Stevens Seeds Inventory System

A custom operations platform that modernizes how a seed dealership manages pricing, orders, deliveries, returns, replants, inventory, profitability and year-end reconciliation — with an integrated AI assistant that answers questions and completes the paperwork.

The challenge

Spreadsheets couldn't keep up with how seed sales actually happen

A seed dealership's season is messy by nature: orders change, customers pick up different products than they ordered, deliveries happen in pieces, returns come back after the fact, and replants need to be tracked separately from revenue activity.

Pricing, orders, deliveries and inventory lived across spreadsheets, paper forms and memory. Inventory was hard to trust, answering a simple customer question meant digging through files, and year-end adjustments took days to untangle.

Off-the-shelf tools didn't fit either — a rigid order-to-delivery workflow assumes what was ordered is exactly what goes out the door.

The system

Sales intent, separated from physical movement

The platform separates what a customer intended to buy from what actually happened. Orders capture sales intent; deliveries, returns and replants record real product movement throughout the season. The result is an accurate, auditable view of customer activity.

Every record feeds a live inventory position and a year-end reconciliation that surfaces credits, over-deliveries and invoice adjustments automatically — no more days of manual spreadsheet work.

On top of the structured database sits an integrated AI assistant that answers questions about inventory, customers and profitability — and completes deliveries, returns and replants from plain-language instructions.

Who it's built for

One platform, four kinds of users.

Designed for seed dealerships, agricultural retailers and farm supply businesses that need better control over seasonal pricing, order management, inventory movement and reconciliation.

Sales staff

Access current pricing, create customer orders, review customer history and understand profitability — without relying on outdated spreadsheets.

Operations staff

Track incoming shipments, deliveries, returns and replants in a structured system that reflects real product movement.

Management

Monitor sales, inventory, margins, customer activity, discounts, treatment mix, crop mix and year-end reconciliation status.

Accounting & reconciliation

Compare ordered, delivered, returned and replanted units to identify invoice adjustments, credits, over-deliveries and non-revenue replant activity.

What was built

Eight systems in one platform.

Centralized pricing

Season-based retail and break-even pricing in an Excel-style product-by-treatment grid — one read-only source of truth for the sales team.

Customer & order management

Multi-line orders capturing product, treatment, seed size, package type, discounts and per-unit profit — simple entry, structured data.

Delivery tracking

Deliveries logged independently from orders, so partial pickups, product swaps and extra units reflect what actually left inventory.

Returns management

Returned product tracked separately with full product detail, feeding inventory counts and reconciliation automatically.

Replant tracking

Replants recorded as non-revenue movement with their own reasons — visible to management without distorting sales numbers.

Shipments & receiving

Incoming shipments logged and verified as they arrive, supporting inventory accuracy throughout the season.

On-hand inventory

Live counts calculated from real movement and viewable by crop, product, treatment and seed size — no manual spreadsheet updates.

Year-end reconciliation

Ordered vs. delivered vs. returned vs. replanted, surfacing credits, over-deliveries and invoice adjustments at season-end.

The AI assistant

Ask a question. Give an instruction. The system does the rest.

The integrated AI assistant lets users interact with their business data in plain language instead of searching through dashboards, tables and forms. It answers questions about inventory, customer orders and profitability with database-driven accuracy.

And it doesn't stop at answers — the assistant drafts deliveries, returns and replants from a single instruction, confirms the details, and saves the record. Below is a real workflow, recreated from the live platform: an inventory check, a delivery created in chat, and a printable delivery slip — right from your pocket in the field.

Ask about inventory

Natural-language questions about on-hand inventory by product, treatment, crop and seed size — answered straight from the database.

Look up customer orders

Summarizes a customer's orders, deliveries, returns and outstanding balances — invaluable when a customer calls or arrives for pickup.

Analyze profitability

Profit by season, crop, product, treatment or customer — plus discount impact and average profit per unit, on demand.

Complete forms automatically

Creates delivery, return and replant records from a plain-language instruction — no opening forms or filling out fields.

Confirm before saving

Drafts the record, shows it back for approval and only saves on confirmation — with a printable delivery slip when it's done.

Skip the navigation

Answers and actions without hunting through pages, filters and tables — fastest during busy selling and pickup periods.

Say it, don't click it.

The assistant interprets the request, identifies the right customer, product, treatment and package type, then creates the record — the same workflow for deliveries, returns and replants.

Delivery entry
“Record a delivery for Green Acres Farm: 12 units of soybeans with Fung/Insect treatment.”
Return entry
“Record a return for 5 units from Smith Farms for the corn they picked up last week.”
Replant entry
“Add a replant for 8 units for Brown Farms due to poor emergence.”
Inside the platform

From chat instruction to clean records.

Screens recreated from the live platform. The same delivery the assistant created in chat lands in a structured form — and every order, delivery, return and replant rolls up into the customer's year-end adjustment report.
