Trimble Inc. (US) is one of the key players in the farm management software market. Trimble’s “agriculture” division provides solutions that solve complex technological challenges across the agricultural landscape. The company has expertise in global positioning systems (GPS), laser, optical, including software solutions for agriculture and forestry applications. Trimble agricultural software is used by farmers to help integrate all the information on the farm and is also used by advisors, suppliers, and purchasers to share information to help improve efficiencies. The company conducts extensive R&D on its products & services and invested ~536 million for the same in 2021. Trimble is continuously increasing its focus on software solutions that use data to enhance farm productivity. For instance, in 2022, the company launched its next-generation displays for precision agriculture applications i.e., the Trimble GFX-1060 and GFX-1260 displays. Trimble's portfolio of innovative displays enables farmers to complete in-field operations quickly and efficiently while also mapping and monitoring field information in real-time with precision. The company has been focusing on strategic alliances and agreements; as well as in investments in order to facilitate precision farming across the globe. For instance, Trimble Ventures, Trimble's corporate venture capital fund, announced its investment in Sabanto, Inc., a US-based agricultural technology company focusing on autonomous workflows throughout the farming cycle being offered as Farming as a Service (FaaS). The company also focuses on geographic expansion with a localization strategy to sustain in the market. It currently has presence in over 40 countries and distribution channels in over 85 countries.  The company has weak presence in emerging markets across APAC, the Middle East, and Africa. As a result, the company faces high competition from start-ups and small innovative players

Raven Industries (US) is a leader in precision agriculture, high-performance specialty films, and lighter-than-air technologies. The company offers a wide range of products to help farmers improve yield. Services offered by the company include high-speed infield internet connectivity and cloud-based data management. The company is mainly focusing on product launches, mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. It has a very strong hold on the North American market. In 2020, this geography accounted for ~89% of its revenue. The company could use its strong product portfolio, brand image, and distribution channels to strengthen its presence in the emerging markets of the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Rest of the World (RoW) and reap benefits through new revenue channels. The company has limited sales and distribution network and focuses only on the North American market. The company can focus on other markets, such as Europe, APAC, and Latin America, to sustain its position in the farm management software market.

Topcon (US) provides advanced IoT-connected field and farm management solutions for aftermarket and OEM customers in the agriculture industry, integrating high-precision hardware, software, and data services to bring efficiency and enhance productivity to every phase of the farming operation. Topcon boasts of a strong product portfolio for farm management software solutions. The company recently launched the Topcon Agriculture Platform, a cloud-based farm workflow improvement tool which integrates connectivity, cloud services, and data analytics for farmers. The company also entered into a partnership with IBM to develop artificial intelligence which is dedicated to IT agriculture. Similarly, the company collaborated with MyAgData to facilitate and improve access and data sharing involving electronic grain cart load data, creating a more streamlined workflow for farmers and a more efficient remittance process for crop insurance adjusters. The company has presence in nearly 32 countries including Australia, Albania, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, and Bulgaria. Through partnerships and agreements, the company aims to create innovative products by integrating advanced technologies into its existing systems. For instance, Topcon Positioning’s collaboration with IBM resulted in the development of an AI-based software for agriculture. Topcon Positioning Systems also integrates its software with the hardware of the partner company to provide an enhanced solution. The company has limited geographic presence as compared to its competitors such as Trimble and Raven Industries in the farm management software market. It also has limited focus on inorganic growth strategies such as acquisitions and collaborations.

Granular Inc. (US) is one of the leading players in the farm management software market. The company’s innovative products help farmers to build more profitable and efficient farms.

This is expected to help in delivering real-time critical grain and financial information and enabling better business decisions. Similarly, in June 2020, the company partnered with Smithfield Foods, Inc., an American food company with agricultural roots and a global reach. Granular also partnered with John Deere to integrate its farm management software with John Deere’s Operations Center. Although the company has diversified product offerings, it still has undertaken relatively lower number of product launches during the past three years, which might lead to a slight setback for the company in the long run.
