Gylling Data Management, Inc

Welcome!

We at Gylling Data Management (GDM) create, market, and support ARM software for managing and summarizing agriculture research experiments.

ARM saves time creating trials, analyzing data, and producing the many reports required for successful and timely trial management.
ARM is a recognized and respected standard throughout the crop production and protection industry.
ARM is used by thousands of researchers in nearly 100 countries worldwide.

See GDM Overview (pdf) for information about GDM and our products, and Trial Management Software Features (pdf) for an overview of features our software provides.
