An agrovet sells seeds, feeds and chemicals by weight, pack and batch. A scale, scanner and printer keep records straight.
Key takeaways
- Credit until harvest, recorded
- Weighed goods priced right
- See expiry coming
- Season prices in one place
01What owners tell you
Farmers buy on trust and on credit, often in small amounts. The agrovet owner needs both the stock and the debts in order.
- Feeds and seeds sold by the scoop with no record.
- Farmers on credit until harvest, tracked in a book.
- Chemicals with batch and expiry that nobody checks.
- Prices change with the season and staff forget.
- The owner is away buying stock and cannot see the shop.
02The words that sell
Owners do not buy equipment. They buy the day they want to have. These are the outcomes to talk about when you pitch a POS to agrovet.
03Say it like this
Short, plain lines work best. Use them as they are or put them in your own words.
- “You will know exactly who owes you and how much, farmer by farmer.”
- “Your scoops of feed will be weighed and priced, not guessed.”
- “You will see chemicals nearing expiry before they become waste.”
- “You can check the shop from your phone while you are buying stock.”

| The owner says | You answer |
|---|---|
| Farmers pay late, so what is the use? | Records tell you who is late and by how much. |
| There is no network here. | Many systems work offline and sync later. |
| Prices change often. | You change them once for every sale. |
| My staff are not computer people. | They learn the till in an afternoon. |
