Software for Agro Processing
Processing agricultural inputs where yield varies with the crop and procurement is seasonal.
Agro processing takes a variable natural input and produces a graded output. Yield depends on the lot, moisture is both a cost and a quality parameter, and procurement is concentrated into a season that commits most of the year's working capital. The economics are decided at procurement and measured at processing.
What gets in the way
- Yield varies by lot and is compared against a standard that fits none of them
- Moisture affects both weight paid for and weight sold
- Procurement is seasonal and commits capital against uncertain yield
- Grading at intake is subjective and unrecorded
- By-products have value that is realised inconsistently
What the software handles
- Intake recorded with weight, moisture and assessed grade per lot
- Processing yield measured against the specific lot
- By-products recorded and valued rather than treated as waste
- Supplier performance compared on realised yield, not on rate
- Seasonal procurement planned against measured historical yield
What changes
- Procurement rates set against yield actually achieved
- Moisture treated as a measured cost rather than an argument
- By-product revenue counted
- Suppliers comparable on what their lots actually produce
