Background
Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) play a vital role in improving the livelihood of small and marginal farmers. However, most FPOs face challenges in governance, financial transparency, inventory tracking, and compliance management due to manual processes and lack of integrated systems.
To address these challenges, Karabi Software Pvt. Ltd. deployed its low-code platform to build a custom ERP solution tailored for FPOs.
The Challenge
- • Lack of proper accounting and compliance tools for FPO governance.
- • Manual data collection processes leading to information loss and errors.
- • Poor visibility of inventory, procurement, and sales operations.
- • Difficulty in integrating farmer-level data with FPO-level reporting.
- • Limited market linkage and absence of real-time analytics for decision-making.
