Pearce Seeds

Pearce Seeds is a leading supplier of agricultural chemicals, seeds, fertilisers, feed and agronomy services across the South West of England.

With around 100 permanent or contracted staff and over 210,000 items sold annually, Pearce Seeds supports farmers and growers with everything from soil sampling and nutrient management plans to animal health and stewardship applications. 

Pearce Seeds faced a failed implementation of Dynamics NAV with another partner. The project stalled, communication broke down, and confidence in the system was lost. In search of a new ERP partner, they turned to Node4, drawn by their honesty and upfront feedback. 

A few years later, Pearce Seeds began planning an upgrade to Dynamics 365 Business Central Online. But the Covid pandemic delayed those plans. By early 2023, the time was right to move forward and the relationship with Node4 made the decision easy. 

The project was delivered on time and under budget, providing Pearce Seeds with a simplified upgrade path for future releases. The new solution enhanced agility and scalability while creating a platform designed to handle seasonal complexity and business growth. With Business Central Online in place, Pearce Seeds is now well-equipped to manage its busiest trading periods, including autumn seed production and distribution which is a highly time-sensitive process involving growers, treatment, bagging, and logistics.
