Functional coverage
What a complete dairy ERP has to cover
Every module runs on the same data — a litre recorded at a village society and the payment made against it are one record, not two systems reconciled by hand.
| Module | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Milk procurement | Farmer and supplier masters, village society and BMC collection, quality-linked rates, advances and deductions, solids matching from source to plant |
| Bulk milk cooler (BMC) | Own and agent BMC models, farmer collection at the cooler, temperature compliance logs, stock and dispatch to plant |
| Chilling centre | Tank and compressor records, temperature logging, per-litre chilling charges, dispatch reconciliation |
| Plant intake & quality | Tanker and can intake, FAT/SNF variance against dispatch, batch-wise quality records for traceability |
| Production & processing | Production batches and yields, plant floor tank and silo balances, packaging, daily milk solids balance |
| Inventory & stores | Raw material, packaging and finished goods stock, consumption analysis, reorder levels, wastage |
| Sales & distribution | Distributor and retail orders, route-wise sales, crate accounting, returns, outstanding and collections |
| Vehicles & routes | Routes, vehicles, drivers, GPS-tracked trips, per-trip reconciliation, transport cost per litre |
| Finance & accounting | Farmer and supplier payments, bank and UPI payouts, ledgers, GST-ready reporting, daily plant P&L |

Comparison
Hamari Dairy vs. traditional dairy ERP
Conventional dairy ERP is sold as a plant-scale implementation project. Hamari Dairy is the same functional coverage, delivered as software you can start using this week.
| Factor | Traditional dairy ERP | Hamari Dairy |
|---|---|---|
| Published pricing | Quoted per project; no public price list | ₹139/month, ₹649/6 months, ₹1,249/year — published |
| Setup and per-farmer fees | Implementation fee plus annual maintenance, often per user | No setup fee, no per-farmer charge |
| Time to go live | Months — server provisioning, migration, site-by-site rollout | Same day for one collection centre; 2–4 weeks multi-plant |
| Operating without internet | Usually requires connectivity to the central server | Collection, testing, billing and printing run fully offline; auto-sync |
| Language support | Typically English, sometimes Hindi | 10 Indian languages, set per user on one installation |
| Smallest workable scale | Built for plants; overkill below a few hundred farmers | A single village society upward, on the same platform |
| Existing analyzer hardware | Often tied to the vendor's own hardware | Reads existing analyzers and AMCU units over RS232/USB |
| Where it runs | On-premise server, desktop clients | Cloud, plus Windows desktop, Android, iOS and browser |

Integrations
Works with your existing hardware
Hamari Dairy is software, not a hardware lock-in. It reads the analyzers, collection units, scales and printers already installed at your centres.
Milk analyzers
Ultrasonic and FTIR/NIR analyzers that output FAT, SNF, CLR, protein, lactose and added water over a serial port — including Everest, Ksheera, Lactoscan, Lactostar, Milkotester and Ekomilk units. Readings post straight into the collection entry; no manual typing.
AMCU / DPMCU units
Automatic milk collection units at village societies, whether the unit drives the analyzer and scale itself or the PC does. Collection, quality and weight arrive as one record per farmer.
Weighing scales
Electronic platform and can scales with RS232 or USB output. Weight is captured at the moment of collection rather than keyed in afterwards.
Thermal & slip printers
POS-58 and compatible 58 mm thermal printers over USB or Bluetooth for farmer slips, plus standard A4 printers for bills and reports. Slips print in the farmer's language.
Connection types
RS232 serial, RS232-to-USB converters, direct USB and Bluetooth. Runs on Windows PC, Android tablets and the browser — same data, multiple access points for your team. If your analyzer emits a serial reading, its format can be mapped, so you do not replace working equipment to change software.
Weighbridges (plant intake)
Tanker weighbridge readings captured at plant intake and reconciled against the dispatch record from the source BMC or chilling centre.
Drivers for POS-58 thermal printers, RS232-to-USB converters and UFT devices are on the downloads page. Not sure whether your analyzer is supported? Send us the model and we will confirm.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is dairy ERP software?
Dairy ERP software runs the whole milk business in one system instead of separate tools: village and BMC-level procurement with FAT/SNF/CLR testing, chilling and transport, plant intake and quality variance, production and inventory, sales and distribution, farmer and supplier payments, and financial reporting. The point of an ERP, as opposed to a milk collection app, is that a litre recorded at a village society and the payment made against it are the same record.
How is dairy ERP different from milk collection software?
Milk collection software records quantity and quality at one point and prints a slip. Dairy ERP carries that record forward — through chilling centre transfers, plant intake reconciliation, quality-based pricing, payment cycles and accounts. If you operate a single collection centre, collection software is usually enough. If milk moves between locations, or you need to know where solids are being lost between village and plant, you need an ERP.
How much does dairy ERP software cost in India?
Most Indian dairy ERP vendors quote per project and do not publish prices, so costs commonly run into lakhs plus annual maintenance. Hamari Dairy publishes its pricing: plans start at ₹139 per month, with ₹649 for six months and ₹1,249 for a year, no setup fee and no per-farmer charge. Larger multi-plant deployments are quoted separately.
How long does dairy ERP implementation take?
Traditional dairy ERP rollouts are measured in months because they require on-premise servers, data migration and site-by-site training. Hamari Dairy is cloud-based with desktop and Android apps, so a single collection centre can be live the same day, and a multi-plant organisation typically goes live in two to four weeks including rate chart configuration and staff training.
Does dairy ERP software work without internet?
Hamari Dairy's desktop and mobile apps record collection, testing and billing entirely offline and sync automatically when a connection returns. This matters in Indian dairy because village collection centres frequently lose connectivity during the morning shift, and a system that stops working without internet stops the shift.
Can dairy ERP integrate with our existing milk analyzers?
Yes. Hamari Dairy reads FAT, SNF and CLR values directly from milk analyzers and AMCU units over RS232 and USB, so you do not have to replace working hardware. Weighing scales and POS-58 thermal printers are supported the same way. Drivers for common devices are available on our downloads page.
