Grain milling & animal feed
Covadesk weighs every truck in and out, grades every load against your tolerance bands — aflatoxin first — prices it by grade, stores it in silos, mills it in batches with extraction rate and fortification recorded, and settles outgrowers net of their advances.
Built for: Maize and wheat flour millers, animal-feed manufacturers, rice and sorghum mills, and grain aggregators buying from outgrowers.
The problems we solve
Moisture, foreign matter and aflatoxin are sampled at intake and judged against tolerance bands. A breach of a reject band is absolute — no discount buys it in.
Gross, tare and net are captured on the ticket, and the accepted net weight is what enters stock.
Every figure on a grower statement traces to a delivery or an advance, and an advance that can’t be recovered stays outstanding rather than pushing the grower negative.
Batches record grain in and flour, bran and germ out, so extraction and yield variance are known per batch and per product.
See it in action
Real Covadesk screens, shown with sample data.
Weigh loaded, weigh empty — the difference is the load.
Loads waiting to be sampled, graded and accepted into a silo.
Actual against planned extraction per batch and per product.
A lorry of wheat sampled and graded: every reading against the mill’s tolerance bands, the moisture shrinkage and quality deduction, and the silo it can go into.
Every day’s intake into the rollers against flour, by-product and wastage out, with extraction and cost per kilo by product.
Features
The gate: weigh loaded, weigh empty, and the difference is the load.
Loads waiting to be sampled, graded and accepted into a silo.
What is in each silo, and whether it is keeping.
Growers who deliver to the mill and are settled for it.
Grain in, flour and by-products out.
How it flows
The truck crosses the weighbridge loaded.
The load is sampled and judged against tolerance bands.
Accepted grain goes to a silo; tare gives the net.
Batches draw grain and record flour, bran and germ out.
Finished goods go to stock, dispatch and invoicing.
Deliveries are netted against advances and paid.
Modules included

Questions
Covadesk runs the weighbridge workflow: tickets open on the first weighing, close on the tare, and the net weight flows into intake grading and stock. A closed ticket is never edited — only voided, with the reason kept.
Each load is sampled for parameters such as moisture, foreign matter and aflatoxin, and the readings are judged against your tolerance bands to accept, discount or reject. Aflatoxin above a reject band is refused outright.
Yes. Advances issued before harvest — cash, seed or fertiliser — are netted against the season’s deliveries at their graded price. A grower is never pushed negative; unrecovered advances stay outstanding.
Yes. Every production batch records grain in and each product out, giving extraction rate and variance against plan per batch, with daily milling, wastage and shift reports.
Book a 30-minute demo. Bring a real problem — a stock variance you can’t explain, a payroll run that takes three days — and we’ll show you how it works in Covadesk.
