Seedbox Solution, a seed logistics and monitoring company based in Chicago, has merged with Trace Engineering, a Colorado-based provider of IoT hardware and software engineering services. Seedbox is a portfolio company of Granite Creek Capital Partners, and the merger integrates Trace’s engineering operations into Seedbox’s platform.
Founded in 2012 by Matt Dannenfeldt, Seedbox provides reusable seed packaging, fleet management, sensor-enabled monitoring, and real-time inventory tracking used by seed producers – corn, soy, cotton, and wheat – to manage quality and asset utilization. Matt Dannenfeldt serves as chief executive officer. Trace designs IoT devices, embedded software, cloud-connected systems, and data capture tools used by industrial and agricultural customers. The combined business monitors thousands of containers across seed production and distribution networks.
