Clarifying CINCH platform ownership, development, and long-term support through a collaborative, customer-focused approach as Dynamics GP evolves 

May 4, 2026 – Alpharetta, GA – Greenstone Systems reaffirmed today their long-term commitment to the CINCH platform for Intellego users.

CINCH has always been developed, maintained, and supported by Greenstone. While some customers may recognize the name Intellego, that product was a white-labeled version of CINCH. As market messaging shifts, Greenstone is clarifying that the CINCH platform remains fully available, supported, and independent. 

We are committed to having CINCH be a part of your business now and in the future. CINCH is not going away, and customers are not required to move to a new system in the near future.

Customers retain their license rights and working directly with Greenstone may reduce their overall costs. We want users to have accurate information so they can make confident, informed decisions about their business systems.

Mary Friedrichsen Tangen, Vice President of Business Solutions at Greenstone

CINCH Remains Fully Supported and Available 

Greenstone confirmed that CINCH continues to be actively maintained and enhanced. Customers with active support and maintenance agreements can continue using the platform without disruption. 

For Intellego users, no system change is required. Since Intellego has always been powered by Greenstone’s CINCH platform, customers can maintain continuity simply by working directly with Greenstone.

Greenstone also addressed Microsoft’s previously announced Dynamics GP lifecycle milestones. Microsoft has stated that product enhancements, regulatory updates (including tax updates), and technical support will end on December 31, 2029, followed by the end of security updates and patches on April 30, 2031 for customers on a current enhancement plan. Despite these timelines, Dynamics GP and CINCH will continue to operate. Greenstone will provide ongoing support beyond Microsoft’s end-of-support dates, help ensure customers maintain stability, continuity, and a clear path forward. 

Greenstone encourages organizations to take a proactive approach to their ERP strategy and have outlined a strategic path forward for customers. Options include: 

  • Extending the life of Dynamics GP through cloud migration  
  • Optimizing current system performance  
  • Staying current on supported versions for extended longevity 

Our role is to support each customer’s success. We take a collaborative approach, working alongside our customers as their businesses evolve, continually advancing our solutions to meet their changing needs and position them for long-term success.

Mary Friedrichsen Tangen, Vice President of Business Solutions at Greenstone

From strengthening the platforms you rely on today to launching new solutions that unlock greater confidence, clarity, and control, every investment this year was centered on supporting your long-term success. 

Here’s a look at what we accomplished together in 2025. 

AGRIS: Strengthening the Foundation for the Future

2025 was a transformative year for Greenstone. With modernized foundations, expanded integrations, and new products like Insights and AgTMS, we’re entering 2026 stronger than ever.

You Have Options. CINCH Is Not Going Away.

CINCH continues to be fully maintained, enhanced, and supported. As long as your support and maintenance contract remains active, Greenstone stands firmly behind CINCH. You are not required to move to a new system. Your CINCH license is perpetual, meaning you retain the right to use it indefinitely.

Additionally, if you are an Intellego user, you are already using the CINCH platform, both powered by Greenstone. You can keep your business running, ensuring no disruption to your operations, by signing a maintenance agreement with Greenstone. In most cases, working directly with Greenstone can reduce overall costs and CINCH users retain their license rights. Simply connect with our team to learn more.

Microsoft Dynamics Timeline 

Microsoft has announced end-of-support timelines for Dynamics GP: 

  • December 31, 2029: End of product enhancements, regulatory updates (including tax updates), and Microsoft technical support. 
  • April 30, 2031: End of security updates and patches for Dynamics GP customers on a current enhancement plan. 

Even after Microsoft’s support ends, Dynamics GP will remain operational. Greenstone will continue to provide full CINCH and GP support after that date. The only change is that we’ll no longer be able to escalate cases directly to Microsoft. Suppose we encounter an issue that cannot be resolved internally or through our ISV partners. In that case, we’ll work with you to identify the best next step—a workaround, an integration, or a guided migration to a new ERP platform.

Moving Forward with Confidence 

Now is a strategic time to review your business systems and plan for the future

We can help you extend the life of your existing system by migrating Dynamics GP to a secure cloud environment or optimizing your current setup for maximum performance. Staying current with the latest version ensures you receive Greenstone’s longest support window

As your business grows and evolves, consider whether GP continues to align with your long-term goals. Connect with your Greenstone account manager to explore how we can help your operation scale efficiently and sustainably. 

Our Commitment to Your Success 

Greenstone’s values—growth orientation, collaboration, authenticity, and transparency—drive every decision we make. We recommend only solutions that strengthen your business today and prepare it for tomorrow. 

Visit our Knowledge Base for more CINCH resources or contact Support to discuss your path forward. 

A Migration Path Option to AGRIS 

While we remain committed to supporting CINCH, we’re also investing in your future through a structured, cost-effective option to transition to AGRIS, one of the nation’s most trusted agribusiness ERP solutions. 

Key Benefits: 

  • Data Migration Support: Our specialists ensure secure, efficient data transfer. 
  • Customer Loyalty Credit: We honor your CINCH investment through credits for existing licenses and integrations. 
  • Low Migration Cost: Financial incentives minimize transition costs and disruptions.

Whether you’re maximizing your current CINCH solution or planning a move to AGRIS, Greenstone remains your long-term partner in success.

Agribusiness Software – How to Choose the Right One https://greenstonesystems.com/agribusiness-software-how-to-choose-the-right-one/ https://greenstonesystems.com/agribusiness-software-how-to-choose-the-right-one/#respond Thu, 10 Apr 2025 13:27:58 +0000 https://greenstonesystems.com/?p=10186 Choosing the right agribusiness software can significantly impact your operation, improve efficiency, manage your margins, improve cost controls, and help you stay ahead in a competitive market

5 Key Factors to Consider

Choosing the right agribusiness software can significantly impact your operation, improve efficiency, manage your margins, improve cost controls, and help you stay ahead in a competitive market. With so many solutions available, the decision can feel daunting/overwhelming. To make the best choice, aligning the software with your business goals and evaluating each option carefully is essential.

Here are five essential factors to guide your decision:

1. Focus on ROI, Not Just Cost

While cost is always a factor, the real value in the efficiencies’ returns is known as Return on Investment (ROI). The correct partner and solution will help you streamline workflows, reduce manual activities, and allow you to do more with less.

For example, automating reconciliation processes can offer significant savings. One of our trade partners reported saving more than $56,000 annually by automating daily reconciliations—a previously done manual task. Upgrading your systems could result in substantial long-term gains, mainly if your system relies on manual reconciliation.

2. Prioritize Customer Support

Your software provider’s support team should feel like a trusted partner who is always there for the needs of your business. Look for providers that offer fast, knowledgeable, and reliable customer service.

Strong support teams prioritize urgent issues, respond promptly, and resolve technical problems efficiently, minimizing downtime and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. Excellent support can make a big difference in your experience, whether it’s troubleshooting or onboarding new features.

3. Ensure Seamless Technology Integration

Any new software should fit easily into your existing tech ecosystem. Whether you’re using legacy systems, accounting software, or on-site hardware, integration is key to avoiding inefficiencies and data silos.

Your agribusiness software must integrate with other solutions and allow data flow between platforms. Combining key functions with different solutions can significantly reduce duplication and human error. With accurate, real-time data, you can make faster, smarter decisions and keep your operation running smoothly.

4. Choose a Scalable Solution

Your grain operation today won’t look the same five years from now, so your software should be able to grow with you. Ensure your chosen system can handle increasing volumes, new commodities, multiple sites, and complex financial needs. If you’re acquiring new facilities or locations, being able to standardize processes is critical and timely.

A scalable platform eliminates the need for costly system changes, ensuring long-term efficiency as your business evolves.

5. Look for Real-Time Reporting and Analytics

In agribusiness, access to real-time insights can be a game-changer. Look for software with detailed reporting and analytics to track grain movement, inventory, financial performance, etc.

With real-time data, you can identify trends, forecast demand, monitor sales and purchases, and make data-driven decisions that benefit your business and growers.

The Bottom Line

Choosing the right agribusiness software isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about finding a solution that improves your operation now and supports your growth in the future. You’ll be well-positioned to make a smart, strategic investment in your business by focusing on ROI, support, integration, scalability, and analytics.
