Agricultural cooperative software built for an auditable trail

Member registry, graded intake, per-member settlement, and aggregation & export, on one record.

What does cooperative software need to solve in Kenya?

The KUSCCO crisis put a number on the problem: roughly KES 13 billion in cooperative savings tied up amid governance failures and ledgers that could not be independently verified. Members lost trust not because the cooperative model failed, but because the record-keeping did.

MkulimaOS is the Cooperative Operating System: member registry, graded intake, per-member settlement, and aggregation & export, built so every shilling is traceable to the farmer who earned it.

What is the Cooperative Core?

It is four connected pieces, not four separate tools. A member registry establishes who belongs and what they are entitled to. Delivery intake grades what each member brings in at the point of collection. Per-member settlement reconciles advances against final grading. Aggregation & export rolls individual member records into the totals a cooperative reports upward.

  • Member registry & governance
  • Delivery intake with quality grading
  • Advance payment, reconciled at final settlement
  • Per-member settlement with a full audit trail
  • Aggregation & export for reporting

Why does an audit trail matter more than a spreadsheet?

A spreadsheet can be edited without a trace. A settlement record built from graded intake and reconciled advances shows its own math — which member, which delivery, which grade, which deduction, which payout. That is what "auditable" means in practice: not a promise, a record you can walk back through.
