GrowTak 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. GrowTak 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.

​
What you can do with GrowTak

Manage farmers & farms

Keep a directory of farmers, suppliers, and traders, each with contact details and farm location.

Run batches

Create a batch for each flock, assign a supervisor, and track its full lifecycle and live performance.

Track stock & money

Record chick, feed, and medicine purchases and transfers, and see live stock and cost per batch.

Capture daily field data

Log feed consumption, mortality, body weight, and medicines — with optional GPS proof of the farm visit.

Calculate Grower Contracts

Compute each farmer’s GC payment automatically using a configurable scheme, including incentives, penalties, and tax.

Report & analyse

Run more than 20 production, GC, and financial reports, all exportable to PDF and Excel.

​
The batch lifecycle

Almost everything in GrowTak 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

GrowTak 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

GrowTak 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.
