Product Management Services

The more research and information you have on a product the better. But volumes of data are useless if you struggle interpreting the information. If you need assistance integrating the volumes of information into your organization KMR is the answer.

We will customize a program to meet your specific needs. Consider the services described below and come up with a list of what you need. Together, we will discuss how KMR can benefit your operation and outline a plan using any combination of these services and others.


Product Evaluation and Cost Analysis
There’s a great deal at stake in selecting the right hybrids to add to your lineup. Where will a particular product perform the best? Which hybrids tolerate stressful conditions? Which product has the most yield potential? Which hybrids are best adapted to corn-on-corn? How does the hybrid perform under reduced tillage? Is the seed readily available?

Our product evaluation goes far beyond yield data because we view these products throughout the entire growing season and track them over several years. Our production cost analysis looks not only at the seed cost and royalties, but seed production costs such as yield, population and detasseling. This analysis includes inventory control issues, yet another way to increase profitability.

The bottom line is that these value-added services are an investment in your future. By making knowledgeable decisions, you can cut risk and increase profitability.


Information Management and Statistical Analysis

All data generated through internal or external testing programs and strip trials must be analyzed and interpreted to be useful, and our statistical analysis tools will produce hard numbers and real answers. Our creative approach to developing protocols will get you the answers you need while staying within your budget.

We understand the struggles of running an effective strip trial program. Our alternative strip trial program enables you to gather your valuable information without the headache. Regardless of the complexity of the research you need, KMR can help you plan a program that will be the most beneficial and economical for your company.

Product and Agronomy Training
Every hybrid has its strengths and weaknesses, and proper use is essential to obtain optimum results. A salesperson’s ability to thoroughly explain hybrid traits is the basis for building customer trust, increasing sales and elevating customer satisfaction.

Our research shows that 84% of growers look to their seed salespeople for agronomy advice, and over 90% discuss insect and disease pressures. Is your staff prepared? Most companies provide some degree of product training for their sales staff. However, our experience has demonstrated over and over again that sales staffs are rarely as well prepared to advise customers as you might wish.

The KMR team has a rigorous set of professional and ethical guidelines which insures that information from your company is strictly confidential. The training and hybrid recommendations you receive from us are completely unique to your particular and individual set of needs.
