Producers

Tools for the cooperative and its producers, not just for the buyer.

Member registry, purchases, payments, premiums, training: we design, build and deploy tools that the cooperative itself uses, not just data collection tools for the benefit of its buyers.

The cooperative as the client

Every producer knows what they delivered and what they received.

A cooperative manages its members, its purchases, its premiums and its general assembly. A tool that is useful to its buyers must first be useful to the cooperative itself. We design it with the cooperative’s managers and test it with the agents who will use it.

  • A receipt for every weighing and every payment
  • Reports for the general assembly
  • Data access based on each person’s role

Our agritech domains

Lots 100% traced : Every lot linked to the plots its weight comes from, from bag to container.

A reliable producer registry

The registry is the reference to which every plot, every purchase and every payment is linked. We build it with no duplicates, from your existing lists.

What you need

  • One unique ID per producer, never reused
  • Scattered lists to bring together
  • An update every season

What we design

  • Migration, merging and de-duplication of your files
  • Producer records linked to plots
  • History of changes and who made them

Farm-gate purchases and weighing

An app that records weight, quality and price at the time of purchase, even with no network.

What you need

  • Purchases recorded at source, with no re-entry
  • Consistent volumes across purchase, stock and delivery

What we design

  • Offline data entry and synchronisation
  • Reconciliation of volumes purchased, stored and delivered
  • Alerts on inconsistencies

Offline data collection

Mobile money payments and premiums

We integrate mobile money into your purchasing tools to pay producers and premiums, with no need to transport cash.

What you need

  • Every payment linked to a delivery or a premium
  • Checks before every transfer

What we design

  • Payment preparation and reconciliation with purchases
  • An SMS receipt for every payment
  • Tracking tables and alerts on unusual amounts

Training and advice

Tracking each producer’s training and practices from one season to the next.

What you need

  • Knowing who was trained, on what and when
  • Evidence of training for audits

What we design

  • Training records per producer
  • Advice, prices and alerts by SMS or WhatsApp

Income and grievances

Household income data collection, using an explicit method, and a channel to receive and follow up producers’ grievances.

What you need

  • Income data presented with its limitations
  • A simple way to report an error or a problem

What we design

  • Questionnaires and samples defined with you
  • Grievance channel and response tracking

Access to finance

Delivery and payment histories that the producer or the cooperative can share with a microfinance institution, if they wish. The credit decision remains with the institution.

What you need

  • Reliable, exportable histories
  • Sharing decided by the producer or the cooperative

What we design

  • Delivery and payment statements per producer
  • Controlled sharing with a chosen institution

Finance and microfinance

Data protection

Producers’ data is protected.

A registry contains personal data. We design data collection in line with the country’s data protection law: in Côte d'Ivoire, Law No. 2013-450.

  • Informing producers about how their data is used
  • Access restricted according to each person’s role
  • Sharing with a buyer limited to what the buyer needs
Frequently asked questions

Your questions about cooperative tools.

Does every producer need a smartphone?
No. The cooperative’s agents and managers use the data collection app. Producers can receive their receipts and messages by SMS or WhatsApp.
Can you integrate mobile money payments?
Yes. We integrate the mobile money services available in your country, subject to each operator’s technical and contractual conditions.
Our member lists are on paper and in several files. Is that a problem?
It is not a problem. We bring these lists together, identify duplicates and check doubtful records in the field before building the registry.
Does the cooperative keep ownership of the data?
Yes. The data belongs to you and can be exported in open formats.
