business on a single digital platform
To control timely production cycles, to reduce contamination levels and to achieve end to end traceability for a capacity of 5 Million plants per annum
Introduction
We worked with a Fresh Produce start-up company in Bangalore with a focus on sourcing Fresh Produce directly from the farmers with no intermediaries. Their endeavour is to ensure the traceability of the farmer, his practices on the crops so that various interventions are possible on making the final produce of better quality & safe for the consumers.
Challenge
- Checking and calculating of all collected produce from 300 vendors daily, was done physically.
- This took up a lot of time as well as manpower. There was no access to real-time product-wise stock availability.
- Produce wastage was another problem. The client found it very difficult to manually keep track of the expiry dates of all the produce and hence, a lot of their produce went to waste on a daily basis.
- The only software used by the client was for accounting. No other software or platform was used for stock, vendor, labour management or even for their daily business operations. This hindered their progress and limited their potential.
Approach
Fruits and vegetables are perishable items and even delays of a day or two may incur huge losses. The client was facing a lot of major pain points in their day-to-day operations and we wanted to make their everyday work-life easier, more productive and their business profitable and efficient.
FarmERP provided an end-to-end solution that covered the client’s entire gamut of business operations right from when the produce arrives from the farmers, till it is sorted, processed, packaged and sent out for sale.
