The technology solutions in Octagon are finally coming of age. With our solutions now running on SQL Server and created to run on any relational database management system, we believe the future of agriculture is finally with the plantation owners and the smallholder practitioners for we shall give them what no other organization has achieved for agriculture

The agricultural and plantation sector has witnessed a number of changes, which have made employers to consider changing from manual to mechanical means of serving their operational needs. Many have opted for mechanical option due to the uncontrolled nature of man and his moods. There has not been an approach to assessing good employees against bad ones. With the EasyWeigh in weighing based plantation, there is finally a measure of how effective a worker is, but even with this, the cost of labour is high and its management being manual cannot eliminate favouritism and nepotism when records are all manual.

Finally a solution to manage labour issues at the plantation level has been developed by our development team targeted to addressing the labour needs in the plantation sector. This solution is designed to work with biometrics-based smart cards so that other internal management issues as they affect the organization can also be addressed. It shall then be easy to address the advance payments, personnel records, health records and all their linkages with external institutions. This solution is the HR Module of the Green Leaf Plantation and Outgrower Solution.
