How It Works

How Vertical Software Works for Grain Elevators

1. Weigh & Capture

The truck rolls onto the scale. The system grabs weight and ID-tag or ticket number, matching the grower, contract, and commodity automatically.

2. Create Ticket

Shrink, moisture, and grade rules apply in real time. A ticket prints or emails on the spot.

3. Update Bins & Contracts

The same ticket instantly adjusts bin inventory, contract balances, and open positions to the bushel. After unloading, the driver returns via the outbound scale. The system links the outbound weight to the original ticket automatically, maintaining a clean digital chain.

4. Post Records to Accounting

Accounting records, storage fees, and producer settlements post in one click, ready for EFT or check.

5. Sync and Store Digital Tickets

Digital tickets and signatures sync to the grower portal and secure cloud backup; paper copies are optional.

6. Report & Reconcile

Live dashboards show scale activity, shrink totals, and revenue. End-of-day or month-end close is already balanced.
