The Digitalisation Gap in Commercial Poultry
India is the world's second-largest egg producer — yet most commercial poultry operations still run on registers, memory, and the supervisor who has been there fifteen years. The cost of that gap is larger than operators usually believe: typically 5 to 7 percent of revenue, lost across feed efficiency, working capital, reconciliation overhead, locked-out premium markets, and strategic discount at sale or capital raise. This paper is a field perspective from fifteen years of implementing operational software inside commercial poultry across thirteen countries. It maps the five stages we recognise, the four traits that predict whether an operation will close the gap, and the 30-90-365 day path the operations pulling ahead have actually taken. Where a generic ERP is the right answer, the paper says so. Where a vertical platform like PoultryCare fits better, the paper says that too — and explains the structural reason.
