ARA + Smartwyre Retail Profit Health Assessment
New ARA Member Benefit
ARA and Smartwyre have established a partnership designed to help agricultural retailers gain clearer insight into profitability, improve supplier program management, and make more informed buying and selling decisions.
Smartwyre, an ARA member, is a software and data company serving the agricultural inputs industry, focused on modernizing the commercial side of the agricultural input supply chain—the network of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that supply farmers with products like crop protection chemicals, seed, and fertilizer. Smartwyre allows these participants to share and manage commercial data better.
ARA members can take advantage of Smartwyre's complimentary assessment of their organization’s profit health, along with services and technology designed to support financial operations. In addition, ARA members also receive a 20 percent discount on executed contracts.
