Get a project estimateTwice a day, every day
Indian dairies collect milk from many small farmers at village centres, test it for fat and SNF, pay according to rate charts, chill it in bulk milk coolers and move it to processing plants. Branded dairies and farm milk businesses then deliver packets and bottles to households every morning. Each step runs on tight timing and small margins, so accurate collection data and dependable subscriptions matter.
Challenges
Where dairy operations leak value
Collection disputes
Manual readings of weight, fat and SNF lead to payment disagreements.
Complex payment cycles
Farmer payments net of cattle feed, advances and other deductions.
Cold chain gaps
Chilling temperatures and tanker times are not monitored.
Subscription churn
Pauses, quantity changes and missed payments handled over phone calls.

How it works
From the village collection centre to the morning doorstep
- Farmer
Step 1: Farmer pours the milk
At the collection centre the farmer’s code is entered and the milk is weighed on an electronic scale connected to the app.
- Milk analyser
Step 2: Fat and SNF tested
The analyser reading flows straight into the app and the rate chart sets the price, so nobody retypes numbers or argues over them.
- Collection centre app
Step 3: Slip issued, ledger credited
A printed slip or SMS confirms the reading, and the farmer’s ledger is credited for that shift’s milk.
- Chilling centre
Step 4: Milk chilled and moved
Bulk milk cooler temperatures are logged, and tanker dispatch and plant receipt times are recorded against each load.
- Dairy office
Step 5: Farmers paid each cycle
Cattle feed, advances and loan instalments are deducted, and once approved, each farmer’s net amount is paid to their bank account or UPI ID.
- Delivery partner app
Step 6: Branded milk reaches homes
Morning routes are built from active subscriptions, with the previous night’s pauses and extra orders already applied.

Plain-English glossary
Dairy terms, in plain English
- SNF (solids-not-fat)
- The protein, lactose and minerals in milk apart from fat. Together with fat it sets the price paid to farmers, so accurate readings prevent most payment disputes.
- Rate chart
- The price table that turns fat and SNF readings into a per-litre rate, by season and centre. Applying it automatically makes every farmer payment explainable.
- Bulk milk cooler (BMC)
- A refrigerated tank at a village or cluster that chills milk soon after collection. Logging its temperature protects quality until the tanker arrives.
- Pre-debit notification
- The advance notice sent to a customer before each UPI AutoPay charge. It keeps subscription billing within payment rules and gives households time to query a bill.
Product preview
Collection, subscription and office screens
Illustrative screens with sample readings and rates.
Collection centre app. Readings from the scale and analyser fill in automatically and the rate chart sets the price, removing the usual source of disputes. 
Milk subscription app. Subscribers pause, add items or change quantities before the nightly cut-off, and bills adjust through the wallet or UPI AutoPay. 
Dairy office dashboard. Managers watch collection volume, milk quality and cooler alerts across centres, and approve cycle payouts from one screen.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can the app read directly from our milk analysers and scales?
In most cases. Many analysers and electronic scales at collection centres output readings over serial, USB or Bluetooth, which an Android device or small connected unit can read. Direct capture removes manual entry, the usual source of disputes. Some older machines use proprietary formats, so we test each model first and keep supervisor-approved manual entry as a fallback.
How does UPI AutoPay work for milk subscriptions?
The customer approves a recurring UPI mandate once in their UPI app, with a maximum amount and frequency. Your system then charges the actual bill within that limit after sending the required pre-debit notification. Pauses, vacations and extra orders simply change the amount billed. Customers can revoke the mandate from their UPI app, so make plan changes easy inside yours.
Can the system handle farmer deductions like cattle feed and advances?
Yes. Each farmer has a ledger where milk earnings are credited per shift and deductions recorded: cattle feed bought on credit, advances, loan instalments and society contributions. At the end of each cycle the system calculates the net amount, generates a statement in the farmer's language and prepares bank or UPI payouts for approval.
