Greetings all,

I’m trying to scope a solution for coffee cooperatives here in Rwanda that will enhance transparency into the sale of coffee at small community-level collection points, and would appreciate any thoughts / ideas / device recommendations.  Basic requirements would include:

-       A digital scale capable of weighing up to 30kg

-       Ability to capture transaction information including: ID#, price per kilo, KG delivered, coffee grade, collector ID#, payment type (cash/bank)

-       Ability to generate a paper receipt

-       Ability to transmit transaction information in real-time if mobile data network available or store-and-forward batches if data network unavailable

-       Ability to generate daily/weekly/monthly reconciliation or summary reports

-       Ideally the scale, transaction device, and printer would be integrated, but not necessary

-       Device(s) should have low power requirements, and be able to function for a full day between charges or be powerable via standard batteries.

-       Device(s) should be rugged enough for use in rural settings

Thanks in advance for any insight,

Cory
