output for society. This will also facilitate workers with effective use of resources which leads to
quality based production and it also helps in satisfying the customers with effective services.
Managers of Organisation uses mobile application to organise and manage Agricultural sources
in a correct direction and management produce desired output with the combining efforts of
farmers and resources. Mobile applications also useful in finding the alternative methods of
farming. This ensures the availability of different sources to complete the farming activities. The
application provides various features which helps in minimising the cost factor by designing the
best approach to deliver top-quality product. Enterprise mobile App development enables the
workers to clearly get the working strategies of business (Crawley, Cameron and Selva, 2015).
This also helps in forecasting weather information. The use of application allows Managers to
understand the technical and non-technical requirements of company. This application presented

2. Background
KISSAN Agro-works International Ltd is a leading producer of agricultural equipment’s.
This industry generally manufactures agricultural machinery and equipment’s which helps in
accomplishing the effective tasks of farmers. This company is founded in India with a concept of
reducing the human efforts with increased productivity of labours. Headquarters of KISSAN
Agro-works international Ltd is situated in India and it was established in year 2000 to serve
country with effective tools and techniques to produce the best quality products by replacing
large human efforts with machineries (Dixit and Skeath, 2015). This enterprise is expanded to
several more countries such as Australia, Pakistan, America, Canada, Europe, Russia.
This company is dealing in agricultural based machinery from past 18 years who have
initially started with very fewer employees. Now KISSAN had provided employment to almost
5000 employees. Although this industry is dealing with technology based work so it requires
mobile application to track day-to day activities and update the information. This equipment’s
help in increasing the efficiency and provides better quality services to customers. The company
also possess customer satisfaction and holds strong relationship by gaining loyalty of the
customers in order to provide the latest technology machines and for the purpose of achieving
large agricultural products.
Management of this firm provides timely trainings to their employees to get the
information about using these equipment’s. Invention of machinery performing agro -based work
have also improved the business factors and it had minimised the cost consumption of products.
There are following services which are adopted by KISSAN for the successful development of
the organisation. These services are as follows:
 Updated training to employees about the utilisation of agricultural machines.
 It provided better mode of communication in business which have improved
interpersonal relationship of employees and this this will be resulted in effective team
work.
 This company also provides better customer care facilities which helps in resolving
queries of consumers.
 It has promoted the ease of work in the company as development of equipment’s have
decreased the human power and increased the working efficiency. It also saves times of
labours in completing the task.

3. Proposed Solution
The main purpose of developing Agro-based machinery is to maximise the working
efficiency of farmers. This consists of high-technology software and equipment’s to ensure the
large amount of Top quality products (Dixit and Skeath, 2015). Managers of KISSAN Agro-
works International Ltd are aimed at providing the ultimate solutions to workers. Earlier
employees are engaged in farming activities which consume lot of time and energy of workers.
They do not get enough time to apply innovations in goods and services so this company have
provided the large variety of software to reduce the workers efforts. Development of advanced
technology had improved customer satisfaction and also maximised the agricultural production
of the company.
Some major hurdles in performing daily operations are as follows
 Farmers are tired in performing farming activities on daily basis which restricts them
producing the constant quality based products.
 Lack of communication among employees leads to unorganized work.
 Increased cost of labours implies of high cost of products and this decrease the demand of
goods in market.
 It affects the management of KISSAN Agro-works International Ltd in tracking the
records of individual employees.
 Minimum efficiency of labours can be concluded as a major point of issue to agricultural
companies.
Solutions to these problems are as follows after adopting KISAAN BYOD application
All the above problems are addressed with the development of mobile application which
provide versatile functionalities to agricultural enterprises. The mobile app is used to keep
records of employees. KISSAN Agro-works International Ltd had found an ultimate solution in
the form of mobile application which helps in the smooth operational activities of business. This
application is helpful in establishing the interpersonal relationships between employees (Laudon
and Laudon, 2016) Availability of messenger in application have improved the communication
abilities of workers.
KISAAN BYOD Employee app also contains the basic feature which maintains the
information such as roaster, leave and Payslip policies of company. This helps in tracking the
2

performance and efficiency of workers in this industry (Strategic Information System |
Importance, Use & Types, 2018).
4. Cost Analysis
When company have adopted Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy and addressed
various issues in mobile application then it undergoes the following cost requirement analysis. It
is the comprehensive estimation of cost that is incurred throughout development of the
application. Doing cost analysis show benefit of developing app and its contribution in company
brand value. Also, it shows effect of app on increase or decrease in sales or profits of company.
KISSAN Agro-works International Ltd because this company mainly deals with high technology
machines and equipment’s which are used for improving the agriculture products. The cost
analysis of such application involves installation of Android and IOS software. Initial expanses
for the applications are high due to software development and this will incur higher cost. Then
designing of user interface is required to reduce the complexities in using the KISAN BYOD
employee app. Following cost analysing components are involved such as:

KISSAN Agro-based work international Ltd is aimed at providing high technology
machines and effective equipment’s to agricultural industries. This enterprise has restructured
policies and planning to improve efficiency of farmers in producing quality based product to
customers. This company have implemented the mobile application policies to promote
communication between employees for achievement of effective production. Implication of
KISSAN BYOD app can be helpful in facilitating better employee management and resource
management in the company.
These strategies have provided the better customer care facilities which have improved
the level of interaction among employees. This will be resulted in maintaining strong
interpersonal relationship with customer and aimed at providing the quality products (Macinko
and Harris, 2015). Some components which are aids essence in accomplishing the strategies of
company are as follows:
4

 Introduction of mobile application are helpful in finding the better ways of doing work.
Innovation can be referred as the major source of planning which will ultimately takes the
organisation towards successful growth and developed company.
 BYOD policy have also built powerful communication and interpersonal relationship of
employees.
 Purpose of this project is to deliver the high-tech equipment’s to those who can
effectively and efficiently accomplish desired output to customers.
 This have also decreased the human efforts as machinery helps in completing the task
with same energy and saves time of employees (Thompson, 2017). It empowers the
employees to perform effectively and deal with better quality products in order to satisfy
customers.
6. Value proposition
It can be considered as key roles of business strategies and these key concepts describes
the solutions to such problems. When agricultural organisations are facing multiple challenges to
integrate the efforts of employees and its resources then KISSAN Agro-based work international
limited had provided the concept of high technology tools and equipment’s in order to reduce the
burden of farmers. This enterprise had adopted KISSAN BYOD concept to manage the
information of employees and resources in accomplishing the work effectively (MASWADEH, ,
2016). It tracks the comprehensive records by applying the central mobile application software
which provides different features to control and manage the activities of the agricultural
industries. This company have improved the communicational aspect of organisation.
Mobile application have provided the effective functionality of messenger which would
be helpful in taking reviews of customer and this will be helpful to the business in establishing
the strong relationship with customers. These reviews are further can be taken as a point of
improvement for the enterprise. Development of mobile application for this industry have
established multiple innovations in order to deliver effective products to consumers. This
application will offer unique uses of the products in market which will be beneficial for
agricultural companies to ease the tasks of farmers in order to achieve effective and efficient
productivity (How mobile apps are helping agriculture in achieving sustainable development?,
2018).

7. Project management and controls
Wide range of tools and techniques are applied to control and monitor the performance of
KISSAN Agro-based work international Ltd. Project management and control measures can be
referred the process in which helps in identifying and observing potential problems and their
opportunities in order to support decision making of the company (Oinas-Kukkonen and
Harjumaa, 2018). Controls are considered as the necessary measures or actions which are taken
to for the applying correct strategies in business.
Estimated KPI Actions taken to control risks
Increased demand of agricultural products need
more human efforts to meet requirements of
customers
Proper use of equipment can be helpful in
performing the effective work and use of tools
will also helpful in saving time and energy of
employees in completing the specific tasks.
Updated technology requires need proper
understandability and skills of employees
When new machine is implemented then
management of KISSAN Agro-based work Ltd
provides timely training to employees in order
to achieve the efficient working strategies.
Large human efforts maximise the cost of
production.
Agricultural industry have provided effective
tools and technologies to deal with daily
operational activities of company. This
industry have also adopted the KISSAN
BYOD policy to manage and control the cost
consumption of goods and services.
Management of financial data in company Mobile Application have provided best
features which are used to control roasters,
payslips and performance of employees.
Tracking the records daily records of workers
is a major point of controlling.
Mobile app have provided versatile
functionality device which helps in detecting
the performance of employees (Pearlson,
Saunders and Galletta, 2016). This also
6

provides messenger facility to employees
which helps in strong interaction between
customers and management.
There is a strong requirement to monitor the
production capabilities of company.
KISSAN mobile app have introduced with a
special feature which helps in keeping the
records of products and all the operational
activities are timely monitored here.
8. Infrastructure requirements
It is very important to analyse or determine the requirement for developing an
application. This provides an overview about what infrastructure will be required. Software
developer is responsible for determining infrastructure requirement. He or she discuss it with
project manager. It helps company to develop budget for it. also, overall cost of project is
identified and return on investment is calculated. Here, configuration of system, software and
application, etc. are also mentioned (Koo, Hong and Park, 2016). It is a step by step process in
which resources are described. Then, further needs are take into consideration as well so that app
can be maintained. Also, before initiating a project business should access whether they are
having capability of using web technologies or not. In order to develop an app there are different
software, tools and equipment’s, etc. are required. The KISSAN BYOD concept is based on
integration of business, farmers and customers. it will enable in ease in communication and
increasing efficiency of business. The company can also use cloud computing platform in which
SaaS is applied to provide services to people. It will be also beneficial to company in long term.
Moreover, using SaaS will reduce time as well as cost of App.
Coding languages
An app is developed by using different coding languages. They are used to design the
user interface. This interface display information of user. Here, front and back end developers
are responsible for designing UI and UE of app (Li and et.al., 2015). KISSAN BYOD will be
designed for users of both Android and IOS. For this programming language required will be
different which is described below :-
IOS Android
7

Programming language Python C, C++, java
Integrated development
environment
Delphi XE2 Android studio
Cross platform development Ipad, iphone Windows, Android
Installer options Available only on app store Available on Google play
store
Tool cost No cost required No cost required
The KISSAN BYOD will be initially available for android users and then for IOS it will be
designed. for this
C++ is used as it is relatively requires less coding and experienced experts. but to develop for
IOS, a software engines will be hired. He or she will interact with expert and also ensure that
App is designed properly.
Cloud Services
In present time cloud computing has emerged as a popular platform for business to
develop app and provide services to customers (Henfridsson and Lind, 2014). in this third
parties share tools and resources with organisation to perform all computer related work by using
a virtual IT infrastructure. The cloud computing are private, public or hybrid. Basically, there are
three types of services that is as follows:-
IaaS- It is a service in which parties provide only infrastructure services to be used. In includes
using storage devices, networking tools, etc. for this they charge according to storage or tools
utilised by companies. Examples of vendors are Amazon, Microsoft, etc.
SaaS- this service includes providing of software service through a host or web browser. Here,
only services are delivered by third party. The users have to pay fees for using that application.
For example – dropbox, salesforce, etc.
PaaS- it is most popular cloud computing services used by companies. here, third party allows
business to use infrastructure and tools to develop applications example are Google app engine,
Azure PaaS, etc.
KISSAN can use PaaS platform to develop their app. Through this they will be able to
provide several types of services to customers. also, it will enable company to install main server
8

in remote area so that it is easy to access services. PaaS will enable in integrating services and
customers on common platform.
9. Software design, development methodologies and testing strategies
The next step after determining requirements is to develop strategies about methods
through which software will be designed and testing is done (Huang and Cao, 2017). With the
help of methods challenges and issues are identified and rectified. Moreover, developer can run
coding to identify bugs and errors. Besides this, software development method consists of
guidelines, planning, designing, etc. of app. It is used by developers or manager in completion of
project in systematic way. the method which can be used by company is as follows :-
Waterfall- this process is usually followed in short term project and is easy to understand. The
concept of waterfall is iterative process. By using it business develop project stages and analyse
to get idea of overall budget. Small and medium size organisations use waterfall model. It
supports in implementation of project successfully.
Prototype- it is a process in which a prototype is developed for testing. After this, the overall
project is initiated and executed. Basically, this method is used in technological projects. With
the help of prototype software and applications are build for testing.
For present case, prototype model will be used. This is because it will give idea about the
app and how it will help in providing solution of problems to customers. moreover, through this
testing can be done and faults are identified. Furthermore, following this method will be
beneficial. Then, the developer can work on determining requirements which is needed to build
app. Furthermore, by testing required changes can be done in app. In addition, goals are made
and strategies are developed to implement project.
Through prototype, developer can make app logo, design user interface, etc. also, buttons
and symbols can be inserted in app to provide ease to customers.
10. Internationalization for a global market
The world economy is changing constantly. Globalisation has created a platform for
business to expand their operations in different countries (Tabari and Yazdani, 2016). On the
other hand agriculture sector is highly using technology in implementing various farming
technique. India is a country whose half of population is engaged in agriculture sector. Thus, it is
essential to provide new tools and equipment’s to people to communicate with each other.
Moreover, machinery and tools are manufactured to make farming easier. KISSAN BYOD app
9

will enable company to provide better customers services so that they can be retained. Also, it is
essential that customer queries are solved. Along with this, demand of customers can be
determined and machines are produced accordingly. Through app suggestions can also be
provided to customers. any change which is required in machine can be done. In addition to this,
training can be given to customer about how to use machine an equipment’s. it will save time
and cost of company and enhance in business efficiency. The internationalisation of KISSAN
BYOD app will help in increasing customers satisfaction. App will provide a user to user
configuration so consumer can interact with each other as well.
11. Social media integration strategies
Social media has played a significant role in today’s technological world. It has enabled
business to promote their products and services in effective way. also, through integration of
social media in business activities efficiency has enhanced (Hanseth and Lyytinen, 2016). Now,
it is necessary to promote app on various social media platforms so that customers can be
attracted. Through this, people will be aware about app and its usage. Social media platforms can
also be used to provide real time solutions to customers. focus groups, pages, etc. can be created
that will help in communicating. The features and ease of usability of social media can be useful
in connecting people. This means that the service which is not provided by app can be delivered
with social sites quickly and effectively. With this KISSAN can advertise their products and
services as well. The integration of app with social media can be useful for people. Those who
are not able to download app can visit company page on networking sites and communicate their
issues. Other people or company experts can interact and solve problems. However, it will be
easy to align customers will company products so that they can get information about products
and change in their components.
The integration will give an advantage to Kissan Agro in marketing their products as
well. The company can provide ads of their app on various other websites. They can adopt the
concept of PPC (Shen and Khaligh, 2015). It will make it easy for people to get information
about app. Customers can also share their views with stakeholder. The communication between
internal and external employees of organisation will improve.
12. Risk management
Every project involves a certain amount of risk which can impact it to great extent.
Therefore, it is necessary to identify those risk so that it can be minimised and project is
10

implemented effectively. For this a risk assessment is done in which risk are identified and
categorised according to their frequency. It gives a detailed information about probability of
occurring of risk so that proper measures are taken to reduce it. taking actions in time is
beneficial in overcoming loss of cyber attack. It also supports in overcoming threats and keeping
back up of data up to date. The frequency of risk can be determined by multiplying its likelihood
with severity (Huang and Cao, 2017). It shows risk rating and its degree of occurrence. The risk
assessment for KISSAN company is as follows:-

By taking effective and proper measures risk of loss of confidential data and information
can be prevented. Also, it will help in protecting data of customers as well. Through this,
company will be able to solve queries of customers and retain them. Alongside, customer
satisfaction will enhanced. The risk of cyber attack on application can be handled in systematic
way. thus, user privacy and confidentiality will be maintained (Mårtensson and Westerberg,
2016 ). moreover, improvements can be made in data security. In addition, help of experts can be
taken to minimise high risk. The data and information can be protected and policies can be made
for monitoring app.
13. Integration and deployment strategies
Improvements must be made in application and its interface so that user find it easy to
access and use it. For this software developer and company should make changes in their
projects. There are different types of programming language like java, php, etc. are used for
integration of UI with UE. They act as middleware in app through which user interact and two
way communication takes place. Hence, for integration there are many strategies available
through which deployment can be done. It helps in identifying technical problems. likewise, it is
necessary to update systems so that process can take place more quickly.
For integration Kissan agro can make changes in two way communication channel. here,
algorithms can be made in other programming languages. This will be easy in creating a
framework of client server process (Dixit and Skeath, 2015). Also, it will be useful in reducing
issues and providing services to customers. moreover, the interface will allow ease and
accessibility in services and taking feedback of customers. the employees will be able to manage
and handle app in effective manner.
14. User acceptance and change management
In recent times, the use of machines and advance equipment’s in agriculture is increasing
to a great extent. This has allowed farmers and other vendors to engage in manufacturing
12

machines. But on the other hand many people are facings several issues in using machines. They
are not able to operate and manage them. Also, there complaints are not solved in proper way.
thus, it has enforced them to develop KISSAN BYOD app app through which they can interact
with customers. The user acceptance testing is validated. Here, software is tested in last stage
before launching. The target audience for KISSAN BYOD app will be vendors and farmers who
are using agricultural machines.
In change management flow of data is evaluated to identify whether issues are soled in
proper time or not. Thus, changes are made in development phase of app. Software developer,
project manager, etc. are involved in evaluating time (Hanseth and Lyytinen, 2016). Then,
policies and procedures are developed for world wide deployment.
15. Maintenance
To develop an app is easy but to maintain it is difficult task. This is because many tools
and equipment’s are required to maintain it. Also, it is important to remove bugs from app so that
it can work properly. In this app data and information is also tracked. Generally, there are five
elements through which app is maintained. Kissan agro can use and implement them. These are
as follows :-
Server management=- with the help of this server of app can be maintained. it will ensure that
data back is taken daily and also load of server is reduced. This will be useful in responding to
client request quickly. Moreover, taking regular back up will ensure data security and privacy is
maintained.
Infrastructure and security- it is the basic thing through which app is maintained. here,
improvements are made in back and front end user interface (MASWADEH, 2016). This is done
by using different languages and developing algorithms.
Performance – here, speed and accuracy of app is measured and maintained. thus, in order to
increase efficiency changes are done on site and pages.
Technology integration- in this, infrastructure is checked and updated. Software and
applications are upgraded and installed. It is basically related to API and in house system.
Marketing performance – By measuring marketing performance, bugs and errors can be
identified. For this user behaviour, KPI, etc. are measured. Also, analysis is done of user usage
and data. moreover, test methods are applied on app for monitoring.
13

Therefore, by using the above elements Kissan agro can maintain their app. It will help
them to design a better UI and align it with vendors. Moreover, with effective data tracking
