Price Benchmarking
CRM Agri and Cost Insights are collaborating to create a unique business that provides
regularly updated price series for various commodities and products.
Business Overview
CRM Agri and Cost Insights have joined forces to create a pioneering service that delivers regularly updated price series for a wide range of commodities and products. By bringing together data from multiple trusted sources, we provide market intelligence that supports better decisions around pricing, cost structures, and strategic planning.
Expanding Visibility on Niche Ingredients
Accurate price information for minor ingredients is often hard to find. We’re changing that. Our platform broadens market access by offering commercial insights into previously under-reported ingredients—helping suppliers and buyers alike to benchmark, plan, and grow with confidence.
Our process is quick, easy, and requires minimal effort from contributors. We handle the hard work—gathering, normalising, verifying, and publishing the data—then deliver it through the intuitive CRM Agri interface.
Built on Experience, Powered by Innovation
With decades of experience supporting the food, retail, and farming sectors, CRM Agri and Cost Insights are committed to efficiency and accuracy, using smart, automated tools to collect data via FTP, API, XML, and benchmarking systems. Whether we’re working directly with clients and suppliers, sourcing new data through research, or generating our own when none exists—our goal remains the same: delivering reliable, actionable insight.

Our Competitive Advantage:
1. Niche Specialisation
We focus on specific niches or underserved markets within larger industries.
2. Agility and Speed to Market
We offer more flexibility and faster decision-making processes, enabling us to adapt quickly to market changes and respond faster to client needs.
3. Personalised Customer Service
We have the ability to offer highly personalised service and closer client relationships, which many of the larger companies struggle with.
4. Cost-effective and Flexible Pricing
With fewer overheads and operational flexibility, we can offer competitive pricing or flexible payment models (e.g., pay-per-use, subscription with a customisable plan).
5. Innovation and Customisation
We can experiment with new technologies and data collection methods more freely. We can provide unique offerings that our larger competitors, with their established processes, fine difficult to adopt.
6. Customer-Driven Development
Most of all we enjoy direct feedback from clients and tailor their product or service offerings based on those insights. This client-first approach allows us to provide highly relevant solutions that resonate deeply with specific industries or markets.
