GrowthTak CBF is a management system for broiler poultry contract farming. In this model, a company (the integrator) supplies day-old chicks, feed, and medicine to independent farmers, who grow the birds on their farms. When the birds are ready, the company lifts and sells them, and pays each farmer a Grower Contract (GC) amount based on how well the flock performed. GrowthTak CBF keeps a complete record of every flock — called a batch — from the day chicks are placed to the day the batch is closed and the farmer is paid.

​
The batch lifecycle

Almost everything in GrowthTak CBF revolves around the batch. A typical batch moves through these stages:
1

Set up masters (once)

The admin configures products, a standard growth profile, a feed/vaccination program, and a GC scheme. This is done once and reused for every batch.
2

Place the chicks

A batch is created for a farmer and a Bird Purchase transaction records the chicks placed and their first-day weight.
3

Grow the flock

Every day, feed and medicine are supplied as needed, and the supervisor records a Day Entry with feed consumed, mortality, and body weight.
4

Lift & sell the birds

Near the end, birds are weighed and lifted through a Lifting Intent, which becomes a Bird Sale.
5

Calculate GC & close

GrowthTak CBF calculates the Grower Contract payment, the farmer is paid (less any loan), and the batch is closed.

​
How a company’s data is kept separate

GrowthTak CBF is multi-tenant — each company’s data (farmers, batches, transactions, products, and settings) is completely isolated from every other company. When you log in, you only ever see your own company’s information. A company can customise its own transaction labels, menu, GC schemes, and settings without affecting anyone else.
