Project Details

AgroCentral


Description

AgroCentral is an online platform which allows agri-businesses to the use the
vast amount of data involved in their day-to-day operations. Powered by Web-to-SMS and SMS-to-Web technology, AgroCentral works to link motivated buyer businesses, such as hotels and restaurants, directly with small farmers who previously relied on middlemen to sell their products. AgroCentral’s clients will be able to identify and purchase large quantities of produce straight from the farm, allowing farmers to trade directly with the end of the market chain. Middlemen, who currently maintain delays and high markups as they buy, will be significantly weakened, allowing for more competitive pricing and higher revenues for the producers.

AgroCentral is a cloud based SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) platform which allows agri-businesses to effectively communicate with their suppliers.
