Origin
APPSolve Agri originated due to a need for software systems in Southern African countries specialising in warehouse receipts and micro-financing.
The software system started as a simple database for capturing and storing farmer information and documents. The system grew to accommodate multiple agricultural commodity and finance industry needs.
APPSolve Agri offers a suite of applications that can be used individually or simultaneously and provides all types of projects, small or large, irrespective of different requirements.
Why APPSolve Agri?
APPSolve Agri aims to provide a suitable software system to their clients that accommodate all the agricultural environment’s general and specific needs. It tracks products from the farmers through the value chain to the final consumer.
The APPSolve Agri application provides an online platform to store and analyse the data and upload documents of any type for any stakeholder, business and/or farming operation in terms of production, loans, transportation, storage, and sales.
The application can also be integrated with most other software systems, for example, financial packages, ensuring no double capturing of data.
