Farm co-ops, and the right person at each one.

Oxpium builds the list of co-ops in your region, finds the general manager and the person who buys, tells you when one of them makes a move, and runs the campaign.

[01]The list

The co-ops in your line of business, from the local elevator to the regional system.

A single-location elevator and a regional co-op with sixty locations don't buy the same things, or the same way. Tell the agent what they handle, the region, the size: it searches public sources, business listings, professional databases and co-op websites, and removes the duplicates.

  • What they handle

    Grain, agronomy, energy, feed, dairy, cotton, fruit: the agent reads each co-op's website and keeps only the ones in your line of business.

  • A real headcount

    A headcount measured in professional databases, 20 to 500 employees for example, to reach the local elevator or the regional system.

  • Locations

    Elevators, agronomy centers, fuel stations, farm stores: business listings and the co-op's website show how many locations it runs, and where.

  • A profile

    Hiring a location manager, running a farm store, just merged with a neighbor: criteria you combine in the same sentence, the way you'd say it.

[02]Enrichment

The general manager, and the department head who actually buys.

At a co-op, the board is made of farmer members; the general manager runs the business, and a grain operations manager, an agronomy manager or a location manager buys day to day. The agent finds each one by job title, reads the co-op's website for its locations and lines of business, and verifies every email before adding it.

  • The general manager

    Their name, a verified email and a cell when there is one: the GM is the one who takes capital projects to the board and the members.

  • The right department head

    Grain operations, agronomy, safety, HR, energy: the agent searches for the job title that matches what you sell, one column per person.

  • Locations and storage

    Elevators, agronomy centers, farm stores, storage capacity when it's published: the agent reads the website and writes down what it shows.

  • Lines of business

    Grain, agronomy, feed, energy, retail: enough to talk to each co-op about its own business and not the one down the road.

[03]Signals

Automations that keep up with the co-ops, and tell you which one to call.

Once the list is built, Oxpium keeps going without you. Each automation reruns its search on schedule and adds what just changed to the top of the list: an open role, a new general manager, a merger vote or new storage announced. Those are your signals, and they show up on their own.

2 co-ops on the list posted an opening since yesterday.

  • Hiring

    Every morning, an automation flags the co-ops that post an opening for a location manager, a merchandiser, a safety lead or harvest help.

  • New general managers

    Every month, another one flags the co-ops whose general manager or department head just changed: a newcomer often reviews the vendors.

  • Mergers and new sites

    Every Monday, the agent rereads the news on co-op websites and flags merger votes, new elevators, new agronomy centers and acquisitions.

  • Your own watch

    Any watch you can write in one sentence, like storage expansions before harvest: the agent reruns it on schedule and tells you what changed.

[04]The campaign

A campaign that follows the co-op's season.

From wheat harvest in early summer through fall harvest, the elevators run around the clock and nobody books a meeting. Capital projects get decided over the winter, ahead of the next crop. The campaign writes and calls in the morning, during office hours, from your own mailbox and your browser, and stops as soon as someone replies.

Subject storage bushels at co_op

Hi first_name, With storage bushels across locations locations, checking grain temperature and moisture often still means a probe and a drive, site by site. We install bin cables that report to one dashboard, with an alert before grain starts to heat. Could we talk before you plan for next harvest? signature

Each variable is a column of your list, filled in by the agent.

  • Outside harvest

    Launch between November and April: emails and calls go out Tuesday to Thursday mornings, when managers are in the office.

  • Calls from the browser

    You call from your browser, with nothing to install. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarized right in the list.

  • Tailored messages

    Every email is built from the list's columns, the locations, the storage, the open role, and an agent step rereads the co-op's news.

  • Stops on reply

    As soon as a GM or a department head replies, the campaign stops for their co-op. You take it from there, and no follow-up goes out.
