Structured Reporting and Monitoring The platform now enables a highly effective reporting structure that accounts for multiple roles at both field and managerial levels. Specifically: Each Field Executive can view reports Farmer Group wise. Each Supervisor can view reports by Farmer Group or Field Executive. Each Manager can view reports by Farmer Group, Field Executive, or Supervisor. All levels can mark attendance during field visits using the Visit Report feature. Improved Oversight and Program Effectiveness Moreover, the system streamlines management of the large field force and their reporting officers. It ensures quality field visits through numerous control measures and verifies that no farmer is left unvisited. Additionally, automated feedback and audit forms can be easily deployed to evaluate program effectiveness, thus supporting continuous improvement.

Shreeja Mahila Milk Producer Company Limited (Shreeja MMPCL) is an all-women milk producer company headquartered in Tirupati. Since its inception in 2014, Shreeja has focused on empowering rural women milk producers. To manage its growing network efficiently, the organization implemented women dairy farmer traceability workflows, ensuring consistent registration, training, and monitoring across villages. Producer Network and Operational Challenges Shreeja operates through a large producer network supported by village-level procurement activities. This operating model relies heavily on accurate member records and timely field execution. As operations expanded, the organization needed to onboard new producers quickly while also delivering training in a consistent manner. At the same time, teams required clear visibility into who joined, who completed training, and what support remained pending. However, paper-based registers and scattered files slowed daily work. Moreover, these manual processes increased the risk of duplicate entries and missing information. Digitizing Registration and Training with Trace AgTech To support its scale goals, Trace AgTech digitized Shreeja’s farmer registration and training workflows. As a result, field teams now capture producer profiles in a consistent digital format. They validate key details during onboarding and record training participation village by village. Consequently, the organization gains a clearer picture of training coverage across locations. This visibility improves follow-up planning and significantly reduces last-minute data cleaning during reviews. Faster Reporting and Stronger Governance In addition, a single digital system improves reporting speed across teams. Staff generate summaries faster and share updates more confidently with management and partners. The system also reduces manual consolidation and dependence on paper lists and spreadsheets. Furthermore, digitized records create a cleaner operational trail for governance and audits. Overall, structured registration and training workflows strengthen execution discipline. They help Shreeja expand into new areas consistently while serving more women producers without adding administrative load. From Manual Records to Real-Time Visibility Shreeja’s rapid growth required a reliable way to onboard and train a large base of women producers while keeping data consistent across villages and field teams. Manual records created duplication risks, uneven data formats, and delays in producing accurate summaries for management and partners. To address this, Trace AgTech deployed a standardized digital onboarding and training workflow aligned with Shreeja’s field realities—high volumes, multi-location execution, and the need for uniform data capture. Field teams now register producers in a consistent format and log training delivery in real time. This approach creates a continuous pipeline from enrollment to capability building, with clearer tracking at every stage. Key Capabilities Delivered Digital farmer registration: Structured producer profile capture to reduce duplication and improve data completeness. Verification-ready farmer data: Standardized fields that support cleaner internal reviews and partner requirements. Training digitization: Digital logging of training sessions, attendance, and completion status for faster monitoring. Field-friendly workflows: Simple and repeatable processes for faster execution across locations. Reporting visibility: Faster summaries and exports to support reviews, follow-ups, and scale planning.

MILMA e‑Vet: A Digital Veterinary Workflow MILMA’s digital veterinary workflow, MILMA e‑Vet, combines a doctor mobile app with a management web portal. Consequently, it creates a fully trackable process from field visit to office review. MILMA (Kerala Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation—KCMMF) started in 1980 under Operation Flood and runs as a three-tier dairy cooperative in Kerala. Currently, it has 3,076 primary milk co-operative societies and 10.4 lakh milk-producing farmer members. Moreover, three regional unions coordinate this extensive network: TRCMPU, ERCMPU, and MRCMPU. Faster Field Case Recording With MILMA e‑Vet, veterinarians can now record cases in the field with minimal delay. For instance, doctors register new cases and update treatment notes on the spot. Additionally, they capture insurance details in the same workflow. The app also stores animal-wise histories in one place. Therefore, doctors can review earlier visits before starting treatment and track open cases until closure. Furthermore, monthly summaries on the mobile phone help doctors evaluate caseloads and outcomes more efficiently. Enhanced Management Visibility The MILMA e‑Vet web portal provides administrators with a clear view of doctor activity. As a result, teams can track doctor-wise cases, total volumes across locations, and spot reporting delays. Moreover, the portal supports payout processing and calculates payables using slab-based systems. Consequently, it reduces manual reconciliation, speeds approvals, and improves audit readiness by maintaining a transparent trail from case entry to settlement. Improved Medicine Inventory Oversight In addition, MILMA e‑Vet helps teams manage medicine inventory effectively. Staff can log available medicines, monitor expiry dates, and plan replenishment accurately. This reduces the risk of expired stock and supports better procurement planning. Similarly, supervisors can ensure doctors record cases consistently, while managers can compare workloads across teams. Overall, MILMA e‑Vet strengthens daily execution and oversight, supporting faster documentation, clearer reporting, and more transparent payments across the veterinary network. Challenges Before Digitization Before implementing MILMA e‑Vet, veterinary operations relied heavily on manual processes. Consequently, generating timely summaries, ensuring uniform documentation quality, and reconciling payments consistently were difficult. Moreover, medicine stock monitoring lacked visibility, increasing the risk of wastage and impacting availability. Trace AgTech Implementation To address these challenges, Trace AgTech implemented MILMA e‑Vet as a connected system. Specifically, the mobile app standardizes field data capture by veterinarians, while the web portal consolidates reporting, payout computation, and inventory oversight. During rollout, focus remained on making case entry simple and repeatable in the field. Meanwhile, management gained structured, doctor-wise visibility for operational governance. As a result, the system ensures consistent documentation and quick reconciliation between service delivery and administrative settlement.

Nedspice is a privately-owned group of companies with worldwide activities in the sourcing, processing, and distribution of spices, herbs, and dehydrated vegetables. Nedspice is headquartered in the Netherlands and operates processing facilities in India and Vietnam. Sales offices, warehouses, and distribution facilities are located in the Netherlands, India, Vietnam, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and China. Nedspice has a Farmers Partnership Programme (NFPP) that trains farmers to make their cultivation practices more environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable. Through training and on-farm support, they help to develop sustainable and profitable farms that produce high-quality and safe spices. Over 4,000 farmers have enrolled in this program covering over 22,000 ha of land across multiple crops. Challenge Nedspice is not new to the application of technologies in agriculture.  They were using very extensive farm management software from a pioneer in the industry.  However, there were many gaps in their expectations. Complicated data collection system: Field Executives found the mobile application too complicated to use.  This led to huge backlogs in data capture, defeating the whole purpose of the software. Privacy and Security of farmers’ data: Data privacy and security is of utmost importance for Nedspice and non-negotiable.  The supplier of the software they were using had to keep all the data on their own server.  For Nedspice this is a potential risk to the privacy and security of their data. Too much data gathering: The software system they were using asked the field executives to collect a lot of field data.  Many of these data were not used at all in any of their reports or analysis.  This was a waste of resources. Difficulty in tracking movement of the Field Executive: Nedspice was finding it difficult to look into the daily activities of their field staff. Lack of customization: Nedspice has evolved a unique system of working with farmers and has created its own farm practice recommendations based on years of experience and research.  The existing software did not allow Nedspice to fully utilize the potential of its knowledge base. Solution Data on Nedspice’s own server: All data are stored only on the server owned by Nedspice.  This ensures 100% control over the data by Nedspice. Simplified geo-tagging/geofencing so that the field executive did not have to walk around 2-10 hectares of land in the sun Very intuitive screens for data collection. Data collection from a farm now completed in less than a minute. Collected only those data that would help in decision making Visit Module: Field executives log in using the NFPP mobile app when they visit a farmer by taking a picture with the farmer.  This picture is geolocation and the time is stamped into the picture automatically, helping in making detailed analysis regarding the visits. Solution provided mirrored all of Nedspice’s processes and systems Provided all reports that Nedspice management wanted and in their formats Software is customized to Nedspice. Approach Corbel did not get down to creating a software solution. The Corbel team traveled to the farms under the Nedspice’s program and spent days with the farmers and the field executives. We discussed with the Management team for clarity on the below points: Their expectations from this program Critical factors affecting the success of the program Deviation indicators Control points Working backward: Based on the inputs from the farmers, field executives, and the requirements from the management team, we worked out a system highly focused and customized to Nedspice’s requirements: Result Nedspice is the owner of all their data. No data sitting on any external server. Nedspice has custom-configured software meeting 100% of their requirements. Data collection from the field happens smoothly and on time. Reduces time and energy spent on reminders and follow-ups. Field Executives are now able to spend more time-solving farmer problems than worrying about data entry into the mobile app. Decision-making is faster and real-time. The visit report module gives full control to the manager over the field executives’ visits.
