Surat District Cooperative Milk Producers-OICS

Surat District Co-operative Milk Producers' Union (SUMUL) has
replaced traditional private milk traders and made dairying a popular source of
income among the tribals who comprise a major part of the population of Surat
district. SUMUL has automated the whole process from milk collection to selling
and marketing. As part of the project, SUMUL deployed the Automatic Milk
Collection System (AMCS) in 388 village societies. The AMCS consists of a
Village Society Accounting Software-which is also available in the village's
local language, a Milk tester, weighscale and systems to feed in milk-related
data. SUMUL has implemented a document management system for tracing the
documents. All documents in SUMUL are entered into the system by the dispatch
department.

The inventory modules let SUMUL keep track of their products online. The
Animal Information System module lets them track medicine consumption from the
medicine stores to the village level.

With MIS reports, milk collection data is easily available according to
zones, talukas and societies.
