What ag retailers and grain companies do with Township Canada
Crop input retailers, grain companies, and agronomy service providers cover defined sales territories — usually drawn around an elevator, a dealership, or a multi-RM service zone. Every customer record, lease record, and field record references a DLS quarter section. Township Canada turns those descriptions into coordinates and maps so territory planning, customer-parcel mapping, agronomist route optimization, and CRM enrichment all run from the descriptions customers already use.
Map the customer book against your territory
A territory manager covers 200 km by 150 km — half a dozen RMs. The CRM has customers in the address field with legal descriptions. Without a map, the territory manager works from memory. The batch converter takes the customer CSV, returns coordinates and a downloadable KML, and the whole book renders on a map for the first time.
Territory & Prospecting — the Investor-tier killer feature
This is the one designed for you. Draw a polygon over a sales territory. Get every quarter section inside it, joined to AAFC dominant crop and LSRS productivity. Sort the list. Export to CSV with Salesforce / HubSpot column mapping. Drop straight into the CRM for prospecting.
For a territory manager scoping the upcoming season — "where are my canola-heavy parcels", "where's the highest productivity ground I'm not selling into" — this replaces hours of GIS work with a five-minute draw.
Daily agronomist routing
Twelve grower visits Tuesday in late June. The route planner takes the legal descriptions as input, converts them, optimizes the order across range roads and township roads. Saves 60-90 minutes of driving per visit day.
CRM enrichment via the API
Customer records in Salesforce, HubSpot, or a dedicated ag retail CRM need GPS to feed downstream tools — precision ag platforms, fleet dispatch, BI dashboards. The Township Canada API takes a description and returns coordinates, township, range, meridian, and an optional boundary polygon. Nightly batch jobs keep the CRM in sync as new parcels enter the customer book.
Which tier fits
- Ag Investor — $100 CAD/mo. Required for the Territory & Prospecting tool, CSV with CRM mapping, and unlimited polygon saves. Plus everything in Farmer.
- API plans (separate) — $20-$100/mo for programmatic conversion. See API plans.
Most retailer-scale operations end up on Investor + an API plan. See pricing for the breakdown.
