Why Terrantic?
You have options for production planning. Spreadsheets are "free." ERPs promise everything. Custom dev gives you control. Here's why food processors are choosing Terrantic instead.
Five Reasons to Choose Terrantic
Speed to Value
Deploy in weeks, not 18 months.
ERP implementations take 12-18 months and millions of dollars. By the time you go live, your requirements have changed. Terrantic connects to your existing systems in 4-6 weeks. You see results before the first invoice.

Food-Specific Expertise
Built for food processing, not generic manufacturing.
Generic ERPs treat apples like widgets. They don't understand lot variability, shelf life, grower allocations, or seasonal peaks. Terrantic was built for food from day one—we speak your language.
Built-in understanding of:
Agents That Execute
Not just dashboards—AI that makes decisions.
Most software gives you charts and reports. You still have to figure out what to do. Terrantic's five AI agents don't just show you data—they generate optimal schedules, reallocate inventory, and execute automatically.
Traditional Software
"Here's a dashboard showing you have a problem"
Terrantic
"Here's the optimal solution. Approve it and I'll execute."
No Rip & Replace
Integrates with your existing ERP/MES/WMS.
You've invested millions in your current systems. Terrantic doesn't ask you to throw them away. We connect to your ERP, MES, quality systems, and equipment data—making your existing investments smarter.
We connect to:
Human-in-the-Loop
AI suggests, you approve, it executes.
We don't believe in "black box" AI that makes decisions you can't understand or override. Every recommendation shows its reasoning. You stay in control—approving, adjusting, or rejecting before anything happens.

The Hidden Cost of Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets feel "free" but they're costing you more than you realize.
Human Error = Spoilage
One typo in a formula, one missed row, one outdated file—and you've got spoiled product or missed orders.
Stale Data = Bad Decisions
By the time you update the spreadsheet, the data is already old. You're planning based on yesterday's reality.
10+ Hours/Week Labor
"Free" means your highest-paid planner spends 10+ hours a week on data entry instead of optimization.
Doesn't Scale
Works for 1 line. Breaks at 3 lines. Completely fails when you add a second facility.
No Audit Trail
When the auditor asks "why did you allocate that lot?"—good luck finding the answer in version 47 of the spreadsheet.
Version Chaos
"Which file is current?" "Did you see my update?" "Wait, I was working on an old copy."
