At most milk counters, every can still goes into a paper register

Every can goes in a register, every rate comes from a printed FAT chart, and 10 days of milk are added up by hand before payday.

The morning rush

Forty farmers wait in line. Each entry needs litres, FAT and CLR, and a slip they can take home.

"Last month the rate was higher"

Rates change with the chart. Without a record of which chart applied on which day, every payday becomes a debate.

The net drops at 6 am

Villages lose signal often. Software that stops when the internet stops goes back in the drawer.

From a morning at the counter to working software

Five steps. Testing sent the work back more than once before it held.

1 Empathise

A morning at the counter

The team sat with operators through a morning shift, then read 10,028 reviews of other dairy apps.

6:10 am First can on the scale. The rate comes from a printed chart.
6:12 am The farmer waits for a slip written by hand.
6:30 pm Morning and evening totals added up on paper.
The 10th Payday, and the arguments about rates.
2 Define

One person to design for

The operator at a private collection centre. They enter the milk, and the centre pays for the software.

The question: price a can and hand over a slip before the next farmer steps up, with or without internet.

Who The operator, not the farmer
When 6 am, a line at the counter
Where A village where the net drops
3 Ideate

Several drafts for every big choice

The logo, the home page and the farmer's bill were each drawn three or four ways and compared side by side. The website alone went through 24 option boards.

What the reviews changed in the product

Six complaints, six features, all live.

Saved here first, sent later

Entries save on the computer and send when the net returns.

One formula, the whole chart

The chart stays on the computer. A reading it cannot price goes back to hand entry, never ₹0.

A bill that needs no login

The 10-day bill is a WhatsApp link: no app, no OTP, no edits.

Fix it at the counter

Any entry can be corrected, and any day's rate chart opened again.

Feed and advance on the same bill

Advances, deductions and product sales come off the 10-day bill.

Machine readings, hand entry kept

Analyser and scale fill the reading over a cable. Typing over it is allowed.

Rules every screen follows

123 Number keypad on every reading field.
₹1,24,560 Indian digit grouping, aligned figures.
Enter One key saves and prints the slip.
हिंदी The bill message on WhatsApp is in Hindi.

The sum a counter does 300 times a morning

Litres, FAT and CLR go in. SNF, rate and amount come out. This is the demo dairy's formula, so move the readings.

SNF = CLR ÷ 4
  + 0.21 × FAT + 0.36
Rate = ₹2.67
  + 5.40 × FAT + 0.54 × CLR
