West Bengal is one of India's largest paddy-growing and rice-milling states, and its millers work under a procurement system with its own portal, agencies, and rules. Most generic accounting or ERP software isn't built for it. Millingo is — it's a rice-mill ERP made by a West Bengal company (Svasamm Research, based in Konnagar, Hooghly) around the way WB mills actually operate.
How rice procurement works in West Bengal
WB paddy procurement runs through the state's e-Paddy portal, with procurement and milling handled via agencies such as WBECSC (West Bengal Essential Commodities Supply Corporation) and BENFED (the state cooperative marketing federation). Millers operate under the West Bengal Custom Milled Rice (Obligation & Control) framework, delivering rice back to the pool against allotted paddy each Kharif Marketing Season (KMS). If you're new to the mechanics, start with our Custom Milled Rice (CMR) guide.
What West Bengal millers need from software
- WB e-Paddy / CMR workflow — levy memos, camp pickups, gate receipts, CMR delivery, and the out-turn (7.1) reconciliation, mapped to WBECSC/BENFED procedures.
- Local QC and "butta" norms — moisture and quality deductions calculated the way WB purchases actually work, as a value deduction that doesn't touch quantity.
- Bengali-friendly screens — so gate, QC, and production staff aren't fighting English-only software.
- Milling recovery & by-products — tracking real recovery against the CMR out-turn, and booking bran/husk/broken as separate revenue.
- GST & accounting — compliant billing for open-market sales alongside CMR.
Millingo for West Bengal mills
Millingo covers the full mill — paddy procurement gate-to-godown (stock posts only after QC), quality grading with automatic butta deductions, milling batches with yield and by-product tracking, gunny-bag (bardana) accounting, market sales, and the complete government FCI/levy (CMR) cycle. For a WB miller that means one system for both your open-market business and your CMR obligation, instead of a spreadsheet per problem.
