Introducing PoultryDesk

Running a poultry business means keeping track of mortality, feed, eggs, treatments and sales every day. When those records live in separate books, messages and spreadsheets, reviewing a flock means putting the figures together again. PoultryDesk brings the work and its records into one place.

What PoultryDesk is

PoultryDesk is one operating view for a mixed poultry operation: broilers, layers, and hatchery, plus the inventory, health, tasks, finance, and billing that hold it together. It is built around three ideas.

• Record daily work once. Enter feed, deaths, eggs and treatments against the right flock and house, then review those records together.
• Review what each flock costs and earns. Bring recorded sales and expenses together rather than rebuilding the totals in a separate spreadsheet. The result depends on the records you enter.
• See what needs attention. Tasks, stock and treatment withdrawal periods help managers organise the work and check before a sale.

Corrections preserve the original history, and each business controls access to its own records. If the connection drops, daily entries can wait on the device and send later; the recording guide explains how to check queued entries.

What the pilot covers

The pilot puts the full daily loop in real hands: place a lot, run the round on a phone, record the money, and watch mortality, feed conversion, egg rate, cost, and margin build up on the dashboard and in the reports. Finance runs every sale and expense through one allocation engine, so shared costs land fairly on each lot.

Where to start

If you are setting up a farm, the getting-started guide takes you from a fresh sign-in to real data in about 30 minutes. If you just want to find your way around, the navigation cheat-sheet maps every screen to a task.

We will use this blog to share what we learn during the pilot, and how the product grows from it.
