From grower registration to cane survey, in six clear steps.

CDA gives a sugar mill's cane development team one place for growers, plots, seed, inputs, field work and service partners. The office works on the web; field staff, growers and ATSP partners use their phones.

3How a cane season moves

The same six steps every season. Office steps are on the web; field steps are on the FDS app.

1 · Set up the millzones, blocks, circles,villages and growers2 · Plan the seasontargets per FDS,planting indents3 · Seed and soilseed booked and given,soil tested per plot4 · Plantingplantation entrywith variety and area5 · Care of the croppractices, sprays,pest and disease6 · Survey and reportGPS plot survey,dashboards and MIS
  1. Set up the mill.Add zones, blocks, circles, villages, societies, centres and growers, or import them from CSV. Add plots with khasra number and area. Pick the varieties, seed types and methods the mill uses.
  2. Plan the season.Give each FDS an area target. Growers' planting requests (indents) are recorded with area, variety and planting method.
  3. Seed and soil.Seed is reserved, matched to suppliers, raised in nurseries and given out. Soil is tested and the report saved for the plot.
  4. Planting.The FDS records the plantation: plot, variety, method, seed used, row spacing, intercrop and area in acres and hectares.
  5. Care of the crop.Agri practices, foliar sprays, pest and disease control are logged against each planted plot.
  6. Survey and report.The FDS walks the plot corners to save GPS points and the surveyed area. Dashboards show targets against work done, by mill, zone and FDS, with area and rainfall reports.

4Inputs reach growers

Fertiliser and other inputs move down four levels, and every level signs for what it gets.

  1. Mill store.Stock is added with item, quantity, unit and rate.
  2. Zone.The mill issues stock to a zone. The zone accepts it in its pending list.
  3. FDS.The zone issues to an FDS, who accepts it in the app.
  4. Grower.The FDS hands over the input. The grower gets a code on their phone, and the FDS types it in to prove the hand-over.
Every move keeps the opening and closing quantity, so the mill can see what is left at each level at any time.

5Booking an ATSP

ATSP means Agriculture Technical Service Provider: a partner with tractors or tools who does land work for growers, at the partner's own rates.

📍

Find and book

The grower picks a plot and a service, sees nearby ATSPs and sends a request.

✅

Accept and work

The ATSP accepts, then taps start and stop for each work session. Hours add up on their own.

💳

Pay and rate

When the job is done it is marked paid, and the grower gives the service a rating.

6Queries, suggestions and tasks

  • Grower queries. A grower asks a question, with a video if needed. It goes to their FDS, or to the ATSP for a booking, and both sides chat in the app.
  • Suggestions. The mill shares crop advice. Growers like and rate it, so the mill sees what helps.
  • Tasks and to-dos. The mill assigns tasks from templates. Staff close them in the app, and the task report shows who is behind.
  • Ads. Namisite can show campaign banners in the apps from the superadmin site.

  3. Sign in.On approval the visitor gets an email with a login for the demo mill (state Uttar Pradesh, mill 200). The trial lasts 14 days unless set otherwise.
