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

Understanding the Impact of the Clean Fuel Production Credit – US Code 45Z https://greenstonesystems.com/the-impact-of-the-clean-fuel-production-credit-in-agriculture/ Thu, 24 Oct 2024 13:55:04 +0000 https://greenstonesystems.com/?p=9867 US Code 45Z is an initiative designed to promote the use of domestically sourced feedstocks in the production of clean transportation fuels.

For months, we’ve been delving into the implications of US Code 45Z, the Clean Fuel Production Credit, and what it means for our customers, market, and industry. Let’s look at some of the details.

What is US Code 45z?

US Code 45Z is an initiative designed to promote the use of domestically sourced feedstocks in the production of clean transportation fuels, such as:

  • Ethanol
  • Biodiesel
  • Renewable diesel, and
  • Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)

Credit Amount: The credit amount is determined by the specific type of fuel produced and its effectiveness in reducing emissions.

US Code 45z and the Ag Industry

According to S&P Global Commodity Insights

This could drive an estimated growth of an additional 1.4 billion gallons of renewable diesel and biodiesel by 2030.

Susan Reidy, World-Grain

While foreign feedstocks will still play a role in the biofuel sector, this credit incentivizes manufacturers to prioritize domestic options.

By doing so, we can strengthen our local agricultural economy and support US farmers. The potential benefits of this shift are substantial, as it could reshape the rationale behind using lower-cost foreign feedstocks. The structure of the production tax credits is a base amount per gallon and utilizes an emissions factor from production. A bonus credit currently available is five times the base amount for facilities that meet additional requirements relating to prevailing wages and other personnel requirements. The credits could be substantial for producers and those participating in the commodity trade.

Committed to Support You

As part of the US agriculture industry, Greenstone Systems is committed to investing in our domestic farmers and strengthening our products through initiatives like the Clean Fuel Production Credit to boost the US economy and reinforce the cooperative system that supports our farmers.

Cultura Technologies is constantly engaged in thought leadership for our industry and customers. To maximize these opportunities, we closely collaborate to develop unique systems that identify usage, clarify regulatory qualifiers, and track performance.
