Questions farmers ask about DoroSync
Short, direct answers. If yours is not here, write to us in Amharic, Afaan Oromoo or English.
Getting started
- What is DoroSync?
- DoroSync is a web app for layer (egg) and broiler poultry farms. It records eggs, weights, feed, deaths, vaccinations, sales, expenses and money, and turns them into production, cost per egg and profit — on a phone, in Amharic, Afaan Oromoo or English. It is made by Kennaa Tech in Ethiopia.
- Do I need a computer?
- No. A phone is enough for everything. A computer is handy for reports and setup, but not required.
- Is there an app to download?
- You open dorosync.com in the phone's browser and add it to the home screen; it then opens like an app, full screen. On Android the browser offers to install it; on iPhone use Share → Add to Home Screen.
- How long does it take to set up?
- About two minutes to create the farm, then a few minutes to add houses and flocks. You can record the next morning.
Cost and data
- How much does it cost?
- A free trial with everything on. Then Basic 900 birr a month, Pro 2,900 and Enterprise from 7,500, by the size of the farm, before VAT.
- Is my data safe and private?
- Each farm is completely separate; nobody else can see your records. Connections are encrypted, the database is backed up every day, and every change is in an activity log.
- Can I get my data out?
- Yes. On plans with report downloads every report exports to CSV, and once you have paid for a plan an owner can ask us for a complete copy of the farm's records. If you leave, we delete your data on request.
Working on the farm
- What if there is no network in the house?
- Record anyway. The day, sales, payments, expenses, stock and treatments are saved on the phone and sent by themselves when the connection returns.
- My workers do not read English.
- Each person chooses Amharic, Afaan Oromoo or English, and the Ethiopian or Gregorian calendar.
- Can a worker record without seeing money?
- Yes. A worker records the day and sees production, but not sales, costs or balances. A manager can be kept to one farm.
- Can I manage several farms?
- Yes. Each farm has its houses, flocks, stock and staff; you look at one farm or all of them together.
Birds, feed and health
- Does it track vaccinations?
- Yes. You set the program by age; DoroSync lists what is overdue and due this week for each flock, and records what was given and what it cost.
- Does it calculate feed cost per egg?
- Yes. It values feed eaten at the price it was bought at and shows feed per bird per day, feed per dozen eggs and the full cost of one egg.
- Does it warn me when something goes wrong?
- Yes: a jump in deaths, birds eating or drinking less, laying falling, feed running out, vaccinations due, eggs unsold, payments due. On the bell in the app, on your phone, and if you want on Telegram, SMS or email.
