Process / seasonal
ERP for Agro Processing Units
Procurement is seasonal, moisture decides the rate, and one lot can end up in four grades. The weighbridge is the system of record whether the ERP knows it or not.

Your process
The stages, already mapped.
Cleaning, grading and packing with lot control. These are the stages the template ships with — machines and checks included. Yours will differ in detail; that is configuration, not development.

Who is it for
Not all agro processing units work the same way.
The template is the same; what it has to answer for is not. Find the one that sounds like you — if none of them do, say so on the call and we will tell you honestly whether this is the right fit.
Grain, pulse & oilseed processors
Seasonal procurement, moisture-driven yield, grade-wise output.
Cold-storage & pack houses
Lot ageing, chamber-wise stock and rental billing.
Agri-input & seed processors
Licence-bound lots and dealer-wise traceability.
MANUPRIME AI
Ask it about this floor, in your own words.
The AI reads the same records this template creates — so on a agro processing unit floor the questions it can actually answer are the ones you already ask at the morning meeting.
Questions it answers here
- “Why has out-turn % moved this week?” — currently 78% in the demo data
- “Why has sorter rejection moved this week?” — currently 3.4% in the demo data
- “Why has lot turnaround moved this week?” — currently 2.1 days in the demo data
- “Where is my wastage going?” — husk, dust, sub-grade, costed back to the batch that caused it
- “What am I short of in the next 14 days?” — with the covering purchase order drafted for approval
And what it is not allowed to do
It shows its working, or it does not answer
It drafts. A person releases
It sees only what the person asking can see
Quality
What quality control looks like here.
Checks that hold a dispatch, at the frequency this trade actually inspects.
| Parameter | Method | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture | Moisture meter | Every lot in/out |
| Foreign matter | Sieve analysis | Per cleaning lot |
| Aflatoxin (spices) | External lab | Per export lot |
Wastage and recovery
The part generic ERPs get wrong.
Most systems can only write material off. In this trade that is the difference between a costing you believe and one you argue with.
Rules that ship with this template
- Husk/dust by-product sold by weight
- Sub-grade produce priced per grade matrix
- Driage/moisture loss booked per lot
What drives your cost per unit
- Mandi price + cess per lot
- Out-turn (yield) % per grade
- Drying/energy cost per tonne
In short:Husk, dust, sub-grade.
Compliance
What this trade has to prove.
Configured, not bolted on afterwards — the records come out of the same transactions your floor is already entering.

Questions
Questions we get asked first.
Does it handle rate based on moisture and grade?
Yes. Receiving captures weight, moisture and foreign matter, and the payable rate is derived from them, so the farmer or trader payment matches what was actually delivered.
Can one lot yield several grades?
Grading splits an input lot into multiple output grades plus husk and dust, each valued, so recovery percentage is measurable per lot and per supplier.
Does it connect to the weighbridge?
Yes, weighbridge capture is a supported integration, so gross, tare and net come in without being re-typed.
