AI grower return calculation for produce packers
Growers want to know two things: how their fruit packed out, and what they will be paid. Producepak calculates both from the packing and sales records, and Pak-Bot answers grower questions before they turn into phone calls.
How returns are calculated
Contribution
One batch can contain fruit from several growers. Each grower's return is based on their percentage contribution to the pool.
Pack-out
An instant pack-out summary tells the grower which grades and quantities their product was packed into.
Sales and deductions
After sales, fees such as transport, packing and commission are deducted. Unpacked or unsold stock and shrinkage are flagged.
Statements
Recipient-created tax invoices and bulk statements are emailed, with profit per grower per batch.
Calculation rules are tailored by the Producepak team to match your exact pooling and deduction terms.
Grower queries, answered by AI
- Pack-out summary for grower 12 this week

Inspection results are linked to each delivery, so growers see quality and pack-out together, and out-of-spec fruit can be claimed with photo evidence.
Rejected export containers cut from 3 a season to 1; mock recalls from 6 hours to 15 minutes. Office time on grower pack-out queries fell from 15 to 3 hours a week in peak season.
