FieldPro <> Beyonic Integration

The FieldPro and Beyonic integration simplifies the process of making payouts, enabling seamless financial transactions directly from field activity data.
This is ideal for various use cases, such as:

Purchases : Automating payment processes for goods and acquired in the field.
Salaries : Facilitating quick, efficient payments for field employees or contractors.
Loyalty Programs : Enabling rewards and incentives based on field data.
More : Additional custom payout cases can also be accommodated.

With the Beyonic integration, FieldPro users (either in the field via mobile or via the web app) can submit payout requests, which automatically debit the client’s Beyonic account and process payments to eligible recipients.

Setting Up Beyonic Integration with FieldPro

Connecting FieldPro to Beyonic is a quick process that takes only a minute and can be achieved in two ways, depending on the business needs:

Direct Activity Integration

Pros : Data is instantly sent to Beyonic as soon as it reaches the FieldPro backend, ensuring near-real-time payouts.

Cons : Limited flexibility in formatting or implementing authorization rules.

Transformation Table (Transfo) Integration

Pros : Allows for custom formatting and the application of authorization rules, ideal for complex disbursement needs.

Cons : Payments are slightly delayed as they occur with each Transfo table refresh, with a minimum delay of 6 minutes.

Real World usecases

First-Mile Traceability and Purchases for One Acre Fund

One Acre Fund, a large nonprofit organization uses FieldPro to streamline the purchase process for agricultural outputs from small-scale farmers in East Africa.

Their field agents interact with over a million farmers, purchasing products like avocados, macadamia nuts, coffee, and potatoes.

With FieldPro, they’ve achieved a 10x improvement in the speed of purchase validation, payment, and their audit processes.

Process Flow :

Data Entry by Sourcing Agents : Agents visit farmers and record the type, quality, quantity, and price of each product.
Automatic Calculations : FieldPro instantly calculates the payment amount and displays it to the agent, allowing for immediate communication with the farmer.
Order Report : The agent submits the order.
Back-End Verification : The system checks that all purchase thresholds and limits (e.g., daily and weekly limits for both agents and farmers, transaction caps, and time restrictions) are met.
Authorization Handling : Transactions that exceed thresholds are blocked, but authorized personnel can override this through a secure workflow.
Payment and Notification : Once approved, funds are deducted from the client’s Beyonic account, and an SMS is sent to the farmer detailing the transaction.

Daily Wage Payments for Farm Workers in East Africa

FieldPro facilitates daily wage payments for casual farm workers who are paid based on the volume of goods (e.g., fruit, nuts) they collect. The organization benefits from a streamlined, transparent payment process for thousands of workers each day.

Process Flow :

Manager Input : The farm manager records each worker's daily yield, specifying the types and quantities of items collected.
Automatic Earnings Calculation : FieldPro calculates each worker’s pay based on the item types and quantities, displaying this to the manager for instant feedback.
Daily Submission : The manager submits each worker’s completed call card.
Compliance Checks : FieldPro verifies various payout thresholds and restrictions, including daily and weekly earnings limits for workers, manager payout limits, and time or day-based transaction restrictions.
Authorization Process : In cases where thresholds are exceeded, transactions are blocked, with an option for back-end officers to authorize them if needed.
Payment and Notification : Approved transactions trigger an automatic deduction from the client’s Beyonic account, with a confirmation SMS sent to each worker.

With this integration, FieldPro and Beyonic together offer clients a reliable and efficient way to manage field transactions, ensuring prompt payouts, compliance with transaction rules, and enhanced transparency through every step of the process.
