What our clients are saying.

A business needs to run at the right margin and AgrigateOne is providing the opportunity for this to happen at all levels in a fair and ethical manner. Through its use Fresh Fruit Company (FFC) has been allowed to tap directly into the farming operation, bringing to life each shipment we order through the software. It is also a fantastic planning tool Christian Henke FFC, Hamburg Germany.

As a farmer, AgrigateOne has offered me unrivaled clarity and productivity. This has become even more apparent during the global pandemic. The software offers consistency of reporting and complete line of sight across the board notwithstanding our business operating with a serious shortage of staff. I find the centrality of accessing buyer needs hugely beneficial to reducing food waste and time Justin Whitaker Limpopo Citrus, Limpopo South Africa
