Problem
The agricultural sector often relies on outdated, manual processes for managing distribution, including tasks like collection, sales, and document creation. These methods, such as phone calls, faxes, and handwritten notes, lead to inefficiencies and increased operational costs for both producers and distributors.

These platforms facilitate digital management of collection, sales, and material ordering, replacing traditional manual methods with user-friendly mobile applications. By integrating with existing core systems, kikitori's solutions aim to update and enhance the efficiency of distribution processes, reduce operational costs, and improve communication across the supply chain.
