How KhetiBuddy’s Solution Helped Kamala Farms Scale to Its Full Potential
Kamala Farms is a leading name in hydroponic farming in India, and faced its own set of challenges in scaling operations and managing its network of client’s farms. By adopting KhetiBuddy’s farm management solution, Kamala Farms transformed its business process and consulting practices, optimizing its processes and driving significant improvements.
Kamala Farms initially struggled with managing farm consultations and scaling operations efficiently. The need to transform farm consultations into measurable and optimized analytics was paramount. By adopting KhetiBuddy’s farm management platform, Kamala Farms aimed to capture all relevant farm data points and process them through advanced analytics tools. This transformation allowed for the development of a lean farming process, creating long-term value by delivering actionable insights to their clients remotely.
The engagement with KhetiBuddy began with clear goals aimed at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of Kamala Farms’ operations:
Grower-Client Registration and Management
Managing each farm and farmer network was critical for Kamala Farms. By registering farmers and their farms, Kamala Farms created a centralized, digitized repository of data, enabling better oversight and management.
Generating and Recommending Crop Schedules
Each farm has unique needs, and a one-size-fits-all approach to crop management was insufficient. Personalized crop schedules tailored to the specific needs of each farm ensured optimal farming practices and improved crop yields.
Remote Consulting
Providing continuous support to farm users throughout the crop’s life cycle was essential. Remote consulting via audio and video calls allowed experts to offer timely advice, troubleshoot issues, and ensure best practices were followed.
Farm Inventory Management
Efficient management of farm inventory was crucial for maintaining supply chains and recommending inputs proactively. This helped prevent shortages and ensured that farms always had the necessary resources.
Data Capture and Analysis
Capturing and analyzing farm data points enabled Kamala Farms to measure and improve farming processes. This data-driven approach facilitated informed decision-making and continuous improvement.
Consolidated Dashboard View
A single-view live dashboard provided a comprehensive overview of all farms. This real-time monitoring tool was vital for tracking progress, identifying issues, and making strategic decisions.
KhetiBuddy’s customizable farm app was at the heart of the solution provided to Kamala Farms. This app offered a range of features designed to meet the specific needs of hydroponic farming and deliver detailed insights for managing client farms effectively.
Branded Farm App
The farm app was tailored to support hydroponic farming processes as per Kamala Farms technical guide/PoP, providing flexibility and detailed insights. Farmers received comprehensive sowing to harvest crop life cycle management assistance, ensuring every aspect of farming – nutrient management, irrigation, and agro chemicals consumption was optimized.
Personalized Crop Schedules
The app allowed for the creation and assignment of personalized crop schedules, including nutrient management plans with products mapped to each batch. This customization ensured that each farm received the right inputs at the right time, maximizing crop health and yield.
Inventory Management and Tracking
The inventory management module tracked inventory levels, usage, and replenishment needs. This proactive approach to inventory management prevented shortages and ensured the timely availability of inputs.
Farmer and Farm Data Management
Maintaining a robust database of farmer and farm information was crucial. The app facilitated the collection and management of comprehensive data, providing a clear picture of each farm’s operations.
Crop Advisory via Ticket System
The ticket management system enabled farm users to seek advice and support through an audio, visual, or text based ticket system. Users could share farm photos and issues via the app, receiving expert advice promptly. Automation further simplified this process in responding to repeat queries with curative measures linked with their personalized crop schedule.
Broadcasting Alerts
The app also allows for the broadcasting of custom alerts, news, and schemes. This feature kept farmers informed about critical updates, ensuring they were always aware of the latest information and best practices.
The implementation of KhetiBuddy’s solution brought significant benefits to Kamala Farms, enhancing its operations and enabling it to scale effectively.
