PAYOUTS
Sourcing in cash, selling on trust, reporting in spreadsheets.
Agribusinesses across East Africa source from thousands of smallholders, pay in cash or mobile money, grade on intake and sell to buyers who want to know exactly where produce came from. Hold that together in spreadsheets and the gaps show: member balances drift, payouts are slow, and traceability is a scramble when a buyer asks. Odoo puts sourcing, the farmer registry, payouts and the books in one place.

Growers, cooperatives, processors and traders across East Africa.
How it looks in practice
Two agribusinesses, anonymised.
A dairy cooperative paying members on time.
A cooperative collecting milk from smallholder members ran intake books on paper and paid out late. We set up a member registry with daily intake capture, automatic deductions for inputs and advances, and M-Pesa payouts straight from Odoo, so each member can be told what they delivered and what they're owed.
- Member registry & daily intake
- M-Pesa B2C payouts with deductions
- Per-member statements
A processor with traceability buyers can audit.
An export-focused processor needed to price intake by grade and prove where a consignment came from. We configured weighbridge intake with grade and moisture capture, grade-based pricing, and lot tracking from farm plot through processing to dispatch, so export documentation comes out of the same system.
- Weighbridge & grade-based intake
- Lot traceability to dispatch
- Export documentation
FAQ
Agribusiness questions.
The five we get asked on almost every agribusiness call.
Ask us something else →01 Can Odoo pay farmers and members by M-Pesa?
Yes. We connect Odoo to M-Pesa for B2C payouts so growers and members are paid straight from the system, with deductions, advances and the resulting ledger entries handled automatically.
02 Does it give export buyers traceability?
Yes. Lot and batch tracking follows produce from the farm plot through grading, processing and dispatch, so you can answer where a consignment came from and produce the documentation an export buyer or certifier asks for.
03 Can it handle cooperative member accounting?
Yes. Each member has an account with deliveries, advances, input credit and deductions, and members can see their balance. The cooperative reports at member, season and product level.
04 Does it support quality grading and weighbridge intake?
Yes. Intake can capture grade, moisture and weight, including weighbridge hardware where you have it, and price the delivery against the grade automatically.
05 We already run Odoo but agriculture isn't set up right. Can you fix it?
Often, yes. About a third of our work is taking over Odoo databases another partner set up. We health-check the data model and processes, then either fix what is there or lay out what a clean rebuild costs against continued patching.
