India's Only Mandi Inventory System That Tracks Time, Not Just Quantity

Generic inventory software asks: "How much do you have?" Mandi inventory asks: "How much do you have, how old is it, and how many crates are missing?" MandiGrow tracks all three — lot-level perishable stock with age alerts, parallel crate ledger, and cold storage lot management — in a single platform used by commission agents across India.

The Perishability Problem That Generic Software Cannot Solve

A tomato lot that arrived 6 hours ago is full-price. The same lot at 48 hours is worth 40% less. A mango lot at 72 hours is a loss. No generic warehouse software accounts for this — MandiGrow does.

🍅

Tomato

0–12 hrs: 100% value → 24–36 hrs: 70% → 48+ hrs: 40% → 72 hrs: wastage

A Kolar tomato commission agent handling 2,000 crates daily loses ₹15,000–₹40,000/month dispatching old stock after new — reversed FIFO.

🥭

Mango (Ripened)

0–24 hrs: premium → 48 hrs: push-price → 72 hrs: juice grade → 96 hrs: loss

Ripened mangoes need to move in 24 hours. MandiGrow's aging alert fires at 18 hours, giving your team time to call buyers before value collapses.

🌿

Leafy Vegetables

0–8 hrs: fresh → 12 hrs: wilted → 24 hrs: waste

Leafy vegetables (palak, methi, coriander) have an 8-hour billing window. MandiGrow shows red alerts for any unsold leafy lot over 6 hours.

MandiGrow Inventory — 4 Modules Working Together

Lot-Level Stock with Age Clock

Every arriving lot is recorded with timestamp, farmer, variety, grade, and weight. MandiGrow runs an age clock against each unsold lot — showing hours since arrival in the live inventory dashboard. Lots approaching spoilage threshold turn amber, then red. Dispatch the oldest first, automatically sorted.

Parallel Crate Ledger

Completely separate from produce inventory. Every plastic crate is tracked by buyer account — deposit charged automatically on sale, credited on return. Daily outstanding crate report by buyer. Weekly recovery call list generated automatically. Average MandiGrow user recovers 90%+ of previously lost crates within the first month.

Cold Storage Lot Management

For apple, potato, onion, and pomegranate — cold storage is integral to the business model. MandiGrow tracks every CA cold store or regular cold store lot: entry date, grade, quantity, storage rate/day, and accumulated rent. Withdrawal bills are auto-generated with storage rent deducted from sale proceeds.

Real-Time Buyer Stock Allocation

When a buyer purchases a lot, MandiGrow instantly reduces stock from inventory. If the same lot is partially dispatched and partially held, MandiGrow tracks both — allocated (sold, pending dispatch) and available (unsold). Live stock position visible to your dispatcher on mobile at all times.
