Complete APMC Auction Management
Lot Arrival to Farmer Patti in 60 Seconds
MandiGrow handles the full APMC auction lifecycle — truck arrival, weighment, open-cry or direct sale, commission calculation, and patti generation. All in one seamless digital flow. No paper registers.
All APMC Auction Modes Supported
Open Cry Auction
Auctioneer calls bids aloud. Multiple buyers compete. Highest bid wins the lot. MandiGrow records the final bid price and allocates to winning buyer instantly.
Direct Sale (Negotiated)
Arthiya negotiates price with buyer directly. No open auction. Common for grain, onion, and bulk commodity lots. MandiGrow supports both modes from the same screen.
Multi-Buyer Split
One lot sold to multiple buyers at different prices or quantities. MandiGrow tracks each buyer's share separately and generates individual buyer invoices (Parchas) per split.
MSP Floor Price Alert
During government procurement season, MandiGrow alerts when a bid falls below MSP (Minimum Support Price). Arthiyas are protected from inadvertent below-MSP transactions.

Lot Arrival to Patti in One Flow
Truck arrives → gate pass → weighment → lot created → auction → price fixed → buyer allocated → patti printed. One seamless digital flow with zero paper registers.
Commission Auto-Calculation
Arhat commission is automatically calculated on the auction price. APMC market fee, cess, and other levies are deducted simultaneously. The farmer patti shows the complete breakdown.
Auctioneer Tablet Mode
The auctioneer can use a tablet to see all pending lots, enter the winning bid price, and allocate to the buyer — all while walking the auction floor. Patti prints simultaneously at the billing counter.
Bidder / Buyer Management
Maintain a registered bidder list with APMC license numbers. Only registered buyers can bid. Alerts when a buyer has unpaid dues above the configurable credit limit.
Lot Quality Grading
Before auction, the lot is graded (Grade A/B/C, moisture %, visual inspection notes). Quality grade is printed on the farmer patti and buyer invoice for dispute resolution.
Daily Auction Summary
End-of-day auction report: total lots, total value, commodity-wise average price, highest/lowest bid, commission earned. Essential for arthiya income tracking and APMC filing.
FAQs — Auction Management Software
What is auction management software for APMC mandis?
Auction management software for APMC mandis digitizes the entire lot-to-patti lifecycle. MandiGrow handles: truck arrival and gate pass, weighbridge weight capture, lot creation, open-cry or direct-sale price fixing, buyer allocation, arhat commission calculation, APMC levy deduction, farmer patti generation, and buyer invoice printing — all without paper registers.
Does MandiGrow support open-cry auction for fruit and vegetable mandis?
Yes. MandiGrow supports open-cry auction where multiple buyers compete for each lot. The auctioneer enters the winning bid price on a tablet or PC. MandiGrow instantly allocates the lot to the winning buyer, calculates commission, and sends the patti to the thermal printer at the billing counter — in under 30 seconds per lot.
Can MandiGrow split one lot among multiple buyers?
Yes. Multi-buyer lot split is fully supported. A large lot can be sold to 2-5 buyers at different quantities or prices. MandiGrow generates individual buyer invoices (Parchas) for each split, with the correct quantities and amounts. The farmer patti reflects the blended average price.
How does commission auto-calculation work in the auction?
When the auction price is entered, MandiGrow automatically applies your pre-configured arhat commission rate (e.g., 2.5%) and APMC levy rates (market fee, cess). The farmer patti shows: Gross Sale Value, (-) Arhat Commission, (-) Market Fee, (-) Cess, (-) Other Deductions, = Net Payable to Farmer. All automated — no manual calculation needed.
Does MandiGrow alert when bid price falls below MSP?
Yes. You can configure MSP (Minimum Support Price) for each notified commodity in MandiGrow. When the auctioneer enters a bid price below MSP, MandiGrow shows a warning before the transaction is confirmed. This protects both the farmer and the arthiya from below-MSP transactions during government procurement periods.
Can I see daily auction performance reports in MandiGrow?
Yes. MandiGrow generates a complete daily auction summary: number of lots auctioned, total sale value, commodity-wise average price, highest and lowest bids, total arhat commission earned, and APMC levy collected. Weekly and monthly aggregates are also available for arthiya income statement preparation.
