"We ran out of our best variety, and we're sitting on stock nobody wants."
Production is planned from last year's numbers and scattered spreadsheets.
The cost: lost sales, money tied up in ageing stock, and missed production windows.
Know what to produce, stock and sell next season.
Operations systems for seed and agriculture companies, built inside Excel and the Microsoft tools you already use. In English and Spanish.
Rasmus Kampmann, Power BI Consultant for seed and agriculture companies. The call is with me. You get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Sound familiar?
"We sold seed we didn't have."
Stock numbers live in several files and nobody fully trusts them. Lot quality shows up too late.
The cost: failed deliveries, complaints and wasted seed.
"Only one person understands how our files work."
The business runs on disconnected spreadsheets and manual re-entry.
The cost: hours every week, errors, and a ceiling on growth.
Start with one problem. Grow from there.
Production Planner
Your sales forecast per variety, set against your released stock and turned into a production plan: the need per month, with shortage warnings while there is still time to act. Your forecast stays in the sheet you already keep. The plan is calculated from it, so the two can't drift apart.
Stock & Lot Control
Live stock per variety, lot and location, calculated from every movement since the last count. Germination tests and retest alerts. A clear view of what can be sold today, lot by lot. Counts are typed in a sheet or scanned on a phone. Stock is calculated from them, never re-typed.
Operations System
Orders, international invoices, production partner quality data and reporting in one connected system. Or only the parts you need. Excel stays for bulk entry and for reading the numbers your own way. Approvals, invoices and the audit trail live in the system.
What this fixes in Excel: numbers re-typed between sheets, two files that disagree, formulas only one person understands, and a workbook nobody dares to change.
Prefer to keep it simple? A season planning retainer keeps your forecast and production plan up to date every season.
Each offer is a fixed project with a scope agreed in writing before we start. No hourly billing.
Built around how you already work
- We start with a short call about how you plan, track stock and sell today, and where it breaks.
- I build on the tools you already use. Excel stays your front end. Behind it, the Microsoft tools (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate) connect your data and keep it in sync automatically. Your accounting software stays as it is.
- You get a system your team can use without me, documented and handed over properly.
- AI where it helps. Your team can ask the data questions in plain language and get an alert when a lot is due for a retest or a variety is running short.
Built by someone who works inside a seed company
I'm Rasmus Kampmann, a Power BI Consultant based in Odense, Denmark.
- I started in marketing and operations at a family-owned seed company with operations in Europe and Latin America, and visited its production in Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico. Today I build and run its operations system: stock, lots, production, quality tests, forecasting and invoicing.
- I know the seed business from the inside: varieties, seasons, production partners, distributors and export markets.
- I work in English and fluent Spanish, so Latin American teams, growers and distributors can use the system too.
No cure, no second payment
We agree the scope and the acceptance test in writing before we start. The first payment covers the work done. If what we agreed is not met, you don't pay the second half.
Questions
Do we have to stop using Excel?
No. Excel stays your front end. The system connects your files and data behind it.
Is this an ERP?
No. It's a system built around how you already work, without the cost and rollout of a full ERP.
What about our data?
Your data stays in your own Microsoft environment. I agree data access with you before starting.
Do you work outside Denmark?
Yes. I work remotely with companies in Europe, the Americas and Latin America, in English or Spanish.
How long does a project take?
It depends on scope. We agree a timeline in the written proposal before starting.
