What's new: Helper

Poultry Curve updates marked "Helper", newest first.

Helper reads your sheets and WhatsApp group

Helper brings in a whole ledger sheet or your farm's WhatsApp group in one go, advance wallets track money given for farm work and slow phones run faster.

New

  • Munshi is now called Helper. The farm job "munshi" keeps its name, and old links open Helper.
  • Send Helper a ledger sheet (Excel, CSV or a pasted table): it turns every row into an expense, checks it against the sheet's own totals and saves it all with one tap. Undo takes it all back. A flock's costs are split over its sheds by the chicks placed.
  • Send Helper your farm's WhatsApp group chat: it reads the daily reports (deaths, feed, water, weight, medicine, vaccines, chick arrivals, sales), shows you a preview and saves them, with Undo.
  • Advance wallets: give money to a person for farm work, they write what they spent and where, and the app shows what is left. Only the owner, an admin or that person can add to it.
  • Arrange Home: change the order of the cards, hide them or change their size, on each phone.
  • New price: Rs 2,500 per shed a month, 12 months for the price of 10, and a 2-month free trial with 300 Helper credits for new businesses.

Better

  • The app opens faster on slow phones, typing and long lists are smoother, and Home charts load only when you scroll to them.
  • Shorter forms and tighter lists on phones. In the supervisor app every question fits a small phone screen.
  • The supervisor app now has the Team, Helper, full past days and the complete daily log.
  • Messages sent from the website's Contact page reach the Poultry Curve team in one place.

Fixed

  • Helper answers farm and shed questions again, replies to "how are you", makes 2 sheds in every farm when you ask, and never shows a count as money.
  • Removed the notice above the Helper chat, reading answers aloud (voice messages stay) and the "Showing: All farms" strip.
  • Health case and low feed alerts name the flock clearly.

Pick your quick buttons and see past flocks

Choose the quick buttons on Home, receive money into a party, see what you owe item by item, graphs in the daily log and past flocks. The app opens faster.

Better

  • The app opens faster: it loads one language instead of three, and a form loads only when you open it.
  • Less clutter: repeated cards are hidden, and a choice with only one option is not shown.
  • Helper answers money questions over both flocks and understands when someone leaves the team.
  • Helper has a welcome sheet with pictures, and every Helper reply ends with two clear buttons.

Start in three screens and talk to Helper

Pick your language, set up the farm in one step and reach Home in three short screens. Talk to Helper by voice in Urdu, Roman Urdu or English.

New

  • A new start: choose your language first, set up the farm in one step and reach Home in three short screens. Add the first flock and the first record from a card on Home.
  • Your first daily log is a short count with pictures: deaths, feed, water and weight, one shed after another.
  • Join links: send a link and your staff join your team.
  • Talk to Helper: speak in Urdu, Roman Urdu or English. Your words wait in the box so you can check them before you send.
  • Report a wrong Helper answer with one button.
  • Privacy, terms and delete account pages on the website, ready for Google Play.

Better

  • Helper asks clear, numbered questions, needs a clear yes before it saves, and replies in your language.
  • Helper shows one card at a time. When you correct something it starts that entry again, and days already saved stay saved.
  • The Poultry Curve team sees the activity of each customer, so support can help you faster.

Fixed

  • Helper fixes after tests on real farm questions.

Staff payroll and Helper writes your entries

Pay daily-wage and permanent staff, let Helper write entries for you after you say yes, start a new flock in all sheds at once and delete your account.

New

  • Payroll for daily-wage and permanent staff, with clear money words and the same amounts on every screen.
  • Helper can do the work for you: say it in your own words, Helper fills in the entry and saves it only after you say yes.
  • Start a new flock in all sheds of a farm at once.
  • One party can pay another party for you, and traders can see their margin.
  • Pair shed devices with your phone over Bluetooth.
  • Delete my account, in the app and on the website, and a privacy policy page.

Better

  • Icons and Urdu text show even with no internet.
  • Helper reads a plain "yes" or "no" correctly, matches Urdu names more carefully and shows phone numbers only when you ask.
  • Helper only looks at the farms you are allowed to see.
  • After too many tries the app says "Try again in N minutes", and the sign-in error is in Urdu too.

Fixed

  • Helper no longer saves anything after a "no", and it says clearly when a step did not work.
