Case Study: Beck’s Hybrids achieves faster API development and streamlined farming operations with Postman

How Beck’s Hybrids Uses Postman for Better Farming

Beck’s, the largest family-owned retail seed company and the fourth-largest seed brand in the U.S., needed to scale its API efforts as a small tech team grew to more than 20 developers building APIs for sales, production/processing and its FARMserver precision farming platform. Sharing endpoint tests, sample responses and up-to-date docs across backend and frontend developers became difficult, so Beck’s adopted Postman and the Postman API Platform to serve as its centralized API “source of truth.”

Postman provided dedicated workspaces, collection imports, scripts, environment variables, ad hoc testing and auto-generated API documentation, which streamlined collaboration and testing across teams. Using Postman sped development and onboarding, improved testing of third-party integrations, and simplified documentation—helping Beck’s accelerate API delivery and enabling FARMserver to consolidate large datasets and integrations that boost farmer productivity, ROI and crop yields.
