A producer company managed by AKRSP(India) manages a 4,000-farmer producer company. The company main office struggles to collect various types of information from its farmers. During harvest season, the main office must know how much of each crop the company is expected to harvest, and when. Currently this information is collected manually, in person and over the phone, making it inefficient and expensive. Moreover, the lack of real-time information often results in lost sales and difficulty managing logistics. Using Awaaz.De the producer company has deployed a voice-based survey which farmers call into and enter expected harvest for each crop. The data is aggregated in real time in a report that the main office can access over the Internet, saving them time and money, and ultimately making them better able to execute sales. Complementing the data collection, the producer company will use Awaaz.De to disseminate agricultural locally relevant agricultural advice through a combination of question and answer and message broadcast. This two-way solution can help any producer company or cooperative gain efficiences, and also effectively reach out, connect, and build capacity amongst its constituent farmers.
