process · 001 / overview

Count it.
Confirm it.
Move on.

Every project runs on the same four-step method — written down, repeatable, and the same whether it's one on-farm bin or a forty-site commercial system.

how a project runs02
01

Scope

Day 0 — typically a 20-minute call

You tell us what to count and where. We confirm scope and quote in writing — base service, any add-ons, and travel, with nothing hidden.

You provide
  • Bin list (or rough count)
  • Locations
  • Your timing constraints
We deliver
  • Written scope confirmation
  • All-in quote
  • Suggested travel window
02

Schedule

Day 1–14 — depending on travel

We put it on the schedule. You get an arrival window and a checklist of what should be ready on site so the field day runs cleanly.

You provide
  • Confirmed access dates
  • Site contact name + number
  • Any safety / PPE requirements
We deliver
  • Calendar confirmation
  • Pre-arrival checklist
  • On-site contact info
03

Verify

On-site — typically 1 field day per site

On-site physical measurement using our repeatable method — measured bin volume, the same procedure at every site, working through your bins in the order that makes sense for the facility.

You provide
  • Site access
  • A point person on-site
  • Current book numbers (for reconciliation)
We deliver
  • On-site measurement
  • Field notes per bin
  • Real-time variance flagging
04

Report

5 business days from field day

Numbers, signed and delivered. No surprises. Where counts vary from your books, the report shows the variance, the suspected cause, and the suggested next step.

You provide
  • Review window
We deliver
  • Signed verification report
  • Per-bin breakdown
  • Variance commentary
  • Lender-ready PDF
what you get03

A signed report,
and the file to match.

  • Inventory measurement
    Recorded levels by commodity and location, plus the supporting records (Daily Position Reports, Inventory Cut-Off, etc.).
  • Facility diagrams
    A current map of every storage area, marked with measurement levels and which commodities were measured where.
  • ExamNet software file
    A grain-inventory software file built from measured bin volumes — not scale-ticket weights — ready for your records.
  • Final report + review meeting
    Per-commodity, per-location summary, diagrams, and a walk-through with you to discuss what we found.
  • Delivery your way
    Email or secure file transfer — your call.
  • 30 days of support
    We're on the line for a month after delivery for questions or clarifications.

what makes it defensible04

Built to hold up.

A readout is easy to argue with. A documented, independent measurement isn't. Four things make the GrainMX report stand on its own with a banker, an auditor, an adjuster, or a judge.

01

Independent

A third party with no stake in the bushel count. The whole value is that it isn't your spreadsheet or your manager's position record.

02

Measured bin volume

Calculated from physical measurement — capturing settling, compaction, partial fills, and moisture that paperwork misses.

03

Documented & signed

Facility diagrams, per-bin field notes, per-location levels, and the ExamNet file — a complete record, not a verbal number.

04

Withstands scrutiny

Independent, methodology-driven, and documented — the standard a valuation needs to go in a loan file, an audit binder, or a courtroom.

common questions05
How long does a project take?
For most facilities, one field day on-site plus five business days to report. Larger systems run in parallel field days.
What if my numbers don't match yours?
We show you the variance, the suspected cause, and the next step. We don't round to make the numbers agree.
Do we need to stop operations?
Usually no. We work around your load-in and load-out, and flag any bins that need to sit still for an accurate read.
What does the final report include?
Per-commodity, per-location measurement levels, facility diagrams, a summary, and any other relevant information collected on-site — plus a review meeting to walk through it.
What kind of file do we get?
A signed PDF with per-commodity, per-location levels, facility diagrams, and a summary — plus an ExamNet software file with your data processed in.
How far do you travel?
Anywhere in the lower 48. Ground travel is billed from mile one at $1.45/mi; flights and overnights are flat add-ons when the route requires them (see Services).
