A workflow for sending one commodity offer to many buyers, then comparing replies by net price at the gate.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The workflow begins with a lot record containing quantity, specifications, target price, and terms, then distributes one offer across a buyer book. Replies remain attached to the lot even when they arrive as WhatsApp messages, PDFs, or voice notes. The sample shows 600 tonnes of alfalfa allocated across two buyers after bids are converted to net-at-gate values. Currency safeguards print both the exchange rate and reference date, while validity checks account for the recipient's time zone.
