For Agriculture

Proof your people were there,
not a note in a book.

Extension officers, agri-businesses, cooperatives — farm workers clock in with their face, payroll works out NAPSA, NHIMA and PAYE by itself, and every buyer sits in one pipeline.

A farm worker clocking in: the time, the coordinates and whether they were late

The Problem

Farm labour happens out of sight, out of internet range.

A gang of eighty is counted by hand on a clipboard, and the same three cards clock in for twelve people. Without a record of who actually turned up, when, and where, the wage bill is a guess — and by the time the season is costed it is too late to ask.

Clock in with a face, not a card

A blink, a match, a timestamp — with the coordinates and whether they were late. It works where there is no signal and syncs later.

Inputs and stock, counted

Seed, fertiliser and chemicals in one stock catalogue, with a stock count you can actually perform at season end.

Farm worker payroll

Xeel payroll computes NAPSA, NHIMA and PAYE automatically for every worker, every pay run.

Buyer & supplier relationships

Track buyers, deal stage and contract value in one SalesOps CRM pipeline.

On Google Play

Face clock-in works with no signal and syncs when the phone is back in range — it is part of Xeel, inside the O'Sense app on Google Play. Casual workers on a daily rate are paid for the days their face clocked in, and piece-work from gang sheets — rows, kilograms, hectares — goes to payroll from FieldOps, the field-operations app. Receipts for fuel and inputs post to the books from the same phone. How face attendance drives pay.

Questions

Farm labour, answered.

What software do farms in Zambia use to record which workers turned up?

O'Sense uses Xeel face clock-in on an Android phone or tablet at the farm. Each worker clocks in and out with their face — a blink, a match, a timestamp — with the coordinates and whether they were late. It works with no signal and syncs when the phone is back in range.

How do I pay casual farm workers only for the days they came?

Put them on a Daily rate in Xeel. Each pay run counts the days the worker clocked in with their face and pays those days at the rate, then works out the statutory deductions on what was earned. Nobody types the days in, and a day with no clock-in pays nothing.

Can farm workers be paid by the piece?

Yes. FieldOps gang sheets record each worker's units on a farm task — rows, kilograms, hectares or head — with a day-rate floor, and send them to Xeel as pay on the next run. The same work cannot be sent twice.

Does farm payroll work out NAPSA, NHIMA and PAYE?

Yes. Every pay run works out PAYE, NAPSA and NHIMA per worker, shows them line by line on the payslip, and sends the payslip to the worker as a PDF on WhatsApp.
