BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE GURUS
Transforming Agricultural Data Into Decisions
Your ag data is scattered across ERPs, spreadsheets, and line-of-business systems that don’t talk to each other. We connect it, visualize it, and turn it into the clarity your operation needs to act faster.
Why Agricultural Operations Choose BIG
Built for Agriculture
We don’t adapt generic BI tools for ag. Our team understands the specific challenges across agronomy, energy, feed, grain, retail, and financials because that’s all we do.
Works With What You Have
We’ve built BI solutions for more than a dozen ag-focused platforms. If we can access your data, we can transform it. No rip-and-replace required.
Your Operation, Your Solution
On-premises, cloud, or SaaS. Every solution we build is designed around how your organization actually makes decisions, not how a template thinks you should.
You Shape What We Build
Innovation roundtables, steering committees, and regular collaboration mean our clients directly influence the product roadmap. Your challenges drive our development.
WHAT WE BUILD
Dashboards, Visualizations, and Reporting That Actually Get Used
Tools that don’t make someone’s job easier collect dust. Everything we build is designed to be opened daily, not presented quarterly.
Harvest Analysis
Moisture, volume, and quality trends across every location and every season.
Marketing Summary
Grower segmentation, bushel volume trends, and price-per-bushel indexing in one view. Know which relationships are growing and which need attention.
Tank Map & Maintenance
Every tank and every delivery zone, plotted on a map using GPS coordinates with customer details.
Customer Analysis
Fertilizer, seed, and chemical purchase history by customer across five years. Your salespeople walk into every conversation already knowing the story.
Nutrient Growth Opportunities
Actual-to-Target nutrient volumes by region and account. See exactly where the growth is, who’s underperforming, and which customers are ready for a conversation.
Mixing Time Analysis
Batch-level ingredient tracking down to the lbs-per-second. Feed manufacturing teams see exactly what’s running, where potential bottlenecks exist, and when throughput is slipping.

HOW IT WORKS
From First Conversation to Live Dashboard
Every engagement follows the same proven process. No black boxes, no surprises, no six-month silence before you see anything.
01
Listen
We start by understanding your operation, your data sources, and the decisions you’re trying to make better. No assumptions. Just questions.
02
Connect
We examine your data landscape: ERPs, spreadsheets, line-of-business systems. From there, we build the integrations that bring it all into one place. We work with what you have.
03
Build
Dashboards, visualizations, and reporting tools designed around the decisions your team actually makes. You see working prototypes early.
04
Evolve
Your operation changes. Your tools should too. Through ongoing collaboration and direct client input, what we build keeps getting better.
Without insight into data, people make decisions based on instinct, speculation, or prevalent theory. People are at risk of acting on biases or false assumptions.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What You’re Probably Wondering
Q: What ERPs and systems do you work with?
A: We’ve built BI solutions for more than a dozen ag-focused ERPs, manufacturing systems, and line-of-business platforms. If your data is accessible, we can work with it. We don’t require you to switch systems, we build on top of what you already have.
Q: How long does a typical engagement take?
A: It depends on scope, but most clients see working dashboards within weeks, not months. We show you prototypes early so you can give feedback before we build the final product.
Q: Do we need to be a certain size to work with BIG?
A: We work with operations ranging from single-location cooperatives to multi-state enterprises. The common thread isn’t size. It’s that you have data you’re not getting enough value from.
Q: What does pricing look like?
A: Every engagement is scoped to the specific needs of your operation, so there’s no one-size-fits-all number. We’ll give you a clear proposal after the initial conversation so you know exactly what you’re investing in before anything starts.
Q: What happens after the initial build?
A: We don’t build it and disappear. Through steering committees, innovation roundtables, and ongoing support, your tools evolve as your operation does. Most of our client relationships are measured in years, not projects.
Q: Is our data secure?
A: We build on-premises, cloud, and SaaS solutions depending on your requirements. Your data stays under your control, and we follow the security standards your organization requires.
