There is no dearth of generic ERP solution providers in the market. But some specific sectors like tea plantation, coffee plantation, and other agri-businesses cannot be dealt with a 'one size fits all' approach. Likemind Technologies wasn't too late to realize the challenges of these industries and started providing tailor-made solutions to help them replace manual spreadsheet based systems with technology solutions, mechanize their operations and drive efficiency from places that are in functional silos.
Founded in 2012 by a group of experienced IT professionals, Likemind Technologies centered itself in Ooty to stay in the nature's lap and provide cutting edge software and services to the far corners of the world. The three year old company has witnessed a significant growth and now serves clients in India, UK, USA and the remote nation of Mongolia. The young organization boasts of its state-of-the-art ERP Solution for tea plantation industry- Tea Estate Management System (TeaMS) and Auction Management system (AMS) that are getting tremendous response from the market. It also has the knack to quickly turn around with open source solutions like CRM, Content Management, School and Hotel Management.
TeaMS is capable of handling all the activities of tea plantation such as production, maintenance of tea estates, inventory, and accounting of sales, purchase and payroll of various division staff. It also reports analysis based upon the yield, production and MIS (management information system) for decision making by the top management. "TeaMS covers the entire gamut of tea garden activity right from plucking of tea to dispatch from the factory. Data entries can be made from anywhere without location constraints and the business can achieve complete visibility of operations from the lowest end to the top level administration supported by a secure and user friendly interface," says Santhosh Kumar, Co-founder, Likemind Technologies. The web based solution has now been successfully adopted by well known companies like TanTea, The United Nilgiri Tea Estates Company, Chamraj Group, Korakundah Factory, Allada Factory amongst many others.
On the other hand, the AMS offered by Likemind makes tracking the entire auction process a really simplified affair. It is an innovative market in which buyers enter competitive bids and sellers enter competitive offers at the same time. Matching bids and offers are then paired together and the orders are executed.
Enlightening the future blueprint of the company, Shiju Haridass, another Co-founder of Likemind Technologies says, "The tea plantation has been untouched by the benefits of computerization for a long time and we are determined to change the scenario taking our solution to extended geographies in India as well as other countries. The AMS too will remain on our top priorities."
