Raketa Design CloudFarmer

2019: Start of a marketplace of farmer products

On November 28, 2019 it became known that the Lipetsk developers from the Raketa.Design command started a marketplace for purchase of farmer products with home delivery. Such idea came to participants of a command in a work progress over a task in the final of the tender "Digital Break" – one of flagman drafts of the presidential platform "Russia — the Country of Opportunities".

For November, 2019 the range of a marketplace of CloudFarmer includes about 100 positions and 5 farms. Logistic algorithms of the solution cut delivery time by half and reduce the cost of products for the client. At the same time the buyer can purchase in one basket goods from farmers from different localities. The cost of such orders on the volume and the price are comparable to purchase of products in supermarkets.

For November, 2019 the solution is tested in the Lipetsk region. It will open additional distribution channels for farmers who cannot adjust sale through supermarkets. It will also be useful for farmers who are able to grow up, but hesitate or just are not able to sell, or to farms which make small batches of a product and do not want to increase production to the detriment of quality and reputation.

According to the participant of the Raketa.Design command Dmitry Kravchenko solution designers already checked several tens of hypotheses, communicated to farmers, recruited them in experiments and carried out test sales and delivery with real clients. This experience will be considered at further completion of the project. For November, 2019 the prototype of a system of accounting of purchases, products, farmers and automatic drawing up route sheets is developed. Also legal issues, a control system and assemblies of orders and transportation of products are handled. In plans of the Raketa.Design command to expand functionality of a marketplace and to add function of the order of ready dishes from restaurants. Already there is an arrangement with several restaurants of Lipetsk where preparation of dishes from farmer products according to special recipes of chefs will be tested.

It is important to understand that farmer products are grown up in "lamp" conditions, with special love and care. Our solution assumes that turnip can be on a bed even in the morning, and already be baked at the buyer in an oven in the evening. Also maybe with meat, milk and other products, shared the participant of the Raketa.Design command

More and more attention, however farmer products not the most available type of goods is paid to a question of healthy nutrition. Their cost is often strongly overstated that is caused, including, complexity of delivery. It is sure that the solution of the Raketa.Design command will win popularity both at farmers, and at buyers of the Lipetsk region, commented Oleg Mansurov, the head of the tender "Digital Break"

In November, 2019 participants of a command held a meeting with the head of department of informatization of the Government of the Lipetsk region Stanislav Korniyenko where they told about project parts. To the project in administration showed interest and readiness to help with its development. According to the results of a meeting participants agreed to provide the project at an expanded meeting with profile departments to develop the plan of further promotion and also to discuss connection of farmers and cooperatives to the project.
