In Turkey’s wholesale fruit and vegetable markets, commission agents (hal komisyoncusu) sell growers’ produce on consignment, and each lot must be declared in the government’s market registry (HKS). The day starts early, and within a few hours hundreds of crates change hands. Every lot needs its traceability record, the grower needs a settlement receipt, commission, market fees and freight must be deducted, and each buyer’s credit balance followed. Kept in a paper ledger, a wrong filing means a fine and a lost crate means a loss.
In the system we build, incoming goods are received with grower, product and crate count, and the registry declaration and traceability record are created together. Sales slips are issued from the tablet at the stall, commission and market fees are calculated automatically, and at day end the grower receives a sales statement by SMS and the settlement receipt is ready.
Problems we see among market commission agents
- Errors and delays in registry traceability filings
- Crate and container deposits that cannot be tracked
- Buyers’ credit balances ballooning
- Sales statements reaching growers late

Integrations
Off-the-shelf software or custom-built?
When off-the-shelf is enough
For small offices working with few growers, the ready-made market programs on the market cover the basic needs.
When custom software pays off
For high-volume agents with several stalls, trading and export links, a system built around your own deduction rules and workflow noticeably reduces errors and leakage.
How the budget is built
We launch the workflow that saves you the most time first, then add modules based on real usage. The full scope below is calculated with 18 screens and 8 modules; the final price follows a free discovery call and a written scope.
Maintenance and improvements (optional): €400 / month. Hosting, SMS, WhatsApp and app store fees are listed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Are registry filings made directly from the system?
Yes. Traceability creation and sales filings are sent from the program through the registry’s web services.
What happens if the connection at the stall is slow?
Sales slips are taken locally and queued, and filings are sent in order once the connection returns.
Can accounts from our old program be migrated?
Grower and buyer lists and opening balances are imported from an Excel or database export.
Can growers see their accounts?
Yes. The sales statement goes by SMS, and if you wish the grower can follow their own account on a simple screen.
