UPPCF enlarged its area of operation through setting up processing units and distribution of various agricultural inputs by opening its offices in every district of the province and at every regional headquarter of the state besides branches at important Mandi stations within and outside the state. With this expansion, data collection from all the offices became a bottleneck in the quick data processing. Organization evaluated need for a better system with quicker collection of data from district offices and faster compilation into reports at the district, regional and the head office. |
