Project Solution

The NineHertz rebuilt the client's website using PHP with a MySQL database and added traffic tracking functionality. They developed two custom software products including an ERP called iFarm and corresponding iOS and Android mobile apps that sync production data to a web-based platform. The web platform supports sourcing and purchasing farm products with integrated payment processing; the vendor also provides design, mobile development, web development, and QA services and is developing an e-commerce platform to connect farmers and buyers.

Project Outcome

Cooperatives are already using the platform to source farm products and pay farmers
Customers report that the solutions have made their work easier and show positive early adoption
The e-commerce platform is still in development and not yet launched
