CHICAGO, April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AgriCharts,
the agricultural commodity division of Barchart, announces the
release of a new online platform, named the AgriCharts Grain Offer
System, which modernizes the buying and selling of physical grain
between grain elevators and farmers. With the AgriCharts Grain
Offer System, both producers and buyers of grain, including corn,
soybeans and wheat, will be able to transact orders from their
desktop, phone or tablet. The AgriCharts Grain Offer System is
completely web-based and leverages advanced technologies including
cloud-based infrastructure from Amazon Web Services. The Grain
Offer System further complements the range of web-based market data
and trading services AgriCharts provides to the agricultural
industry.
"The platform we've built for trading physical grain uses an
incredibly simple interface and has built-in automatic
notifications to keep both buyers and sellers aware of activity,"
said Mark Haraburda, Managing
Director of AgriCharts. "The AgriCharts Grain Offer System will
also be provided at no cost to both grain buyers and producers. We
will of course offer a premium version, but for the majority of the
marketplace, our free version will certainly meet their needs,"
