups, estates and co-operatives. Operations data, harvest and yield planning, and a fair way to trade.

Inputs & Services

Seed, fertilizer, crop protection, fuel, equipment and agronomy. A direct channel to Producers and clear demand visibility.

Processing & Packing

Packhouses, mills, processors and cold stores. Intake, pack-out, grade, claims and throughput, planned against inbound supply.

Logistics & Storage

Transport, warehousing, ports and cold chain. Load visibility tied to the trade taking place across the chain.

Markets & Trade

Exporters, marketers, agents and importers. Export planning, market and port statistics, and producer reporting.

Finance & Advisory

Agri-finance, banks, insurers and advisors. Trusted production and trade data to lend, insure and advise against.

Agri Data & AI services

One data foundation from farm to market.

Consulting and managed services built for agriculture, drawing on the Element-5 and TrueNorth Group teams, the Unified Data Model and proven Fabric architecture. Farm, packhouse, export, trade and finance data connect rather than fragment.

  • Farm operations. Consolidated data across blocks, orchards, herds, fields and seasons.
  • Harvest planning and yields. Estimates, actuals, variance and season-on-season comparison.
  • Packhouse metrics. Intake, pack-out, grade, class, claims and throughput.
  • Export planning and statistics. Volumes by market, port, vessel and week, and producer returns.
  • Data platform and governance. Microsoft Fabric, Power BI semantic models and secure connectors your teams can trust.

Why AG One

Grounded in agriculture. Built on proven platforms.

Producer first

Every solution starts with what the Producer needs. The rest of the value chain is served in relation to the farm.

Your data stays yours

The Producer owns their data. We protect it and share it only where the Producer agrees.

Built on the group

Backed by Element-5 and delivered with TrueNorth Group, with partnerships across Microsoft and Anthropic.

Plain language, traceable numbers

No jargon and no hype. Every figure in a report can be traced back to its source.

Better decisions at every link.

Tell us where your data sits today and what you need to see this season. We will show you where to start.
