Hello!

Congratulations on the decision to use the cmdty Match to manage your offer book. We couldn’t be happier to have you onboard as a customer and the whole cmdty@barchart.com team is excited to work with you. This guide is designed to get you started using Match within cmdtyView. You’ll be working up custom bids to your producers in no time.

Go-to-Market Checklist

Here are all the things you should do to ensure success. Our product experts are standing by to help you along the way, so just shoot us a note at connect@barchart.com if you have any questions.

Let’s get you setup and get your offer book looking fresh. We’ve done this before.

1) Get each of your grain buyers / merchandisers setup with cmdtyView

• In order to use Match your grain buying team will need access to cmdtyView

• Once in cmdtyView our connect@barchart.com team will work with your employees to configure their Match profile (basically your Merchandiser details)

• Get your account profiles setup with information that will increase engagement (profile photo and title) with your producers. Did you know that having a profile photo can improve engagement by over 2,000%? At a minimum we need to make sure your company logo shows up in the profile photo.

2) Get your growers onboarded into the system

• Do you have existing farmer accounts from another provider? We’ve done this many times, so just contact connect@barchart.com and we will walk you through best practice to gather an existing list for import.

• Make sure that your new Marketplace app is easy to discover and tied into your website. We’ve got lots of detail on how to do this right here - Quickstart Guide - Agribusiness | Now Go! 🏁 - and following these guidelines will ensure your new system gets the attention it deserves.

• Our onboarding team will setup a Match dashboard in cmdtyView Pro that will allow you to interact with offers that farmer’s create or even create offers on their behalf. You can now view all of your farmers and offers in the same screen that you monitor cash markets, futures prices, and get your hedge off. We’re making you’re life easier already!

3) Work up your first custom bid / offer to your producers

• Now that you’re all setup you’re ready to start working offers with your producers. We’ve provided lots of detail on how you can manage your offer book here - Making & Managing Offers - so take a look and then let us know if you have any questions.

That’s it. You’re done. Wasn’t that easy?
