For specialty coffee estates

Every lot traced, from ripe cherry to the cupping table.

Specialty coffee is made in the tank and on the drying bed. FarmOwl keeps the record of how each lot was picked, fermented and dried, so you can see what made the 86-point cup, do it again next season, and show your buyer exactly where their coffee came from.

Specialty coffee

Quality you can explain, and repeat

A great cup is a chain of small decisions: picking only ripe cherry, how long it sat in the tank, how slowly it dried. FarmOwl writes each one down against the lot, then puts the cupping score on the same record.

  • Ripeness at picking

    Picker weights, Brix of the cherry, how ripe the pick was and which block it came from.

  • The process, in full

    Washed, natural, honey, anaerobic, lactic and more, with the culture you started it with.

  • The cup, on the lot

    Your cupping scores and notes, and the score the buyer gave it, next to everything that made it.

Lot traceability

One lot, one story, from tree to bag

Each lot gets a code the day it is picked. Every stage after that adds to the same record, so the tank, the bed and the bag always point back to the same lot.

  1. Picking

    Weights, ripeness and Brix. The lot gets its code the day it is picked.

  2. Fermentation

    Tank, process, culture, pH and temperature by the hour, when it was washed.

  3. Drying

    Bed or patio, moisture and temperature each day, turns, covers, days to 11%.

  4. Milling & cupping

    Outturn, screen sizes, defects, and the cupping score.

  5. Bag & sale

    QR label on the bag, sample to the roaster, invoice to the buyer.

QR labels that tell the lot’s story

Print a label for the tank, the drying bed and the bag, on any printer or a thermal label printer. Your team scans it to open the lot. A roaster or buyer scans it and sees the farm, the variety, the process and the cup, and never your prices or notes.

Fermentation & drying

Measured, not remembered

Readings go on the run or the batch they belong to, from the phone at the tank, or streamed from a probe through the desktop app. Set a target and see how close each lot is.

TANK 34.2pHready to wash!22 °C

In the tank

pH, temperature, TDS and Brix by the hour, against the target pH you set for the run. Note the smell, the culture and when it was washed.

Bed 2 · 11.5%turned at 4 pm, covers on if it rains

On the bed

Moisture and temperature day by day until the lot reaches 11%. Turns, covers and rain go on the batch, so a slow-drying lot has its reasons written down.

Analytics

See what makes the good cup

Once a season is logged, the patterns show. Compare runs, processes and lots without building a spreadsheet.

  • Fermentation curves side by side

    Lay this week’s runs over last season’s best: pH, temperature, TDS and Brix.

  • Cup score by process

    Which process, culture and drying time scored highest, lot by lot.

  • Drying and milling yield

    Days to target moisture and outturn for every lot, so you know where the weight went.

  • Income and expenses by lot

    Wages, inputs, dryer fuel and hulling against what the buyer paid.

Invoices

Sold? Invoice it from the lot

Your logo, GSTIN, bank details and a UPI QR code. CGST + SGST worked out for you, the total in lakh and crore, and the lot code and cup score on every line, so the buyer knows exactly what they got. Mark it paid when the money comes in.

And the money side

What did that lot really make?

Picking wages, fuel for the dryer, hulling charges, transport to the curing works. Charge each cost to the lot it belongs to, snap the bill and keep it with the entry, and FarmOwl puts it next to what the buyer paid.
