- Who it's for
Commercial farms and estates run like businesses with many small daily decisions. We build farm management tools that record what happened on each plot and what it cost.

How to start
Tell us what you need in your own words. You talk to the developers who would build it and get a written, line-item estimate.
Get a project estimateRunning a farm like the business it is
Tea and coffee estates, orchards, polyhouse growers and large commercial farms manage many plots, seasonal labour, input purchases and harvests sold to different buyers. Records often sit in the supervisor's notebook, so owners learn the cost per acre only after the season. We build apps that supervisors use in the field and owners review from anywhere, with plot-level records of work, inputs and yield.
Challenges
What makes farm records difficult
Unknown plot-level costs
Inputs and labour aren't allocated to plots, hiding which crops pay.
Labour attendance and wages
Daily and piece-rate workers paid from handwritten musters.
Missing spray logs
Pesticide applications and pre-harvest intervals go unrecorded, a problem for export buyers.
Absent owners
Owners managing remotely rely on phone calls for daily updates.
Solutions
Recommended software for farms
Custom inventory software for multi-location stock, batch and expiry tracking, barcode scanning and marketplace stock sync.
Custom HRMS covering attendance, leave, payroll with Indian statutory deductions, onboarding and an employee self-service app.
Brand-owned online stores for D2C companies, with conversion-focused checkout, retention tools, server-side tracking and multichannel stock sync.
Ordering portals and apps for manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers, with buyer-specific pricing, credit limits, bulk ordering and ERP sync.
Farm management features
Plot and crop cycle records
Mapped plots, varieties, sowing and harvest dates, and activity history.
Labour muster
Attendance, piece-rate counts and wage calculations with UPI or bank payouts.
Input store and spray log
Fertiliser and pesticide stock issued to plots, with dates and doses recorded.
Irrigation scheduling
Schedules by plot, with optional soil moisture sensor readings.
Harvest and sales
Yield per plot, grading and dispatch to buyers with lot traceability.
How it works
A day on the farm, recorded plot by plot
- Farm supervisor
Step 1: Morning muster
Workers are marked present against a plot and task on the supervisor’s phone, including piece-rate jobs such as plucking or picking.
- Store keeper
Step 2: Inputs issued to plots
Fertiliser and pesticide leave the store against a specific plot, so stock levels and plot costs update together.
- Farm supervisor
Step 3: Sprays and field work logged
Spray date, product, dose and pre-harvest interval are recorded with a photo, picked from lists rather than typed.
- Irrigation schedule
Step 4: Irrigation run
Plots due for water appear on the day’s schedule, adjusted by soil moisture readings where sensors are installed.
- Harvest team
Step 5: Harvest weighed and lotted
Yield from each plot is weighed and graded, and every lot gets an ID that buyers can trace back to its spray records.
- Owner dashboard
Step 6: Owner reviews costs and wages
Cost per acre, wages due and yield by plot are visible from anywhere, and wages go out by UPI or bank transfer.
Then it starts again at step 1: Morning muster

Plain-English glossary
Farm management terms, explained
- Pre-harvest interval (PHI)
- The minimum number of days between a pesticide’s last spray and harvest. Export buyers check it, so recording it for every plot protects your market access.
- Muster
- The daily attendance register for farm workers, often with piece-rate counts alongside. Keeping it on a phone makes wages accurate and disputes rare.
- Piece rate
- Paying workers for output, such as kilograms plucked, rather than by the day. The app records counts per worker, so pay matches the work actually done.
- Lot traceability
- Linking each harvested lot to its plot, dates and spray records. It answers buyer questions quickly and limits the damage when a quality complaint arrives.
Product preview
What supervisors and the farm owner see
Sample screens for a grape and pomegranate farm; figures are illustrative.
Supervisor app. Supervisors log sprays and field work in their own language from simple lists, and entries save offline until the phone finds signal. 
Supervisor app. Attendance and piece-rate counts are captured at the plot, so weekly wages are worked out from records rather than a notebook. 
Owner dashboard. Owners see cost per acre, wages due and yield by plot from anywhere, instead of waiting for the season-end accounts.

Cost drivers
Cost drivers for farm software
Farm size and crops
More plots and crops mean more masters, reports and training.
Labour rules
Piece rates, shifts and contractor payments add wage logic.
Sensors and hardware
Soil sensors, weather stations or weighing scales need integration.
Estimates are written from your scope, with the effort and assumptions behind each line item.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there a ready-made farm management app we could use instead?
Several exist, and for a straightforward single-crop farm one may be enough. Custom development makes sense when you grow several crops with different cycles, pay labour on piece rates, supply export buyers who want specific records, or need the data joined to your own sales and accounts. We're happy to review an existing app with you first and build only what it can't do.
Can the app keep the records export buyers ask for?
Yes. Export buyers and programmes typically want plot-level spray records, pre-harvest intervals, input purchase details and harvest lot traceability. The app captures these as supervisors work and produces a record per harvest lot. Specific schemes, such as the traceability systems APEDA runs for certain fresh produce exports, have their own formats; we map your records to them.
Will supervisors actually use it in the field?
That is the main design constraint. Supervisors record work on an Android phone in the local language, pick from lists rather than typing, and add photos or voice notes. Entries save offline and sync when the phone finds signal. We train supervisors on site and keep screens simple enough that the app takes less time than the notebook it replaces.
