Pay every member from the weighed litre, the fat reading and the rate chart in force that day.
A dairy cooperative pools milk from member farmers, pays by fat and solids-not-fat, and sells the pooled milk to a union or processing dairy that returns its own weighment. The software holds the member register, shift weights, fat readings, the rate chart and the pay statement, with feed credit, loans and share capital on one account.
Every litre needs an honest account. Farmers pour at the society twice a day. The can is weighed, a sample goes to the analyser, and a rate is read off the chart in force that morning. At settlement a member wants that arithmetic on paper, and the committee wants the very same figure found in the ledger without a search.
Dairy cooperative software puts the member, the shift and the rate on one record, and the pay statement and the bonus sheet are built from it. Nothing is retyped. Bring a recent pay statement and we will mark each spot where your society copies a figure by hand, from the morning pour to settlement.
Members come before dawn. They return at dusk. The society secretary records member number, weight, sample ID and the fat and solids reading from the analyser, then the rate chart turns those readings into an amount. Milk is chilled in the bulk cooler, then loaded onto a tanker for the union or processing dairy, which sends back its own weighment and quality result. Gaps between the two figures go to the committee for an explanation: a leaking tanker hatch, a drifting platform scale, a missed entry.
Payment runs on a fixed cycle. Deductions for cattle feed, mineral mixture, veterinary visits, loan instalments and share contributions all come out of the one member account, in the order the board fixed by resolution. At year end the board declares a bonus, and the auditors ask for the ledger, the share register and the minute book behind every figure in it.

Can the analyser readings be loaded directly?
If the analyser writes a file, readings can be loaded against the member and shift without retyping, and the import is tested on real slips first. Where it cannot, the secretary keys the figures in. Set-up settles the method for each collection point.
Does it handle more than one village society?
Yes. Each village society keeps its own members, shifts, staff and collection centre, while the union office reads totals across all of them. A union auditor can open any total down to the single shift behind it and close the query without calling the secretary. A member belongs to one society at a time.
Can the rate chart change during the year?
A new chart is added with an effective date, and earlier shifts keep the chart that applied on their own morning, so a reprinted statement still matches the books.
Will the board see feed credit outstanding?
Yes. Feed and medicine credit is listed by member and by society, beside the milk income each member is likely to earn over the coming cycle. The board plans recovery from that comparison.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
