How to run your poultry business with TheCEOApp

TheCEOApp team ·

A poultry farm's numbers change daily: birds die, eggs are collected, feed is used. Without a count, the farm doesn't know if a batch made money.

TheCEOApp tracks each batch and every sale.

Batches and losses

Record each batch of birds with its count, and deaths as they happen, so stock stays right.

Eggs and birds

Sell eggs by the crate or tray and birds live, as old layers or dressed by the kilo.

Buyers on credit

Part payments stay on the buyer's name, with a WhatsApp reminder.

Record every sale in seconds

Add what you sell once, for example crate of eggs, broiler (live) and old layers, and services like farm consultancy, vaccination and delivery. Suggestions for a poultry come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.

Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the buyer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.

Keep stock the way you count it

Count stock by crate, tray, bird, bag and kg. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the buyer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch.

Tools poultry businesses use most

  • Batches and losses: Each batch (birds, fish, a harvest) with its count; deaths or spoilage recorded so stock stays right.

  • Expiry alerts: Add expiry dates to your products; you're warned 30 days before.
