Managers or coffee collectors register batches linked to a mill (washing or drying station) where they are processed. Multiple users may be associated with a single mill.

Define how coffee will be processed. You can describe the process and control expected yield factors between states when coffee is weighed.

Capture supplier details; be they pickers, fields, farms or communities. This includes optional contact and location information.

Record deliveries of coffee from one or more suppliers, usually in an unprocessed state, such as cherry. These are later updated with the dried volumes, and include details such as variety.

Divide received cherry into separate batches based on quality. When dry weights are recorded you gain an overview of the proportion of ripes, underripes and overripes associated with each cherry delivery.

Determine yield factors between states of coffee. You can control the expected yield factors depending on the processing method, and override these for individual batches. Compare expected with actual factors after processing is complete.

Estimate the amount of parchment and green coffee from each batch as soon as you start receiving cherry. You can use these estimates to begin assembling your lots even before drying is finished.

After coffee is dried you may update the actual weights that resulted from a particular batch. This is used to calculate efficiency and guard against theft by comparing it to the yield estimation.

Group batches to create larger volumes that will be converted into a lot. Batch groups can be used to represent how the dried coffee is stored in the warehouse, and gives you an overview of your total volume by coffee type.

Once coffee is finished with processing and stored in a warehouse, you can convert it into a lot. Lots inherit all the information from the batch group. Lots can be sampled, marketed, milled and sold.
