The farm is on WhatsApp. The buyer wants a lot number.
Plutonic builds agriculture software for Indian agribusinesses — farmer CRM, field apps, lot tracking, and settlements that work with real connectivity.
- Your field officer's day is voice notes and a notebook that never becomes a plot record
- Farmers get different advice depending on who picks up the phone this week
- The buyer asks for origin and grade and you reconstruct it from Excel and WhatsApp photos
- Input sales, collections, and partner commissions are a Sunday spreadsheet
Overview
What an agribusiness actually needs from software
Challenges
If this is your week, keep reading
The visit happened. The record did not.
Surveys and WhatsApp updates never become a farm or plot file the next season can use.
- New officer, empty history
- GPS pin and farmer name do not match
- Season resets the spreadsheet
Advice depends on who is free
Agronomists reinvent answers every season while farmers get uneven guidance.
- Same pest, three different sprays in the group chat
- Approved protocol is a PDF nobody opens in the field
- No escalation when the case is not in the playbook
The lot loses its story at the gate
Quality, quantity, and origin blur between farm, aggregator, and processor.
- Grade is a WhatsApp photo of a slip
- Buyer cannot see which plots went into the bag
- Rejection starts a blame loop with no trail
Money is in Excel. Disputes are in chat.
Input orders, collections, and partner settlements are rebuilt by hand every cycle.
- Stock the retailer sees is not the warehouse
- Commission is an argument
- Collections live in the officer's head
Solutions
What we put in the field and at the gate
Solution 01
A plot record that survives the season
The mess
Farmer and plot data reset every year in chat and sheets.
What we put in
Mobile field apps and farmer CRM that capture plots, visits, and outcomes into one record the next officer can open.
- Visit with a pin, a photo, and a next action
- Works when the tower dies
- History the new officer does not have to guess
Solution 02
Advice from the playbook, not the group chat
The mess
Guidance quality depends on who picks up.
What we put in
Advisory tools grounded in approved agronomy content, with a human when the case is off-script.
- Approved protocol on the phone
- Same pest, same first answer
- Escalate to the agronomist with the plot history attached
Solution 03
A lot the buyer can trace
The mess
Origin and grade blur between farm gate and processor.
What we put in
Intake, lot, and quality workflows that keep chain-of-custody for the buyer and the partner.
- Grade and weight at intake, not later
- Lot identity through the warehouse
- Rejection with a reason the farmer can see
Solution 04
Settlements that are not a Sunday job
The mess
Orders, stock, and partner payments are rebuilt manually.
What we put in
Ops for orders, inventory, and settlements with a trail you can defend when someone disputes the number.
- Order against stock, not a voice note
- Commission in the record
- Collection against the farmer or retailer, not a notebook

Where to start in our practice
Why it matters
Why agribusinesses stay with us
We talk plots and lots, not satellite theatre
If we cannot name the field officer, the gate, and the settlement, we do not belong in the kickoff.
- Visit completion
- Lot disputes
- No buzzword kickoff
Phones, signal, and harvest calendars
We design for the week the team actually has, including the week the tower dies.
- Offline when needed
- UI in the language they use
- Pilot timed to the season
Traceability a buyer can check
Lot and grade in the record — not a certificate you print for the meeting.
- Intake evidence
- Lot identity
- Rejection with a reason
Start with the pain of this season
CRM or intake first. A full platform later, when the number moves.
- One workflow live
- Baseline before we start
- Expand when it pays
