Ever.Ag has acquired Roger, a bulk agriculture commodity trucking technology and logistics company headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska.
According to a statement from the company, the acquisition expands Ever.Ag’s portfolio of software, risk management resources and market intelligence offerings.
Roger was the creation of a group of agribusinesses, including: The Andersons Inc., Cargill, Consolidated Grain and Barge Co. (CGB), Koch Fertilizer, Scoular and Bushel. They shared a vision of a neutral logistics platform that would digitize and streamline bulk ag hauling.
Over the past year, the charter member companies recognized the future path to greater success for Roger would be dependent on advanced technical and analytical capabilities, the announcement said. All charter member companies are fully committed to using and expanding Roger solutions across their businesses long term and will remain as members of the Roger shipper advisory board.
“Joining Ever.Ag and their innovative AgTech solutions and services allows Roger to expand our offerings, helping customers to remove inefficiencies and solve real business challenges," said Jeff Schreiner, CEO of Roger. "Roger will become a more valuable resource for the entire agriculture industry. The key to Roger’s success is being able to provide better data-driven insights that allow customers to make more informed and profitable decisions for their business.”
With Roger’s up-to-date and reliable hauling information, clients can optimize logistics throughout the bulk agricultural trucking sector. With a focus on transparency and traceability, Ever.Ag will leverage the Roger platform to manage bulk movements across all commodities, said Scott Sexton, CEO, Ever.Ag.
