Kolab Agro · Karo In build
From karo to market, every record kept.
Kolab Agro keeps farm records where the work happens: in the field, on a phone, with or without signal. Traceability for buyers, paperwork for schemes, and a cold chain that never goes unwatched.
- Field and harvest records kept in the karo, on a phone
- Treatments with withholding periods, traceable for supermarket buyers
- Cold chain temperature logs with alerts
- Livestock births, weights, treatments and lineage
Made for
The exercise book has done its time
Most planters and breeders keep good records; they just keep them in exercise books, on feed bags and in their heads. Then the supermarket buyer asks for treatment dates and withholding periods, the scheme form wants planted areas, and a week disappears into paperwork.
Kolab Agro keeps records where the work happens: in the karo, on a phone, with or without signal. Plantings, harvests, treatments, births, weights, feed and fridge temperatures are one tap each, and every entry is dated and traceable.
What comes out the other side is what buyers and schemes actually ask for: a traceability file per crop, a livestock history per animal, a cold chain log per chiller, and sales records with grading. The farm you already run, provable on paper.
In build, from bricks used in the field
Karo assembles two bricks that already work outdoors, plus scaffolding shared across the Kolab family.
- Farm records brick: births, feed and treatments captured in the field, built
- Cold chain log brick: fridge and chiller readings with excursion notes, built
- Member register brick for cooperatives
- Kiosk clock-in from Kolab HR for labour days
Modules
Everything inside Kolab Agro
Every module is a brick. Start with what hurts most, snap on the rest when you are ready.
Karo register
Every plot with its location, crop and area: the unit all other records hang from.
Planting & harvests
What went in and what came out, per karo per day, with weights and grades.
Treatments & withholding
Products, doses and operators, with a withholding clock that blocks early sales.
Livestock register
Births, weights, treatments and lineage, per animal or per lot.
Feed & input stock
Feed, fertiliser and treatment stock, drawn down as the field uses it.
Cold chain logs
Chiller readings twice a day, excursions noted, audit exports ready.
Sales & grading
Deliveries to buyers with weights, grades and prices, per crop and per buyer.
Cooperative members
Member records, their karo holdings and their deliveries, from the member register brick.
Labour days
Who worked which day on which karo; feeds Kolab HR when you use it.
Weather & cyclone prep
Daily weather notes plus cyclone checklists: secure the shade houses, harvest early.
Scheme paperwork
Exports shaped for Food Security Fund and similar scheme applications.
Yields & reports
Yield per karo, cost per crop, season against season.
A closer look
How Kolab Agro feels day to day
Plots, plantings and harvests in one register
Each karo carries its location, crop, area and history. Plantings and harvests are logged as they happen, so yield per plot stops being a guess and next season starts from evidence.
- Karo register with crop, area and location
- Harvest weights and grades per plot per day
- Season view: what was planted where, and what it gave
Treatments that respect the withholding period
Record a treatment in the field and the withholding clock starts. Karo blocks a harvest sale inside the window and builds the dated treatment history supermarket auditors ask to see.
- Withholding countdown per plot, visible to everyone
- Treatment log with product, dose and operator
- A traceability file per crop, export-ready for buyers
The chiller never goes unwatched
Twice-daily readings, excursion notes and alerts when a fridge drifts. When the supermarket audit comes, the cold chain log is already written.
- Readings logged in seconds against each chiller
- Excursions recorded with cause and action taken
- Weekly log exports for buyer audits
Births, weights, treatments, lineage
Every animal or lot carries its story: born, weighed, fed, treated, sold. Lineage is kept so breeding decisions build on records, and treatment withholding applies to animals just as it does to crops.
- Animal and lot registers with tag numbers
- Weight curves that show a problem early
- Vet treatments with withholding before sale
Local by design
Farming here, not in general
Scheme forms, supermarket audits and cyclone season are the realities of growing in Mauritius. Karo treats them as core features, not add-ons.
Scheme paperwork
Food Security Fund and similar applications want records you already keep in Karo: plantings, areas, inputs. Export them instead of rewriting them.
Supermarket traceability
Buyers audit treatments and withholding periods before they stock your crates. Karo answers with dated field records, not memory.
Cyclone prep
When a warning is issued, the cyclone checklist appears: secure the shade houses, harvest what is ready early, photograph damage after for claims.
Works in the karo
Field capture is built for no signal and dirty hands. Record now, sync when you reach the house.
Kreol in the field
Planters and field workers record in Kreol Morisien; the audit report comes out in English for the buyer.
WhatsApp to buyers
Harvest ready messages, grading notes and delivery confirmations reach buyers on WhatsApp, with the paperwork attached.
Boost in Kolab Agro
Farm records only work if they are kept daily. Kolab Boost makes the habit visible and worth keeping.
Record streaks
A day with every planned entry made, treatments, feeds, readings, extends the farm's streak, and the whole team sees it grow.
Cold chain guardians
Chiller checks done on time, morning and evening, earn steady points. The habit that saves a harvest deserves notice.
Harvest days
Big harvest days are logged with the crew that made them, so the season's effort has names on it when it ends.
In the wild
What it looks like in real businesses
Nutrient checks, plantings and harvest weights per greenhouse line, and a traceability file the supermarket auditor can read in ten minutes.
Lots, weights, feed and treatments per house, with withholding rules that block a sale before it becomes a problem.
Each member's karo, deliveries and grading in one register, so season-end statements are arithmetic, not arguments.
