What's new: Money

Poultry Curve updates marked "Money", 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.

Better

  • 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.

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.

New phone design, Urdu and one farm picker

A new phone design with a side menu and a big add button, the whole app in Urdu and Roman Urdu, one farm and flock picker and a simple supervisor app.

New

  • The whole app in Urdu and Roman Urdu as well as English. Your language is saved to your account, and you change it from the side menu.
  • New phone design: one top bar, a side menu, a big + button to add, and totals at the top of each list.
  • One Farm and Flock picker. Every list, sale, cost and the Home page follow the farm or flock you pick.
  • Home shows where the money went, who owes you, month by month totals and the latest activity.
  • Supervisor app: a calm, simple app for the person at the shed, who sees only the farms they are allowed to see.
  • Chick arrivals, reminders, a support page and plan requests.
  • Staff can be farm staff or office staff, and a partner can be for one farm or the whole business.

Better

  • Sign-up asks only for your name, phone, password and business name, with an easy country code search.
  • PDFs and WhatsApp shares open your phone's own share menu.
  • App updates arrive by themselves, and Refresh is safe without internet: what you saved stays.
  • Long lists come page by page, wide tables turn into cards on phones, and large amounts are written "Cr" for crore.

Fixed

  • The Back button takes you to where you were, and Home numbers match the farm you picked.

New name, egg report and a record of changes

The app becomes Poultry Curve, sign-up checks your phone by SMS, layer farms get an egg report, every change is recorded and more screens work offline.

New

  • The app is now called Poultry Curve.
  • Sign-up and "forgot password" check your phone number with an SMS code. You can also sign out on every phone at once.
  • Egg report for layer farms: eggs by grade, hen-day percentage, eggs per hen and feed per dozen eggs, week by week.
  • A record of every change: who changed what and when, with the old and the new value. Owners can filter it and download it.
  • Screens you have not opened yet still work without internet, because the app keeps them ready in the background.

Better

  • Feed left and birds ready to sell are at the top of Home, money words are plainer, and a vaccine is marked done with one tap.
  • On phones, sales and costs show as cards, so the amount and what is still due are always in view.
  • Bigger buttons and cleaner screens on phones and tablets.
  • If you sign out while some entries are not sent yet, the app warns you first.

Fixed

  • In the daily log, today no longer counts as a missed day before the day is over.
  • Party khata: the opening balance comes first, and a payment without an account goes to cash in hand.
  • A return now gives the money back on the khata, and paying more than is owed is stopped.
  • Weekly FCR is the same on the screen and in the PDF.
