Who is S&H Farm Supply

S&H Farm Supply is a farm supply and equipment company serving agricultural businesses, contractors, and rural customers across Missouri and surrounding states. While rooted in agriculture, S&H offers a wide range of products including heavy equipment, construction tools, lawn and garden supplies, and powersports. As a primarily B2B business, S&H relies on strong relationships, consistent communication, and repeat service revenue from parts and maintenance.
“

It hits all parts of the sales funnel. We get awareness, consideration, conversion, and even loyalty just by continuing to have conversations with customers.

Whitney DeVaughn
Marketing Director

Challenge

Before Kenect, S&H Farm Supply relied almost entirely on phone calls to communicate with customers. This created several key challenges:

‍

  • ‍Missed opportunities from unanswered calls— If a customer didn’t pick up, the conversation often stalled.‍
  • Limited communication flexibility —Customers increasingly preferred texting, but S&H had no way to meet them there.‍
  • Inefficient processes — Sales reps often had to leave the store for in-person visits, pulling them away from other customers.‍
  • Lost service and parts revenue — Without consistent follow-up, customers could slip through the cracks on quotes, part availability updates, and service status.‍
  • No scalable way to stay top-of-mind —Marketing lacked a direct, immediate channel to reach customers.

“We were missing the opportunity to consistently communicate… and keep customers for the add-on parts of the business.”

— Whitney DeVaughn, Marketing Director
