The challenge
A farmer with 50,000 kg of potatoes loses out if they have to sell on a day the market pays ₹1 a kg. Stored safely until the price reaches ₹5, the same harvest is worth five times as much. Our client owns 10 cold storages that give farmers that option, and needed one system to manage slots, bookings and payments across all of them.
Our approach
- Built three connected portals, one each for the owner, the storage managers and the farmers.
- Gave managers a live view of free and occupied slots, so allocating space to a farmer takes a moment.
- Tied each booking to its payment and storage period, and gave the owner one view across all 10 storages.
Why storage matters
Same harvest, five times the value
An example from the brief: 50,000 kg of potatoes, sold now or sold after waiting for a better price.
Sold today₹50,00050,000 kg at ₹1 per kg
Sold after storage₹2,50,00050,000 kg at ₹5 per kg
Three portals
One system, three roles
One per storage
Runs a single cold storage: finds a free slot for each farmer, allocates it and takes the payment.
The customer
Stores their produce for two months, three months or longer, and can see what they have stored and for how long.
