How can Dairy Surveyor application help dairy cooperatives and producer owned institutions?

Infrastructure Mapping :

Dairy Surveyor application helps dairy cooperatives to map their supply chain infrastructures (i.e. DCS/MPP, BMC, Chilling Centres, Dairy Plants, Cattle Feed Plants, Milk Booths/Parlours, Retail sales points, etc.)

By mapping of dairy infrastructure, it makes easier for the milk unions in taking transportation decisions related to milk procurement and sales. In addition, it helps milk union in establishment and expansion of new DCS and collection centres along with route optimisation

Monitoring Field activities :

Dairy surveyor application can monitor progress of various field related activities such as artificial insemination, vaccination and other input activities

III. Procurement activities :

Identifying the DCS, Villages based on locational features
• Setting up the Chilling Centre, AI Centre & BMC
• Route Designing
• Understanding the village coverage
• Mapping of Milk Production and Milk Procurement
• Identification of Potential clusters
• Route-wise Analysis

Marketing activities :

Retail Mapping
• Plot/ locate own and competitor milk booths and parlors
• Spatial analysis of consumer data
• Demarcation of different zones
• Analyze markets demographics
• Analyze store product portfolio
• Milk and product distribution routes
• Sales Route Mapping

Digital Survey :

Traditionally, pen and paper are used for field survey in villages and towns Instead, Dairy Surveyor facilitates digital surveys via smart phones, which saves time and cost. Digital survey also reduces the chances of human errors.
