Transparent supply chains
Transparent supply chains, built with the farmers who grow them.
Zamba engages farmers as active partners and gives coordinators the tools to run education, scheduling and participation — so every harvest moves through a supply chain that is secure, traceable and fair.
Designed with the field
- Farmer cooperatives
- Agribusinesses
- Certification bodies
- Development programmes
01 Coordinator portal
One quiet command center for the people who keep the season moving.
From enrolment to final delivery, coordinators see every farmer, session and shipment in a single workspace. No notebooks to reconcile, no waiting for the head office to confirm what already happened in the field.
-
Education
Plan training sessions, track attendance and share guidance in the language farmers actually use — with a record of who learned what, and when.
-
Scheduling
Set collection days, visiting routes and reminders so field teams and farmers arrive at the same place, at the same time, prepared.
-
Participation
Every farmer gets a visible record of their deliveries, payments and progress. Partnership instead of paperwork.
02 Mobile app
Built for the field, not for the office.
The Zamba app keeps working where the signal doesn't. Coordinators record visits, weigh-ins and attendance offline; everything syncs the moment they are back in range — and nothing is lost in between.
- Works offline, syncs automatically when connection returns
- Simple, icon-led screens for low-literacy and shared devices
- Photo and GPS evidence attached to every delivery
03 Proof
Traceable by default. Secure by design.
Transparency only works when everyone trusts the record. Zamba keeps a clean, verifiable trail from farm to buyer — and keeps control of that record where it belongs.
-
Farm-to-buyer traceability
Every delivery carries its origin, date, weight and coordinator — verifiable long after the season closes.
-
Role-based access
Buyers see aggregate volumes. Coordinators see their own farmers. Farmers see their own record. Nobody sees more than they should.
-
Data ownership stays local
Cooperatives own their data and can export it at any time, in full.
-
Audit-ready records
Clean, timestamped logs for organic, fair trade and deforestation-free requirements — without a week of preparation.
04 Getting started
Start where you are, and grow from there.
You don't need perfect records, constant connectivity or a large IT team to begin. Zamba meets your cooperatives at the level they are working at today.
-
Adoption at your pace
Start with one cooperative and one crop cycle, then extend when it proves itself.
-
Training and support included
Onboarding for coordinators, materials for farmers, and a team that answers in your time zone.
-
Your data stays yours
Clear terms, exportable records and no lock-in — today or in five seasons' time.
Field notes
What coordinators ask us first
How long before a cooperative is actually running on Zamba?
Most teams complete their first real collection cycle within two weeks, including coordinator training and farmer enrolment.
What happens where there is no network?
Everything is captured offline and syncs by itself the next time a phone finds a connection. Nothing is re-typed.
Who can see our cooperative's data?
You decide. Access is granted by role, and you can review or revoke it at any time.
