Milk journey

From the farm to the shelf in under 24 hours

Milk changes hands seven times. The ERP records litres, fat, SNF and temperature at every handover.

Why dairies switch

Five ways milk money goes sour

Each one is common in dairies still running on paper and Excel. Each one has a fix.

Paper slips at collection centres

Weights and fat readings are written by hand and disputed later.

Fixed with: Electronic weighing and analyser readings straight into the ERP

Farmer payments take days

Rates are worked out in Excel for thousands of farmers.

Fixed with: Fat and SNF rate charts with automatic 10-day bills

Adulteration slips through

Water and other adulterants are caught only at the plant.

Fixed with: Tests at the centre, with rejected milk recorded

Milk lost between stages

Nobody can say where the missing litres went.

Fixed with: Litre and fat balance at every stage

Returns and leakage unchecked

Crates come back and returns are never reconciled.

Fixed with: Route-wise dispatch, returns and crate tracking
Farmer payment

What should a farmer be paid for this milk?

Set litres, fat, SNF and your rates per kg of fat and SNF to see the price per litre, the day's payment and the 10-day bill. Figures are illustrative.

Amounts are converted at approximate rates. Your choice is remembered across pages.

Uses 1.03 kg per litre of milk. Excludes deductions, incentives and transport charges.

Route and collection

Every tanker, every chiller, every litre

Tankers follow planned routes to bulk milk chillers. Litres, temperature and seal numbers are captured at each stop, and the plant knows what is coming before it arrives. Sample morning route.

Quality testing

Tested at the centre, again at the plant

Fat, SNF, added water, temperature, MBRT and adulterants are tested and recorded. Milk that fails is rejected or paid at a lower rate, with the reason on the farmer's bill. Sample results.

Production and packaging

Where 10,000 litres of milk end up

Each batch is standardised for fat and SNF, then split into products. Yields are tracked so any loss shows up the same day. Sample day at the plant.

Thousands of farmer bills, ready on payment day

Every pour is priced from the rate chart. Feed, loans and other deductions are taken off, bonuses added, and the net goes to each farmer's bank account in one batch. Sample farmer.

Distribution and cold chain

Out by dawn, returns counted by noon

Distributors place indents the night before. Crates leave by route, returns are counted and the cold chain is watched all the way. Sample routes and tanker temperature.

FAQ

Dairy ERP questions

Straight answers to what dairies and cooperatives ask us most.

What is a dairy ERP?

A dairy ERP manages the full milk chain: procurement at collection centres, testing, chilling, tanker routes, farmer payments, processing and packaging, quality, cold chain and distribution, together with finance, stores and HR.

How are farmer payments calculated?

Each pour is priced from a rate chart using fat and SNF, either as a two-axis chart or as a rate per kg of fat and per kg of SNF. Bills are made for each payment cycle, usually 10 days, with deductions for feed, loans and other items.

Can it connect to milk analysers and scales?

Yes. Readings from electronic scales and milk analysers at the collection centre are captured automatically, so weights and fat values cannot be changed by hand.

Does it work at centres with poor internet?

Yes. The collection centre app works offline and syncs when the connection returns. Farmers can still get an SMS receipt for every pour.

Can it track milk loss between stages?

Yes. Litres, fat and SNF are balanced from centre to chiller, tanker, plant and products, so losses are visible at each stage.

Does it handle product yields and batches?

Yes. Each batch records milk used, fat and SNF standardisation, products made and yield, with full traceability back to the routes and centres.

Can distributors place orders online?

Yes. Distributors and retailers place indents through an app or portal. Dispatch, crates, returns and payments are tracked by route.

How long does implementation take?

Typically about 10 to 12 weeks for a dairy with collection centres and a processing plant, starting with a pilot group of centres.
