Digitises produce collection, farmer payments and credit for agricultural cooperatives, giving farmers, co-ops and lenders records they can trust.
Cooperatives recorded deliveries on paper and paid farmers in cash. The records were slow to reconcile and easy to dispute, and gave lenders nothing reliable to go on, so farmers with steady deliveries still struggled to get credit.
GroBox registers farmers, records each delivery with its weight and quality grade, and pays farmers through mobile money. Administrators run the cooperative from a web dashboard with live reports, and farmers use their own app to see their collections and apply for credit.
Wake joined the GroBox team in 2022 and delivered the platform in six months. Collection centres often have poor signal, so the field app works offline and syncs when the connection returns, and agents verify farmers instantly by phone number.
