Vertical Software

Vertical Software Vertical Software provides computerized software solutions for companies that grow, buy, store, and process grain. Traceability from field to the consumer

Vertical Software's roots begin in 1981. A manager at a river elevator in Pekin, Illinois was looking for a better way to account for grain deliveries, settlements and shipments. This man's desire for a faster and more efficient way of doing business is how Vertical Software got started.

We were honored to be invited to the Missouri Department of Agriculture to demonstrate our latest cloud-based platform, Ceres Edition, at the Missouri Soybean Association building in Jefferson City, MO.

It was a great experience connecting with the team, sharing insights from our current clients across Missouri, and showcasing how Ceres Edition is transforming commodity management with modern, scalable technology.

Thank you to the Missouri Department of Agriculture for the opportunity—we’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to working together in the future.

Exciting progress is taking shape in North Manchester, Indiana as MPS Egg Farms continues construction on their new concrete feed mill facility. Investments like this show the commitment MPS Egg Farms has to innovation, efficiency, and the future of agriculture.

The Vertical Software team recently had the opportunity to stop by and see progress firsthand, and we’re excited to be part of their next chapter. With the new facility, MPS Egg Farms will also be upgrading to our New Vertical Software Kiosk at the inbound and outbound scales. This will help move trucks across the scale faster, reduce waiting times, and keep lines shorter, creating a smoother experience for drivers and improving operational flow.

We look forward to seeing this impressive new feed mill come to life for MPS Egg Farms!

🍀 Don’t test your luck with spreadsheets this St. Patrick’s Day… 🍀
If you’re still running your operation on spreadsheets, you might be relying on a little too much Irish luck. And let’s be honest—that’s a risky bet.
Upgrade to Ceres, our SaaS platform built for modern agriculture—streamlining scale operations, commodity management, and automation so you can run smarter, not luckier.
Because in ag… luck is great. But control is better. 🌾

As National FFA Week comes to a close — and as we celebrate Wear Blue Day — we want to simply say thank you.

Thank you to the students who are stepping up to lead.
Thank you to the advisors who pour into the next generation.
Thank you to the families and communities who support agricultural education every day.

FFA represents leadership, hard work, and the future of our industry — and we’re incredibly grateful to play a small part in supporting that mission.

We’re proud to continue that support on June 20th as a sponsor of Ag Night with the Peoria Chiefs, helping raise funds for Illinois FFA and investing back into these outstanding young leaders.

The blue jacket stands for so much more than tradition — it represents the future of agriculture, and that future is bright.

Thank you, Illinois FFA, for all that you do.
