Development accounts for limited digital familiarity, small-screen phones with restricted capacity and connectivity conditions. The team is reviewing findings to adapt language, icons and navigation, with further version tests planned. Retaining records is intended to reduce repeated entry and create production and marketing data for cooperatives; the report does not announce a finished product or measured time savings.
