Although many things happened at SeedSoft in 2026, we deliberately chose to highlight three capabilities that best illustrate the direction of our product development and the growing role of data in the seed industry.
3 Key Product Capabilities
1. PDF Trial Reporting
One of the most impactful improvements in 2026 was the introduction of automated PDF Trial Reporting.
Users can instantly generate professional, branded trial reports directly from trial observations. The functionality enables:
-
selection of varieties included in the report,
-
choice of characteristics and parameters,
-
inclusion of photos showcasing varietal performance,
-
automatic creation of a personalized, business-ready PDF.
Why it matters
In many seed companies, trial reporting is still manual, time-consuming and fragmented. Data is often exported, reformatted and manually assembled into presentations or documents. By automating this process, SeedSoft reduces operational workload and ensures consistency, accuracy and brand alignment across reports.
Trial data moves from raw observation to decision-ready documentation in seconds.
2. Advanced Analytics
The second breakthrough was the implementation of a powerful analytical engine built around pivot tables and dynamic charts.
Users can:
-
compare varietal performance across trials and locations,
-
analyze numerical data in both tables and visual charts,
-
identify trends, differences and outliers efficiently.
Example use cases include:
-
comparing fruit count per plant across multiple trials,
-
analyzing celery gross vs net weight and calculated losses,
-
benchmarking varieties across different environments and growing conditions.
This analytical capability transforms trial data from static records into actionable insights. Instead of reviewing spreadsheets manually, teams can explore performance patterns and make informed decisions faster and with greater confidence.
3. Mobile Digital Asset Management (DAM)
The third pillar of SeedSoft’s development in 2026 was the launch of Digital Asset Management directly on mobile devices.
Field teams can now:
-
capture photos directly within the app,
-
link images to specific trials, varieties and observations,
-
build a structured, searchable visual database.
Field photos are no longer isolated files stored across devices and folders. They become contextualized data points — integrated into the broader knowledge ecosystem of the company.
This strengthens collaboration between breeding, trial, marketing and commercial teams while preserving valuable visual evidence of varietal performance.
