Transaction App celebrates one thousandth participant

The XNUMXth participant of the Transaction App signed up last week, six weeks after its launch. It is Bonne Poelma, a farmer in Pieterburen. The great enthusiasm for the Transaction App is an unexpected and unprecedented success for this free service.

For some time now, the stock exchange quotations and transaction lists of arable farmers do not seem to be working satisfactorily. Transactions are not reported, or are reported too late, which often means that they do not accurately reflect the current market. This is not necessary in today's world of communication, as you can communicate very quickly through social media channels and messaging services such as Whatsapp and SMS.

Simple and accessible
Based on that fact, DCA has devised the Whatsapp Transaction App. A simple and accessible system in which agricultural entrepreneurs can quickly communicate and share what they have purchased or sold in terms of products and services with other colleagues. No one expected this to be such a success so quickly.

The statistics in six weeks:

• More than 1000 participants
• 485 transactions
• 16 different categories in which transaction reports are made.

Transactions come in every day, ranging from onions, interest, diesel, plant protection products, contract work, carrots, straw, manure, grain, planting material and much more.

This free and accessible service ensures that you are daily informed of transactions that colleagues have done and you can easily share your own transactions (anonymously) with a WhatsApp message. DCA checks the transactions entered and ensures that you receive an almost daily update in your whatsapp about transactions from your colleagues.

The spread of prices that are shared is striking. Both on the purchase and sales side. This shows that for many agricultural entrepreneurs there is still room in the negotiations. It's not for nothing that the motto of the Transaction whatsapp service is: #stasterkinnegotiations

The thousandth participant is Bonne Poelma from Pieterburen. Last week he received a delicious cream cake to celebrate this milestone. (photo). Poelma indicates that she is happy with this service and was pointed out by a colleague. It is also striking that many young farmers sign up for this free service, who are happy with this modern way of sharing prices. It takes little time, you don't have to leave your yard for this and you are informed sooner than a quotation once a week.
