What It Is

Grainit is a cloud-based farm storage and biogas plant biomass management system from Denmark’s Grainit ApS. It is designed for farms, feeding operations, and biogas plants, bringing mobile registration, weighbridge weighing, inventory ledgers, transport data, and supplier data into the cloud as a replacement for paper records and scattered spreadsheets.

Core Features and Integrations

The system supports registration via iPad, iPhone, and Android apps, can connect to weighbridges, and can summarize yields by hectare, field, product, variety, and total volume. It also records quality data such as protein, moisture, and oil content. On the inventory side, it provides stock levels, forecasts, consumption, purchases and sales, feed/component/animal movement records, and email delivery of electronic weighing slips. The biogas module emphasizes multi-site operations, suppliers, products, carriers, settlements, and biomass tracking, and can support CO2 consumption reporting and biosecurity documentation.

Integration is one of its strengths. The materials explicitly mention Perten Instruments, feed mixers, Big Dutchman/BD-connect, and Mark Online file imports. BD-connect can automatically deduct Grainit inventory based on consumption data returned from the feeding system. Grainit also provides Webservice documentation, allowing external partners to validate integrations and submit data via POST/JSON, although at present only new data of the purchase type appears to be supported.

Pricing, Security, and Deployment

Grainit uses a 12-month subscription model, supports monthly or annual price views, and accepts credit card payments. However, the crawled content does not disclose specific prices, plan differences, or a free trial. Deployment is cloud-based, with data stored on servers in Denmark. Personal and sensitive information is encrypted, and client-server communication uses HTTPS. The terms state that inventory and inbound/outbound transaction data belong to the customer, that external data exchange requires customer authorization, and that data is not sold.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its main advantage is a highly focused industry scenario: it can cover farm harvesting, storage, weighing, feed consumption, and biogas biomass flows, while also supporting offline registration followed by synchronization. Downsides include opaque pricing and limited information on permissions, SLA, and compliance certifications. Mark Online cannot be connected directly and only supports file import. There is also no clear information on a Chinese interface, compatibility with local equipment, or local support.

Access from China and Alternatives

Accessibility from China is unknown, and the only visible payment method is credit card. For deployment in China, key items to verify include network connectivity, mobile app availability, weighbridge/feed equipment interfaces, Chinese-language support, and invoice-based payment. Alternative options could include local farm management systems, grain storage and weighing systems, livestock feeding systems, or biogas operations management platforms.
