How it works on the floor

Cattle: the full Zimbabwe age × fat × conformation grade matrix with an on-screen predicted grade. Sheep, goat, pig and poultry: grade capture against the grade codes your abattoir configures.

Cattle grading follows the Zimbabwe classification table published in Tawonezvi (2022), which cites Statutory Instrument 182 of 2000.

Each site runs its own server on site. When the internet drops, the site keeps working and syncs when the link returns. On the Android field app, weighing, treatments, births and deaths, stock counts, goods-in, grading, fuel and maintenance logs, and clock-in all capture offline.

Pull weights straight from a Bluetooth or serial scale, with manual entry always available as a fallback. Your scale models are confirmed during installation.

Temperature logs, HACCP checklists, complaint tracking and mock-recall drills.

What each of these actually does

Each is described in the words the code supports. Where something is an export file rather than a live connection, the card says so.

Pastel / Sage

Sage Pastel Partner connector included — GL journal export and live ODBC push/pull for customers, suppliers and GL accounts.

ZIMRA FDMS

ZIMRA FDMS fiscalisation built to Fiscal Device Gateway API v7.2, including local receipt signing (§13) and the offline queue. Device registration is part of installation.

Belina

Payroll export file for Belina (draft format — confirmed against your install during onboarding).

Meat Matrix

Meat Matrix reconciliation report — reads your existing Meat Matrix data and shows the differences. Nothing is written or overwritten in either system.
