Croft Achieves Record Growth, New Strategic Investors, & National Expansion As First Digital H-2A Farm Manager Platform

Published

on

Thousands of H-2A Grower/Employer customers in 45 states, nationwide investors, and a mission to digitally transform agribusiness operations.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Croft Technology, Inc., “Your Digital H-2A Farm Manager,” has reached new milestones in serving labor-intensive agribusinesses. By replacing inefficient and costly manual workflows, Croft’s collaborative, configurable, and affordable online software is digitally transforming farm office operations across 45 states for greater efficiency, savings, compliance, and profitability.

With 2,000% revenue growth over the past 12 months and customers spanning nearly 95% of the U.S., Croft is redefining how farms manage back-office activities and workforce operations. Through Croft Connect (for H-2A growers/employers), Croft Case Manager (for H-2A agents), and Croft Recruiter (for H-2A recruiters), the platform streamlines farm office activities year-round for every participant in the H-2A ecosystem – preseason (incl. onboarding), midseason, end-of-season, and postseason. The result is a seamless experience for farm owners, their staff, workers (domestic and H-2A seasonal), H-2A agents, and recruiters.

“For years, H-2A farm managers of both large and small farms have turned to Croft to modernize their operations to enhance their business viability. They appreciate how accessible, farm-focused, and cost-effective our platform is, and they’ve been instrumental in sharing Croft with their peers,” said Scott Prince, CEO of Croft.

A Nationwide Network of Support

Formed and venture-backed by Purdue University’s College of Agriculture DIAL Ventures in 2022, Croft secured additional investment in 2024 from a national network of strategic, ag-centric investors. This group includes investors from Indiana, Iowa, Florida, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Illinois, Louisiana, Montana, and California. These investors bring deep expertise and provide local presence in regions where Croft’s customer base continues to expand.

“Croft’s platform is revolutionizing how farms handle back-office and workforce management,” said Ben Williamson, Managing Partner at Grit Road Partners, the lead investor in the round. “As ‘Your Digital H-2A Farm Manager,’ Croft simplifies labor management while delivering measurable results for the ag industry.”

Looking Ahead to 2025

Croft now serves thousands of H-2A employers, supporting a diverse range of farm sizes and types, from large-scale operations to smaller farms, farm labor contractors, with specialization across row crops, seed production, fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural sectors. In 2025, Croft plans to enhance its digital platform with new features and expanded capabilities tailored to meet the needs of this broad farming community.

“Croft is a B2B SaaS company delivering immediate ROI for our H-2A customers,” said Prince. “Streamlining farm back-office activities remains our core mission, and we’re building Croft Business Intelligence to deliver strategic, actionable insights for farm profitability. This innovation will help growers make better enterprise decisions while transforming some expensive fixed costs into controllable, affordable variable costs.”

SpeedBuilder Systems Celebrates 25 Years of Building Technology and Lasting Relationships in the P&C Insurance Industry

Published

on

By

From its beginnings with a rating solution to an integrated insurance platform, SpeedBuilder Systems marks a quarter-century of helping insurers adapt, innovate, and grow.

COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SpeedBuilder Systems, Inc. (SBS), an award-winning provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, is celebrating its 25th anniversary, marking a quarter-century of delivering flexible insurance technology and building long-term relationships with its clients.

Founded on October 10, 2001, by Rod Giess, president of SpeedBuilder Systems, the company began with a vision and a rating solution designed to help insurers bring products to market more efficiently.

“When I started SpeedBuilder Systems, my goal wasn’t to be the biggest. It was simply to be the best at delivering quality technology that would help our clients get to market as quickly as possible,” said Giess. “I believed then, as I do today, that innovative insurance companies deserve access to sophisticated technology, regardless of their size.”

As the business developed, Giess recognized the need for a policy administration system to complement the company’s rating solution. What began as two complementary capabilities has grown into the BindExpress Suite, an integrated insurance platform supporting policy administration, rating, underwriting, billing, claims, and other core insurance operations. Designed for small to medium-sized property and casualty insurers and managing general agents (MGAs), the platform provides the flexibility to accommodate unique business requirements while supporting growth and changing market demands.

Throughout its history, SBS has maintained a consistent philosophy: technology should support an insurer’s business objectives rather than dictate how the organization operates. That approach is reflected in the company’s commitment to configurable software, long-term technology planning, and close collaboration with its clients.

“I’m very proud of how far this company has come, but what means the most to me are the relationships we’ve built along the way,” Giess continued. “Our clients have trusted us with an important part of their businesses, and we’ve never taken that responsibility lightly. I’m grateful to our clients for their continued partnership and to our team, past and present, whose dedication and hard work have brought us to this milestone.”

As SpeedBuilder Systems looks ahead, the company remains committed to helping insurers adapt to an evolving industry while maintaining greater control over their technology and business operations. The company will continue investing in its technology, strengthening client relationships, and supporting insurers as they pursue new opportunities.

About SpeedBuilder Systems

Founded in 2001, SpeedBuilder Systems, Inc. provides enterprise-class insurance software solutions for small and medium-sized property and casualty insurers and MGAs. Its BindExpress Suite® is an integrated set of components including policy administration, rating, automated underwriting, agent and consumer portals, product configuration, billing, claims, automated workflow, and document generation. The company’s AlwaysCurrent Architecture™ enables customers to tailor the system to their unique requirements while adopting future product enhancements without costly retrofitting of customized code.
