Greetings all, I'm trying to scope a solution for coffee cooperatives here in Rwanda that will enhance transparency into the sale of coffee at small community-level collection points, and would appreciate any thoughts / ideas / device recommendations. Basic requirements would include:
- A digital scale capable of weighing up to 30kg - Ability to capture transaction information including: ID#, price per kilo, KG delivered, coffee grade, collector ID#, payment type (cash/bank) - Ability to generate a paper receipt - Ability to transmit transaction information in real-time if mobile data network available or store-and-forward batches if data network unavailable - Ability to generate daily/weekly/monthly reconciliation or summary reports - Ideally the scale, transaction device, and printer would be integrated, but not necessary - Device(s) should have low power requirements, and be able to function for a full day between charges or be powerable via standard batteries. - Device(s) should be rugged enough for use in rural settings Thanks in advance for any insight, Cory Cory Bush RW Mobile: +250-788-309287 RW Office: +250-252-580414 Skype: corycbush -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
