Challenge and solution

Key challenge
Bringing the operation of a full agrifood cooperative —field, farm, mill, transport and administration— into a single management model. Making the information generated at each point of the chain speak with the others and with the ERP.
Aritmos Solution
Sage X3 as the management core, extended with the Vertical Agro Aritmos (farms, veterinarians and land holdings) and integrated with the industrial systems of the feed mills.
Implemented functionalities
Vertical Agro Aritmos (farm master, web platform for veterinarians, Land module · Sage X3 AGRI), transport and shipment management, integration with the mill's industrial platform and analytics with SEI.
About Cooperativa d'Ivars
Cooperativa d’Ivars is one of the leading agrifood cooperatives in Catalonia, with more than a century of history and an activity that combines four major areas: farming, livestock, industry and logistics. The cooperative produces compound feed at three specialised mills —Ivars d’Urgell (pork), Torregrossa (ruminants) and La Fuliola (poultry)— and operates storage facilities in Castellserà. It serves close to 3,500 member producers and has placed the digitalisation of its plants within its « Feed 4.0 » strategy.

Before Aritmos and Sage X3

Problem areas

Diverse activities, disconnected systems
Lands, farms, mills, veterinarians and transport worked with different tools. The field operation lived apart from the central management system.
Field operation disconnected from the ERP
Veterinary visits, land management and industrial activity were documented outside the ERP, with information reaching the management core late and fragmented.
No single view of the value chain
It was hard to trace the full product cycle —from field to farm, from farm to mill, from mill to customer— on a shared information base.

Business impact

Duplication and manual work
Each team kept its own database and information moved by hand from one system to another. Room for error, administration time and risk of mismatch between what happened and what was recorded.
Fragmented reporting
Partial queries on farms, balances or visit histories that were hard to consolidate into a useful overall view for decision-making.
Hard to leverage scale
The cooperative's dimension (3,500 members, close to 400,000 tonnes of feed per year) required a digital coordination that a siloed operation did not allow.

Our solution: a unified platform for growth

Sage X3 as the core, connected with the mills
Sage X3 manages purchasing, raw materials, stock, production and shipments across the three feed mills. It integrates with the plant's industrial platform, so that the industrial operation and the enterprise management work on the same data. In 2024, 343,571 tonnes of compound feed were produced, and in 2025 the figure grew to 389,464 tonnes.
Vertical Agro Aritmos: bringing Sage X3 to the field
The Vertical Agro extends Sage X3 to farm, veterinary and land. Farm master, visit documentation and a web platform where veterinarians report from the field. The Land module (Sage X3 AGRI) enables agronomists to manage holdings, plantations, lease contracts and re-invoicing inside the ERP.
Single view of the entire value chain
Transport and shipments are also integrated into Sage X3, closing the information flow from production to delivery. Analytics is centralised with SEI: queries on farms, balances, comparatives and visit histories at the reach of the management teams.

The transformation: before and after

Before (with the previous system)

Disconnected activities
Field, farm, veterinary, mill and transport managed with separate tools and data hard to consolidate.
Manual and siloed data
Duplication, transcriptions and partial reporting. Each team kept its own base.
Field operation far from the ERP
Veterinary visits, land management and farm activity documented outside the central system.
Fragmented reporting
Scattered queries that were hard to assemble and compare

After (with Sage X3 and Aritmos)

Value chain connected end to end
Land → farm → veterinary → mill → transport → management → analytics, all inside the same system.
Single base in Sage X3 with Vertical Agro Aritmos
Teams work on the same information. Duplication drops and administrative time is freed up
Field integrated into the ERP
Veterinarians report from the field via a web platform; the farm master and the Land module live inside Sage X3.
Consolidated analytics with SEI
Queries on farms, balances, integration comparatives and visit histories at the reach of the management team.

Sage X3 is a leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, built to power the growth of medium and large companies. A platform that brings finance, supply chain, production and customer management together in a single system.

At Aritmos we have spent years extending Sage X3 for sectors where a standard ERP does not reach. As the Cooperativa d’Ivars case shows, the Vertical Agro Aritmos allows the management of field, farm, veterinary and industry to live within the same system, with the scale and rigour that an ERP like Sage X3 brings.

If your operation combines diverse realities —production, field, commercial network— and the lack of a single base is holding you back, let’s talk.
