Banaskantha
Software for work spread across Banaskantha
Criza builds mobile apps, record-keeping systems and websites for organisations working across Banaskantha district. The hard part here is often distance: people, stock and paperwork are spread across several towns and villages. We help bring that information into one place, on a fixed scope and price agreed in writing.
Working with businesses in Banaskantha
The district's economy rests largely on agriculture and food processing, along with tourism, textiles and mineral-based industries such as ceramics. Deesa is known for its potato farming, Banas Dairy is based in Palanpur, and pilgrims come to the temple town of Ambaji.
That shape creates a particular software problem. Information starts in the field, at a collection point, a cold store or a farm gate, and has to reach an office somewhere else. Connections are not always reliable, and the people entering data are busy with something else. Software here has to be quick to use and tolerant of a weak signal.
District boundaries also changed recently: Vav-Tharad was carved out as a separate district in January 2025. If your work covers both areas, that makes no difference to us, though you may want your own records and reports to reflect it.
Problems worth solving first
These are common needs we would expect to discuss, not descriptions of past clients.
Records reach the office late
Field entries wait in a notebook until someone drives back, so the office makes decisions on old numbers. A phone-based form gets the entry there the same day.
Stock nobody can see from outside
Cold store and warehouse stock is known only to the person on site. Traders and owners call to ask what is available, and the answer changes by the time they arrive.
Reports rebuilt by hand each month
Payments, quantities and supplier totals get retyped from several sheets into one report. It takes days, and two copies rarely agree.
Where we would usually start
Mobile App Development
A simple phone app for field and collection entries, designed to keep working through a weak signal and send data when the connection returns.
See this service →Custom Software Development
One system for stock, suppliers and payments across your locations, so everyone sees the same numbers.
See this service →AI & Automation
Repeated paperwork, such as monthly supplier summaries, prepared automatically and checked by a person before anything goes out.

Frequently asked questions
Will an app work where the internet is weak?
It can, if that is designed in from the start. We can build it to save entries on the phone and send them once a connection returns. We would agree the exact behaviour in the written scope, and test it with your team on real phones in the places they work.
Our staff are not comfortable with computers. Is this still possible?
Yes, but the design has to respect that. We keep screens short, use large buttons and ask only for what is really needed. You can explain the work to us in Gujarati, and if it suits your team, the app itself can be in Gujarati too.
Do you cover the whole district?
We accept work from anywhere in Banaskantha, and from Vav-Tharad too, because the work happens remotely. If a project needs a site visit, we agree that and its cost in writing first.
We are a cooperative or a trust. Can you work with us?
Yes. Tell us who approves the work and how payments are authorised, and we will set the proposal and milestones up to fit that. We would also keep the data in accounts your organisation owns, not ours.
